Boston Under Terror Alert

Mayor
Mumbles of Boston just gave a most disconcerting press conference in
which he basically confirmed that the FBI had informed him of a specific
threat against the city of Boston. He did not offer ANY details
of what the warning consisted of, just denied rumors of a dirty bomb
or an LNG tanker attack. The Govenor is on his way back from Washington,
going to skip the Inauguration. Everybody is supposed to watch out for
4 Chinese individuals – great news for our
Oriental
students,
arriving
this week
for the new semester.

Then this came across the AP:

Boston Agencies Alerted of Possible Terror Threat
Jan 19, 2005 5:05 pm US/Eastern

BOSTON (AP) — The FBI has notified law enforcement agencies in Boston to be
on the lookout for four people described as possible terror suspects who may
be headed to the Boston area.

A federal law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity tells The
Associated Press that the FBI’s joint terrorism task force has not yet corroborated
a tip that terror suspects may have entered the U-S through Mexico in recent
days.

The official says the tip came from an unidentified individual and is similar
to dozens received by law enforcement agencies each week.

A spokesman for Governor Romney says the governor will speak with reporters this
afternoon in Washington DC and then return to Boston. Romney was in Washington
to attend President Bush’s inauguration.
