MAIMI -- An advisory has been sent out to police departments across the state. It's a warning about three men who may be putting together a dangerous plan involving Miami.

A woman at a Georgia restaurant says she overheard three men talking about coming to Miami and she didn't like what she heard. So tonight police are on the lookout for those men.

One day after America remembers September 11th, an alert is issued to police departments across the state about three men.

A woman overheard them talking Thursday morning at a Shoney's restaurant in Calhoun, Georgia. The woman claims the men said, "They (Americans) mourned on 9/11 and they are going to mourn again on 9/13." The men also discussed "running 5 hours behind schedule." One of the men reportedly said, "We do not have enough to bring it down." The men then left the restaurant, and headed south on I-75.

Miami-Dade County officials say they are not taking any chances.

Steve Shiver, Miami-Dade County Manager says, "At this point in time we have no reason... ...to be aware of our surroundings."

We have comprised some information about these men and police are asking for your help.

The description of the first car:

A Nissan Maxima: cream color with gold trim and a Carmax tag on the front of the vehicle.

Now the second car:

A new Honda, black with Illinois plates.

Now for the suspects' descriptions;

First: A man of possible Middle Eastern descent, 5'10'', 200 pounds, 20-30 years old, black hair, brown eyes, set wide apart, thick beard that extends past his collar.

Second man: again, possible Mideastern descent, 5'7'', 130 pounds, black hair that comes down to his collar.

The third and final man, also of possible Mideastern descent, 5'7'' 130 pounds, shiny black hair.

Now we want to stress tonight, as we speak, the nation is still at an orange alert. (the second highest) This may be nothing, but they just want to talk to these men to make sure.

If you have any information you are urged to call Miami-dade CrimeStoppers at (305) 471-TIPS or in Broward call (954) 493-TIPS.

I have had this knot in my gut all day, feeling something terrible is going to happen soon.

Bump

[Husker24]

This could be something, or it could be a few people trying to be overheard, in order to scare someone.

[Lucas1]

Hmmm maybe this should be in breaking news.....

[ClancyJ]

These terrorists will find they are going to have a lot harder time getting us from now on. Millions of eyes and ears out there defending this country. Maybe it is time to get that camera back in my car to get pictures of suspicious activities.

Fair warning all - I've got my camera.

Yo, Steve, what's that weird sheeet you're smoking?

[Vidalia]

[Chad Fairbanks]

Anyone got a Florida Ping List?

[RummyChick]

They could also be taking a flight out of miami to go somewhere else...

and why were they speaking in English?????
and where they could be overheard....

They used to put paper towels in the bathroom sink drain and turn on the faucet.

Now they mess with the Shoneys waitress' head instead.

[Howlin]

FYI.

I was about the post his.

Admin Monitor, bump to Breaking News? Don't know if this is legit, but I think its a good idea to put in Breaking News for now.

In another thread someone else was speculating about Friday the 13th being a possible terrorist strike date due to the negative connotation.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Sometimes, it helps to ping them... they can't be everywhere at once :0)</p>

[RummyChick]

I never know where to put something..it seems breaking news articles are frequently removed by Admin...and just how many Aroused Chelsea threads will end up being deleted ;-)

[Husker24]

Yea, ive got a feeling this was just a sick joke. Why would they discuss this in English in a public place. Nevertheless its good that she reported this, there is always a chance it could be real.

[oceanperch]

Instead of an Amber Alert we need a Turban Alert for these scum buckets.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Hmmm... maybe those guys had a copy of the People Magazine in question, and were talking about the picture????

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Fair warning all - I've got my camera.

put down your camera and put a carbine in your trunk--- or take both if you like.

[RummyChick]

The interesting comment is that they don't have enough to bring it down...damnit..sounds like another plane deal but could be lots of other things. They could be flying out of Miami tomorrow.

THis is a terrible thing to say...but in some ways if they are going to do something I wish they would hurry up and do it so all the namby pamby RATS will get on the bandwagon and release what we are facing of course I don't really want anything to happen...but if it is going to happen..do it already
