FBI Adds 10 Names to List in Boston Threat

[NVMojo]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The FBI on Thursday added the names of 10 Chinese to the list of those being sought for questioning about a possible terror plot targeting Boston.

Two law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said the names were part of the same anonymous tip that led authorities on Wednesday to announce that they are seeking to question four other Chinese and two Iraqis.

The officials said the tip remains uncorroborated and there is no credible evidence that such a plot exists.

It was unclear why all the names were not announced at the same time. The officials said there was no new information that led to the addition of the 10 names.

1. Is this a hint that China and Iran has turned Buddies

Boston is home to MIT and Harvard!!!

[barackmyworld]

2. maybe they were bitter for not getting in? :)

that's our theory here at H

(no, not really before someone yells at me)

[candy]

12. Harvard and MIT are in Cambridge,not Boston.

Two different cities!

[Halliburton]

3. Give me a break...

Chinese Terrorists? After the Albany Mosque fiasco, you would think Ashcroft's goons would have learned their lesson by now! After discriminating against Arabs and Indians, I guess these goons felt like discriminating against another race. Next time they'll issue another alert about black terrorists!

4. Give me a break!

The key word for today is vaporscare!

16. Chinese terrorists in Boston?

Yep, whatever are they going to come up with next?

[frylock]

5. remember the report about the chechnyan rebel backpackers..

in black pajamas that were crossing the Mexican border? This story has about as much cred.

14. Were they also wearing scuba diving gear?

22. But we never got answers about the Israeli "movers" 1900 + miles from

where they said they were going to deliver furniture. Chicago rental truck (overdue) and delivery address but they show up in the desert Southwest?!?! And where was that other team of Israeli movers pulled over? Was it Tennessee area, I can't recall? So little news about incidents like those. :wtf:

[KamaAina]

6. What happened to the two Iraqis?

Yesterday in LBN it was all "four Chinese and two Iraqis". By last night it was just four Chinese. Now it's ten Chinese, still no Iraqis. What gives?

[shadowknows69]

7. no credible evidence that a plot even exists

but we have 10 suspects for this alleged plot to plot.

8. Woger, is thewe a Woger??? Wodewick???

9. Sounds like a setup against Kerry

Now the rethugs can say, 'How can Kerry critize bush on terrorism when he didn't bother to check on the terrorism threat happening in his own backyard.'

The article said
"Information is still uncorroborated and from a source of unknown reliability and motive," Parris said.

Then why in the sam hill would they publish their names
"They're not wanted at this point in time for any crimes because there's no evidence at this point in time that they've committed any crimes," Sullivan said. "We're not certain exactly where they are. We can't even say for certain that they're in the country."

I guess the rethugs got tired of broadcasting bin Laden tapes.

10. it's a threat to Kerry from the two inch weeny neocons ...fear, fear, fear

[suffragette]

11. maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight, but

this odd uncorroborated "tip" linking Chinese, Iraqis and a "terror plot" keeps making me think of that damned PNAC report which lists regime change in China as a goal. Add that to *'s speech today and hmmm
:tinfoilhat:

[BattyDem]

15. Damn! I thought the same thing!!

He can't be crazy enough to attack China, can he? They have nukes and a billion people - there's no way in hell we would win! :scared:

[suffragette]

18. I doubt it

Bullies only directly attack those they feel they can grind under their heel.
If they are going in this direction, I imagine it would be by more nefarious means, maybe economic.
Still, I hope this isn't their newest maneuver in their attempt to impose "Pax Americana."

[Pachamama]

20. Guess I'm officially a tinfoil-hatter now...I thought the exact same thing

:tinfoilhat: :hi:

[TahitiNut]

13. (hmmm..) Chinese Islamic Fundamentalists?

The "yellow peril" lives. :eyes:

[Sufi Marmot]

19. I bet this is going to be simply a case of human trafficking...

It goes on all the time in North America - impoverished and desperate Chinese pay traffickers to smuggle them into America and Canada, often under ghastly circumstances. Some get caught, some die en route, and some make it disappear into large cities. A few years ago a bunch were dumped on a remote part of Vancouver Island (in the middle of nowhere), where they were promptly rounded up, and, if memory serves, sent back.

21. I wonder if these people have something on Bush

After all, how would we know the difference, being fed all this information without any proof? Could this be an attempt to round up people who witnessed something? Just a thought... :tinfoilhat: :shrug:
