FBI Warns of Suicide Bombers in USA

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.

After 9-11, homicide bombing is going to look pretty penny ante.

Tell me why, almost 3 years after 9-11, we are still importing a hundred thousand new alien muslims per year.

Thousands are coming across the border every night and they AREN'T Mexicans! They are going to eat America from the inside out...........

That's what I'm afraid of.

In the US, it is not unusual to see a young man with a back-pack or gym bag in any sort of weather. Forget the heavy jackets. This alert is stupid

The really evil part of this is all the muslim murderers who have mailed their bulky jackets from Mexico to their US paradise departure points and then snuck across the border. Both our border guards are looking for bulky jackets and, therefore, do not interdict the thousands of Saudi kerrorists swimming the river along with the tens of thousands of illegal Mexican criminal aliens.

There is no doubt in my mind that Castro has helped kerrorists to get into the US and that these kerrorists will do damage on a schedule to influence our election.

LOL, never seen that one.

It takes longer to anger Americans than would be expected, but I think along around the second bomber-in-a-mall scenario and there would be some pretty unforgettable unintended consequences.

But they could've been pulling this sort of thing at any time. If, God forbid, they do try it, it'll be a sure sign of desperation on their part. Hopefully an indication of their inability to do anything more lethal?

No argument there. Should have done it after 9/11.

I'm glad that I live in a right to carry state. summer time Glock 23 and the winter time 14 shot 1911 Para-ord. In these times, I wouldn't live in a state that I couldn't. And IF Kerry were to be voted in, this country will have ask for what's coming.

The Left has been doing a pretty good incremental job of that since at least the 1920's.

Be sure to call the authorities if you see any sagging I-beams on bridges, too.
