FBI BULLETIN: LOOKOUT FOR SUICIDE BOMBERS INSIDE THE U.S. Thu May 20 2004 19:09:51 ET
Warns Officials To Look for People Wearing Bulky Jackets on Warm Days; Smell of Chemicals; Trailing Wires from Jackets Bombers May Disguise Selves As Pregnant Women
New York - The FBI has disseminated to 18,000 law enforcement agencies an intelligence bulletin advising police officials to be on the lookout for suicide bombers attempting to strike inside the US, TIME's Elaine Shannon reports today on TIME.com. The lightly classsified bulletin, headlined "Possible suicide bomber indicators," and circulated earlier today (May 20) via the FBO's secure Law Enforcement Online (LEO) Intranet, warns local badge-carriers to look for obvious signs of trouble - people wearing heavy, bulky jackets on warm days, smelling of chemicals, trailing wires from their jackets - and, as well, more subtle ones, such as tightly clenched fists. Someone who never shows his palms could be gripping a detonator rigged to go off when a button is released. "If you shoot him, you're still not safe because his hands relax and the bomb explodes," says a counter-terrorism official, TIME reports.
The FBI bulletin also notes that suicide bombers may disguise themselves in stolen military, police or firefighter's garb or as pregnant women, TIME reports.

RE:Greyhound Rider In Hot Water
(Clinton, OK ) -- Police in Clinton are still not sure what to make of today's events surrounding a passenger on a Greyhound Bus and perhaps a bomb or two. According to Clinton Police Lieutenant Steve Moss, the Elk City police department called to say a passenger had left behind a small device at the Elk City bus station that might be a bomb. The Clinton police department went to the local bus station and made contact with the man and discovered a similar device in his backpack. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol Bomb Squad detonated the package which in turn caused a second small explosion. Moss says they're not sure why that happened but the man has been returned to Elk City for questioning. Moss says the Federal Bureau of Investigation and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are handling the case.
Possible bomb found in Clinton, Oklahoma
April 24, 2004 Clinton emergency services officials were investigating a report of a possible homemade bomb placed near an Alliant Energy substation Friday night, according to Clinton Fire Department officials.
The incident started when fire officials were called to the substation on the 100 block of North Second Street at about 8:30 p.m. on a report of discarded chemicals. Police received a report that the discarded items could be a homemade bomb.
At that point, traffic was blocked off in the North Second Street area, and the state fire marshal's office was called to the scene.
An official from the state fire marshal reportedly arrived at the substation at around 11:15 p.m. Friday.
Fire officials said more information would be released after the state fire marshal investigated the incident.

That's what the Islamikazis *want* - if they can incite the American public to indiscriminately attack Moose-lims, it will help bring on the global Jihad, in their twisted view (remember, sacrificing or murdering fellow Moose-lims is OK if it brings on the global Jihad...).
(Not that I'm necessarily opposed to the wholesale extermination of the lot of them, mind you, but...)
I saw a flash on the news here in Oregon tha Mayfield had been released.
Same day FBI comes out with warning, coincidence I am sure.
Not meaning to be a smart alec but I am not afraid of homicide bombers because I live in Oregon and the PNW.
Kinda like living in the Gaza strip.
Another thing if Islam wants to rid America of evil people why don't they target Gay neighborhoods, drug labs ect.
I would think if they want everyone to convert they would get more support if they would set their targets on the evils of America.
How about Islamic terrorists taking out some abortion clinics.
I mean if they are going to hit might as well go for the real evil in America.
But who would work all those jobs Americans don't want to do?
In our county that discription would be of a portable Meth Lab.
I like the way you think Old Cracker. The day you succumb to the PC BS I will know the end is here.
Back Packs good one, the FBI could use common sense like that.
Back Packs are prevailant on College campuses.
Potland works to mewz or pottyland.
But rather than guaranteeing our safety, what that means is that since their resources here are much more rare and valuable than in Israel, the Islamikazis will choose their targets and expend their resources much more carefully.
For that reason, I expect that we will not see attacks on crowded shopping malls and train stations, but rather on Government institutions.
There is a nightmare scenario in which a group of these critters stages a sequential detonation attack on one of our Government buildings, or perhaps on a high Government official, with the first detonating adherent of the Religion of Peace clearing the way for a later one who reaches the target and destroys it - or him/her.
Anyone wanna bet that a planned attack like that couldn't make it into the Capitol?
Also... this is an election year... and various and sundry elected officials are out campaigning...
Everyone on this thread who is posturing about how you carry firearms and think you can stop one of these critters: think again. If you were Israeli and completely on edge all the time and suspicious of everyone you saw and thoroughly practiced at a split-second reaction and - most significantly - willing to take the risk of killing an "innocent" person who did something irrational... maybe. Otherwise - forget it. You'll stand right there and watch the person make the approach and not even realize what you're seeing.
I just hope our palace guards have got the necessary ice water in their veins... but I doubt it...
Can you hear the "Muslim Call to Murder" (ALLAHU AKBAR!) in Detroit yet, blasted out of the minarets?
I say Carnival Cruise Buffet line look out for the guy wearing a life jacket.
Stop letting Middle Easterners into our country. Simple as that. I don't care if their feelings get hurt. It might be too late for Europe, but not us.
I wish a prominent person in the media would finally speak of this elephant in the room. I am so tired of this 9/11 Commission crap "Another attack is inevitable..." Come on! Just don't let them into the country! Duh!
The FBI has issued an APB for this man...
Discussed this with someone the other day who suggested that rather than spend money on the war, the Govt should be upgrading air and rail security. I would counter that if AQ wants to A) hurt the economy and B) terrorize a majority of Americans, they should set off coordinated suicide bombings in Walmarts, Home Depots, etc. on a busy Saturday in big cities AND small towns across the country, especially in flyer over country. Few
would feel safe because of where or how they live. Retail takes a crap kicking, economy stalls, media spins it on Bush for not protecting Americans and blame the Iraq war, Kerry wins=AQ wins.
WE STILL HAVE WIDE OPEN BORDERS....
I know this...the US government has financed Alqueda....they are supposely our enemy.
Ever hear of the Northwoods document?......look it up.
Suicide bombers in the US?....I never heard of such nonsence...wires trailing behind someone? HA!
Tightly clenched fists?...Oh common now.
Hey lets all go out and buy duct tape and plastic...whatever happend to ..."We are going to find out who is sending anthrax..."....wellllll????????
Who is going to benefit from terrorism?....How about big government.
Taxes will go up in order for them to protect us........yeah...just like the government run security checkers at the airports...who do such a terrible job...but it does give someone who could never find work a job.
Oh i'm so afraid....terrorism....yeah right.
Close up our borders....get rid of lifetime politicians...and get rid of the IRS...the biggest terrorist organization in the US....and give us back Constitutional government.
Lets spend more time getting ourselves free of international entanglements and become self sufficient in everything including manufacturing and then let the rest of the world go to hell.
I've always felt relatively safe here in Dothan, AL - you just scared the bejezzus out of me.
The only solution is to start eradicating this plague of human vermin from the planet. The liberals want to empower them and have been quite effective in doing so.
Go near any high school or college and you will see the majority of people wearing some kind of backpacks.
This alert is very ignorant on the surface, but it's a CYA - cover your assets. If something does happen, the FBI can say "we told you so".
If something happened and they hadn't warned us to watch out for pregnant women, etc., then people would be screaming for the heads of various federal agencies and politicians.
