Kakebeka Falls (Canada) Incident Attracts U.S Security Attention

Kakebeka Falls Incident Attracts U.S Security Attention Tb News Source Web Posted: 5/21/2004 7:19:06 PM An incident in Kakabeka Falls last month has apparently caught the attention of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the F.B.I.

ABC News reports that the arrest of two people driving a van loaded 12 drums of red phosphorous has caused concern because of fears of a new terror attack in the U.S. The chemical is highly incendiary, and ABC says American authorities have reports a spectacular attack may be planned for sometime before the Presidential election this fall.

Thunder Bay Police charged a man and a woman only for violations of the Dangerous Goods Act. Police spokesperson Chris Adams says it's an ongoing drug investigation, since red phosphorous can be used to make Speed. He says U.S. officials have not contacted Thunder Bay, but may have picked up on the case through Interpol.

ABC reports the two people arrested here were Muslims, and that they claimed they were paid $4500 to drive the phosphorous to the U.S. Adams says that in fact, they said they were paid to drive the van to Toronto. They were released with a court appearance set for July.

Another incident which will receive scant attention from the RATmedia.

Howls about the danger of our Southern border are rampant and I get little attention pointing out that the real danger for terrorist infiltration is the northern. Wonder why?

Can someone calculate the odds of the two towelheads showing up in July for their court appearance?

I think the danger is at both borders. Neither northern nor southern is watched as well as they should be. Not that anyone takes me seriously, either...

Using it for it's incidiary properties or to make meth are both feasible options for the Islam death cult. It's a win-win situation for these folks to finance their terrorism with meth

Actually, we have Predator drones patrolling the southern border now with incredible coverage to look for both people and materiel trying to cross undetected.

While this is not sufficient as yet, it is a step in the right direction.

We live just across the lake from Thunder Bay. Kakabeka (correct spelling) Falls is very scenic by the way.

Its the reciprocal of a very large number.
