Boston, MA, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Boston police are "turning up the heat" on a violent East Boston gang recently linked to ... al-Qaida ... The gang, La Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13, has roots in El Salvador and been tied to machete attacks, rapes and home invasions. It allegedly has 100 "hard-core members" in East Boston with hundreds more in towns along the North Shore.... . But intelligence officials in Washington have warned in recent weeks that al-Qaida members have been seen in El Salvador with MS-13 members, raising concerns the gang may be smuggling terrorists into the United States. "The terrorist aspect, especially when you think in terms of 9/11 and how intent these terrorists are, will turn the heat up on our efforts with MS-13," said Boston police Sgt. Detective Joseph Fiandaca. "MS-13 is the most dangerous gang in the area," .... "They are big. They are mobile. Now they have a terrorist connection."

Well, we've been hearing innuendos for two years that these people are in our country, ready to do us harm.

I for one am glad we're finally hearing our FBI, CIA
secret service people are getting some results and
apprehending them.

I'm stunned, stunned I tell ya.

Didn't two 9/11 hijackers take off from Logan? No surprise here, there's a MOSQUE being built in Roxbury and no one cares about it and rumor has it there are al qaida links to this mosque, but damn, how can we offend them by investigating???? BLUE STATE BLUE STATE BLUE STATE

OK, maybe I need some form of enlightenment but what is stopping us from dropping a bunch of nuclear warheads on these terrorist countries and be done with them?

It's obviously apparent that they will stop at nothing until we are dead or enslaved by the Islamic cult.

I'm surprised it took this long for AQ to make this sort of connection.

You're right, this is disturbing. You've got to wonder what the world scene is going to look like in 5 years. Small towns in the Midwest are being over run with heroin and gangs. Not really anywhere immune anymore. Heroin money is going back to the terrorists.

Buy a gun. Learn how to use it. No, wait. If we just sit down and reason with these folks, everything will be just swell. Just like it is in Iraq right now. All the different Muslim groups coexisting with each other in perfect harmony.

I was just thinking if these guys were in this area, some 'good-ol-boys' would be stalking them.

The gang, La Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13, has roots in El Salvador and been tied to machete attacks, rapes and home invasions.

The very day Kennedy's Hyannisport compound or Cronkite's Martha's Vineyard beach house is affected, is THE day serious action will be taken.

Said serious action would be some wrong-headed BS like trying to disarm folks who aren't the problem.
