Fox news reporting that NY Post says a Middle Eastern male was apprehended by NYPD after he and a group of other Middle Eastern males were noticed by FDNY personnel acting suspiciously in a building in which the firefighters were conducting an inspection.
The firefighters called NYPD, and the group of Middle Easterners scattered. One was caught.
Report says he had fake ID, maps and blueprints of buildings with him.
Cannot find anything online about this. Anyone know anything?
Maybe a 9-11 is more accurate.
FDNY on the job again!
is this illegal? The ACLU wants to know...........
Sure like to know more about the fake ID.
Most likely a NJ State Driver's license... :(
Ping aling
Hm.....
I would suspect that we are seeing a very, very effective Homeland Security operation. How better to "check out" an area that needed a little investigation than a FDNY inspection.
Congrats to all who are involved in suddenly catching, disrupting, or discovering threats to our cities.
And we know there are hundreds of discoveries that never see the light of day - must drive the terrorists batty to find their plans always subverted.
No problem, if there's another terrorist attack the Left, including the ACLU, will blame it on Bush. Just like they blame eight years of Democratic inaction regarding terrorism on Bush.
No no no, it's just an undocumented migrant ID, it's identifying the fake people that American ID's don't want to identify.
Someone posted this early from the NY post.

Anyone know anything?Only what I heard on CBS radio this morning (there might be an article and more information on their website. According to the report I heard, they recovered maps and plans to the subway system.
They important matter is to extract information, not to inflict pain.
Thanks for the ping, Peach!

A Middle Eastern man is being questioned after he was caught with others in possession of maps and sketches of the subway system. Police tell Eyewitness News, the man was caught during a fire department inspection of a previous violation at a bodega at 1173 Broadway in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn at noon yesterday.
The man was part of a group of five or six Middle Eastern men discovered during the follow-up inspection of a faulty sprinker.
When firefighters made a more thorough check of the building, they found drawings of city tunnels and subway entrances on notebook paper. There were also several fake identification belonging to the man taken into custody.
According to the FDNY, the men appeared to be acting suspiciously and attempting to hide the materials, so firefighters called the police.
The other men then fled the building.
