The massive FBI probe that triggered raids in Queens is focused on a Denver-based terror cell plotting another attack on the scale of 9/11, the Daily News learned Tuesday.

Hundreds of FBI agents are on the ground in Colorado, conducting round-the-clock surveillance on five suspects - including a man who recently visited Queens, sources told The News.

What in the world is wrong with our immigration screening that we have terror cells living in Queens and Colorado, of all places? How are these people getting into our country eight years after 9/11? Are these people entering as asylees/refugees? Family reunification?

Could be so...the article states they are Afganis which is unusual.

Maybe AlQueda is now using Afganis because it may be easier for them to get a visa (if they can convince they are refugees).

Good thing they are keeping this quiet. Wouldn’t want to spook the terrorists. /S

” Good thing they are keeping this quiet. Wouldn’t want to spook the terrorists. /S “

From very deep in the above referenced NY Daily News article — (This is not good...)

>>>FBI officials are furious at Kelly over Monday’s raids because the NYPD seemed intent on scaring off the cell - which is believed to be plotting a New York attack.

The FBI hoped to wait and determine what the Colorado cell was planning.

Two other sources confirmed the FBI-NYPD rift. An investigator involved in the case said Kelly prefers to “act too soon rather than act too late.”

But it's oppressive of the opposite sax.

Well, seems like the FBI WAS a little late on the last successful big one.

Nope — it’s turning into too much of a cluster-f**k for that (see my post above)... It’d be much slicker and better choreographed if it was ‘fake-but-accurate’......

” and nobody would know because it was so lame. “

Obama isn’t that bright, and his staff (AKA handlers/puppetmasters) are too arrogant and dismissive of the intelligence of the American population (apparently, with good reason) to go to the trouble of setting up a ‘double-twist’ con....

Believe what you want - but I’m staying away from soft targets for a while.... ;)

“Hundreds of FBI agents are on the ground in Colorado”

Is the ACLU’s John Adam’s Project there getting pictures of the FBI agents so they can pass them around to the terrorist cells?
