they may be probing, but im doubting very much that these guys are it. they might as well have been carrying signs that say 'TERRORIST' from her description.
no if there are probes happening, then this wasnt one of them.
The terrorists did the same type of thing a few weeks before 911...which was noticed by James Wood and nothing came of it...until they crashed the plane into the tower on 911.
Just because we don't think they will do it again...doesn't mean they wont...it also doesn't mean that they will use such ruses as ploys to divert our attention...meaning these 14 are acting out a roll in terror either way. Diversions are effective tools in any war.
We'd best remain vigilant all around...and what this lady reported proved to be well worth her concern and trouble IMHO. Clearly, the authorities were very interested as well they should have been.
Agreed that something is fishy about the story.
I believe it happened as reported but it was not a dry run.
Any smart terrorist would not be so obvious and draw attention to their plans.
I believe it to be a decoy. Get us to look in that direction then hit us where we aren't looking.
My guess is trains.
Taking out several major rail lines would tie up commerce for days and cost plenty. Disrupt food supplies and many other needed goods delivered across country.
