Listening to Chicago scanner. EMS plan 1 at 31st and Indiana near Chicago downtown. A suspicious suitcase was thrown from a moving vehicle around 10:00 CST. Package was not able to be x-rayed due to lining inside os suitcase. Bomb techs opened the suitcase finding a liter sized container with liquid, hoses and wires. Evacuations are underway.

"Issuing all clear. Might have been an IED. Securing the area, residents returning home."Is that someone on the TV speculating an IED? Glad it's over anyhow....will look for updates tomorrow. Maybe it'll be a good idea for me to turn on WLS early.
Tottering off to bed.

"One thing that stuck in my mind is seeing these two old women in their 90's laying on strechers in about 18" of snow. If they had caught the people who did it, I would have had no trouble shooting them"Agreed. I would have too. Shame they didn't catch them.

Thanks. It causes controversy on FR sometimes. Some of the images people conjure up about me are funny. They don't know whether to love me or hate me.

The incident took place near Frog Level, close to Erwin, Tennessee. The two had Israeli passports but were found to be false passports. Nothing factual actually made it into the local papers, just the cover story.
