BOSTON -- The FBI notified law enforcement agencies in Boston to be on the lookout for several people described as possible terror suspects who may be headed to the city Wednesday.
An uncorroborated report said that four illegal immigrants from the California/Mexico border were on their way to Boston via New York carrying some sort of explosive material. So far, no threat has been corroborated. The immigrants have been identified as Zengrong Lin, Wen Quin Zheng, Xiujin Chen and Guozhi Lin.
"We have no information at this time that is confirmed by reliable sources. We have information from one single source," Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said, stressing there was a lot of uncorroborated information being reported.
Nowhere in the phone call that was routed to California law enforcement officials and the FBI, Boeri said, were the words nuclear material or dirty bomb used. According to the report, four illegal Chinese immigrants were headed to Boston with some sort of material. It was not clear to those trying to sort out the call what type of material they were talking about.

Thanks for the clarification. I've forgotten the name for them, Uighers or something like that, but I didn't know about names. (I do know they have little love for the Han.)
Should be easy to spot an asian with a fro.

Mexico link in Qaeda nuke plot

WASHINGTON In a diabolical plot, al Qaeda operatives may be trying to smuggle nuclear weapons into Mexico for an eventual strike against the United States, Time magazine reports.
Your post is so true it is scary!
Thanks for the ping!
I'll take back my clarification. The names definitely suggest they are not Uighurs--whose names are as I described them--but they could still be Muslims: a little online investigation reveals that the Hui Muslims heavily intermarried with the Han and speak Chinese exclusively, rather than a Turkic language.
You are correct. Whereas, those are very popular names in Fujian Province and areas near there.
I wouldn't think so. The Mexican drug cartels have very well established distribution routes --- they can quickly get a load of cocaine from Colombia to anywhere in the USA within hours.
Maybe they tried to screw the smuggler on his bribe money and he turned them in for revenge.
This story cannot be true, Mass. voted for sKerry and were promised to not be targets of the terrorists. */sarcasm off
Homeland Security?
I can understand the INS missed 10 million Mexican illegals, er...somehow....but you'd think 4 Chinese guys from Mexico would send up a Red flag somewhere.
