Well notch one for Toledo. My part of the country has seen zip, zero, nada, nothing of the kind. Toledo's stamp of importance on the education of its citizens concerning terrorism threats should be a model for other cities to follow from what you are saying.

Bomb Found Floating Near New Orleans Bridge

POSTED: 11:48 a.m. EDT April 22, 2004
UPDATED: 12:15 p.m. EDT April 22, 2004

NEW ORLEANS -- A workboat crew on Wednesday found a bomb floating in Lake Pontchartrain a couple of miles from the Causeway bridge outside New Orleans, prompting police to step up patrols on the span and elsewhere.

Police said the bomb consisted of explosive material secured in plastic pipes with what appeared to be a timer attached. The bomb was wrapped in trash bags to keep it afloat.

The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is the longest bridge in the world, at 24 miles, and 30,000 cars a day pass over it.

A tugboat operator spotted the bags floating in the lake at about 7 a.m. and called the U.S. Coast Guard because he said it appeared dangerous, according to Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman Col. John Fortunato.

The Coast Guard alerted the Jefferson Parish bomb squad, which fished the device out of the lake and detonated it with a water cannon on the hull of a barge. The explosion damaged the barge, but no one was hurt.

Police would not comment on the possible target of the device, saying only that the bomb was powerful enough to kill a person but not powerful enough to seriously damage a bridge.

"It would seem to me that if this was an organized terrorist attack, the device would have been much more powerful, much more sophisticated than it was," Sheriff Harry Lee said.

Fortunato said detectives believe the explosives were homemade, and an investigation is under way to determine their origin.

Jefferson Parish emergency management official Walter Maestri said since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks bridges and waterways have been more closely watched by the Coast Guard and other police agencies, but this incident proves how important it is for the public to also be vigilant.

"We've increased patrols along the levees as we to look to see if there are other devices," Maestri said. "We're also increasing patrols on the Causeway making sure there's nothing around the infrastructure that could be explosive."

Authorities Close Downtown Roads, Investigate Package

POSTED: 8:28 am HST April 22, 2004
UPDATED: 8:48 am HST April 22, 2004

HONOLULU -- Honolulu Police Department bomb specialists closed Bishop Street for several hours Wednesday night to investigate a suspicious package.

HPD's bomb squad robot retrieved the suspicious bag. Police only found personal items inside.

People in nearby office buildings couldn't leave for hours until police could determine that the package was not explosive and traffic was tied up on Beretania Street during rush hour.

A man who is known by Orlando, Fla., police as someone who makes explosive devices left the package at the Verizon Building.

Before coming to Hawaii, he was questioned by authorities in Arizona.

Police did not arrest the man. They said he's homeless and they don't know why he came to Oahu.

I thought he sounded a bit like a Mencha member and/or a La Raza devotee. He is probably going to school at UCLA and is one of Prof. Baca's protege Viva La Atzlan separtists.

Yup, that's where I was born and raised. Family is pretty well gone from the area though. Last Aunt (mother's side) passed on in August. Can't say I'll miss Detroit much at all - it's not the same city it used to be when I was young :-(

JAKARTA POST.com: "WOMEN CAUGHT WITH SUSPICIOUS CHEMICAL" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: " The two women, Kate Basse, 44 and Hasnawati, 25, claimed they were from South Sulawesi, and initially told Nunukan customs officials that they intended to use it for fertilizer. Each sack contains 50 kilograms of ammonium nitrate. But, the customs officials suspected something, because the amount was far beyond normal. Another big clue for the astute customs officers was that the women did not have any documents from Malaysian authorities pertaining to the possession or export of the ammonium nitrate. The officials then reported the two women to the police, who later took them into police custody. Ince said that after a preliminary investigation, the two women admitted that they bought the chemicals from a trader in Tawao, Malaysia. But, they asserted that only 47 of the 62 sacks were going to be used by them. "They refused to name the people who they were supposed to give the remaining sacks to," said Ince on Monday, adding that the police were still looking into the case and that the women had so far only been charged with smuggling.")

Along with the deported Frenchman Willy Brigitte, he is believed to be the nucleus of a bomb plot which authorities believe would have centred on Sydney.

To Brigitte, Lodhi was known as Abu Hamza. "The LeT group based in Sydney, and formed around Abu Hamza, was preparing a large-scale terrorist act in Australia," Brigitte told France's anti-terrorist judge last year.")

Tuesday's meeting became contentious as many residents of the 2.1-square-mile city said the call to prayer would add to noise pollution. Others said they didn't want Islamic beliefs imposed on them. The prayer, which is in Arabic, occurs five times a day from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. Supporters said the issue is religious freedom and an Islamic tradition. They cited the city's church bells, which ring at least every hour, as comparable. In the end, the vote on the five-member council was unanimous.") (April 21, 2004) (Read More...)
