NEW YORK - WNBC.com has learned that NYPD and FBI officials are now revisiting an incident that occurred along the Canadian border last month because they are concerned there might be a connection to the Times Square explosion. Four men trying to cross the border tried to flee the checkpoint when Canadian officials tried to question them, investigators said. Two of the men got away, officials said.

The men left behind a backpack with photos of various New York City locations including Times Square, according to sources speaking on condition of anonymity. One of the photos included the military recruitment center, officials said. As a precaution, NYPD outreach officers last month went to various New York City businesses, including the Times Square recruitment center, to investigate if there had been any recent threats. No threat information was known at the time.

Your information couldn’t be more wrong regarding the deserters: We threw their sorry asses OUT of here and returned them to the tender attentions of your military.

They TRIED to claim refugee status, after volunteering to serve in the US armed forces. Our courts basically laughed them out of the country.

John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president and a former Navy lieutenant commander, called the Times Square explosion "unacceptable."

"We cannot allow this to happen to the men and women serving in our military whether they are at home or abroad," McCain said.

Mmmm Hmmm. Porous borders and de facto amnesty for all illegals, regardless of gang affiliation or criminal background, is a great way to walk that talk, Senator.

Thanks for the info!

I still suspect roving anarchists; where their money comes from, I have no idea, but they seem to have the bucks to cruise the universe, showing up in one country or another long enough to cause trouble and then move on.

*While the exact numbers are not known, thouasands of Canadians went to the United States, joined the United States Military, and fought in
Vietnam.
*Not everyone in Canada is a moonbat, hippie, tree-hugger, or desserter-lover, in fact, they are in the minority, which is why our far left political party will never be elected—
The United States has its share of moonbat, hippie, tree-hugger, or desserter-lovers as well-—

* Canada is also at war—you will find very little patience for desserters here.

What are you doing to take care of terrorist cells in the United States?

Maybe we should send the PPCLI, or RCR, and a battery of guns in to take care of them.

Well said.

Right now, my money’s on white suburban punk anarchists.
Try this instead. Right now, my money's on middle eastern adult men with long beards, smelly and diapers on their heads.
What does a diaper on a baby and a diaper on a Muslim have in common?? They are both full of sh@t.

The target seems wrong to me for ME terrorists. It appears more like someone’s been watching the Berkeley recruiting saga, saw that Berkeley got lots of bad press in the media and decided to show some unsolicited solidarity.

Code Pink, behind the Berkley recruiting saga, helps fund AQ.
