FBI Adds 10 Names to List in Boston Threat

11 minutes ago

By CURT ANDERSON, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The FBI (news - web sites) on Thursday added the names of 10 Chinese to the list of those being sought for questioning about a possible terror plot targeting Boston.

Two law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said the names were part of the same anonymous tip that led authorities on Wednesday to announce that they are seeking to question four other Chinese and two Iraqis.

The officials said the tip remains uncorroborated and there is no credible evidence that such a plot exists.

It was unclear why all the names were not announced at the same time. The officials said there was no new information that led to the addition of the 10 names.

A third federal law enforcement official in Washington, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the tip was received Wednesday by the California Highway Patrol. The tipster claimed the four Chinese — two men and two women — entered the United States from Mexico and were awaiting a shipment of "nuclear oxide" that would follow them to Boston.

The official said the nuclear oxide could be a reference to material used to make a "dirty bomb" that would spew radiation over a wide area.

maybe some of the Chinese had access to Lop Nor the Chinese nuclear test area or to nuclear waste dumps. I guess if some are chemists they would be able to separate or concentrate nuclear waste.

CBS/AP picked the story up. As posted further up, there may be more here than first thought.

Me too. Here's what the wires offer in the short search...

IMO you should post those on a new, dedicated thread asking if anyone can identify what type of Mexican records those came from.

I think you might be right. The Mexican tip is a cover to protect a source.

>>? What, the Mexican take copies of photographs of visitors and we do not?<<

Mexico does not trust foreigners. We could learn something from them, that's for sure!
