Dirty Bomb In Boston?

Yikes.

Drudge Dirty Bomb


You know, Boston's Logan Airport is where the 9/11 hijackers launched their attack from. That may or may not be significant here, but its spooky.

Drudge has a link up to the Boston Herald, but I can't get through right now.

Updates:

The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency has been placed on stand-by.

Fox News has picked up on the story:

BOSTON --ť The FBI notified area law enforcement Wednesday to be on the lookout for four possible terror suspects who may be headed to Boston.

A federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter remains under investigation, told The Associated Press that the FBI's joint terrorism task force has not yet corroborated a tip that the suspects entered the United States through Mexico in recent days, possibly bound for Boston.

The official stressed the tip is one of many from around the country that routinely are forwarded to local task forces for further investigation.


Maybe this scare will cause Bush to re-think his open-borders policy.

More here and here.

Boston. Where the Democrats are king. What a nice coincidence.
Just like liberal New York. Is it all a conspiracy theory?

Yes, the West is crumbling. But you know what? If the future of Europe must be an American society. I will be happy to help them Terrorists.

[...]        Following Entry Posted 1/19/2005 08:33:43 PM Terrorist Manhunt in BostonThere has been an uncorroborated report that several illegal aliens from the California/Mexico border are on their way to Boston carrying explosive material for evil intent. The aliens are described as four to six illegal Iraqi and Chinese. Federal, state, and local officials have been mobilized and the blogosphere is alive.Four Chinese SuspectsThe four Chinese suspects pictured (via The Roth Report) are named Zengrong Lin, Wen Quin Zheng, Xiujin Chen, and Guozhi Lin. At this time, the terrorism threat level has not been changed but officials have been meeting at the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency facility in Framingham since early this afternoon.Jeff Quinton at the Backcountry Conservative is liveblogging and relays that there’s reason to believe that some sort of nuclear material is being transported to Boston through New York. It also appears that the information concerning the purported terrorists came from a man who smuggled them across the border.Chad Evans at In The Bullpen is following the story and provides some information and a discussion of dirty bombs.A listing of specific al-Qaeda operatives with known ties to the Boston area has been posted by Michelle Malkin. Interestingly, none appear to be Chinese, but they may be al-Qaeda connections in the Bay State.Chris Short at Our Life and Scott Boone of The Speed Of Thought are also covering the story in real time, updating as new information becomes known. Over at Ace Of Spades HQ, a noteworthy comment thread has developed. Nevertheless, the manhunt continues. Others following the story:The Counterterrorism Blog,Artitumis.com,The MUSC Tiger,The Command Post,Say Anything,Hyscience.In reading about this story throughout the Internet, it’s been casually mentioned that reactions may be bordering on panic and more fevered than circumstances warrant. Personally, I don’t think that the appropriate time for sober reflection is in the middle of a manhunt.  postCount(’110618582023983115’wink; | postCountTB(’110618582023983115’wink; [...]
