NEW YORK -- A box containing material that warned about terrorist activities and books on electronic circuitry and aircraft was found by sanitation workers collecting garbage on a Queens street on Wednesday and was taken to a police precinct, a high-level police source told The Associated Press.

The material was in English and Farsi, the language of Iran, the source added. The tenant was identified as a 46-year-old Pakistani national, the source said.
The ISI probably knows who he is.

New Yorkers are like Euroweasels.
While America risks life and money to protect them, they vote for Hillary Klinton and Jacques Query, the Terrorist Enemy Within America.
Unbelievably ungrateful and dangerous morons.

It's a matter of degree. There's uranium cooking off in the Earth. Carbon 14 is being created new in the atmosphere and decaying at a steady rate. We get bombarded by cosmic rays from the sun and elsewhere. That's all part of the background against which the really hot stuff has to be measured.
