Think I found the "attack notification" reference. It was in Daleel's "Cave of Darkness" post where he listed Al-Qaida's eight demands on the American Administration. Here's the portion in question (found the entire post on #59 here)

All you have to do now is to stand up for once a real stand for your own good and the good of your nation and people that will be attacked by total destruction (cave of darkness), and history will re-write that your punishment was a combined punishment of all the nations that came before you and walked your same path. And you will then cry like women in your underground caves.

And it will be fair enough for you to see that for us knowing that you will run away hiding in your underground caves, we will give you a prior few minutes notice before our blessed attack so that you will be able to watch your destruction with your own satellite as we would be by then have passed the sky's of the seventh sky to heaven and your nation to the fires of hell, and what and end for letting you govern them and move them to the direction of hell and what a direction!

Web game leads to bomb scare

Associated Press October 27, 2004

HARTFORD CITY, Ind. -- Police shut down three businesses and evacuated everyone inside after a competitor in an Internet scavenger hunt placed a box under a train behind an ice cream shop.

They were allowed to return about three hours later after the Delaware County Bomb Squad determined the box was not dangerous, the Star Press of Muncie reported today.

The bomb squad was dispatched Tuesday afternoon after police received a report that someone had put the box at the Tin Lizzy, at Indiana 3 and Indiana 18, about 45 miles southwest of Fort Wayne, said Blackford County Sheriff Kevin Mahan.

Investigators said David Cook of Gaston, a 37-year-old computer consultant, had placed the box under the train as part of an Internet game called geocaching.

The game is similar to an on-line scavenger hunt, Cook said. Someone will hide a box somewhere and then place the global positioning system coordinates on a Web site. Players then get the coordinates and go looking for the box.

When they find it, they remove an item and replace it with a simple trinket or toy, sign the book and go back to the Web site and log it. Cook said he had found the box and then put it back, along with others at an old cabin and in a cemetery.

"I feel horrible about the whole thing," he said. "I've heard of high-profile cases where boxes placed near government buildings were mistaken for bombs. But I've never been involved with anything like this, not even remotely."

Mahan said he did not know if Cook would face charges.

"We're going to interview Cook, tally the costs and then meet with the prosecutor," he said. "People have to understand that I've been to three FBI and CIA briefings in the last two weeks, getting briefed on terrorists and terrorism. They need to find another game."
