LOS ANGELES - The FBI has warned police that al-Qaida cells might use fuel trucks as weapons to attack Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, but officials stressed Thursday the warning was based on uncorroborated intelligence.
The warning was distributed Tuesday via a computer network by FBI officials in Los Angeles to law enforcement agencies primarily in California, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
Though intelligence bulletins usually describe how reliable the information is, this one carried no such statement.
The bulletin warned police that terrorists could use fuel tankers in assaults on the three cities. The warning has not been substantiated, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
The intelligence originated from FBI headquarters in Washington. It was not immediately clear why the bulletin was sent without details on its reliability.
Eimiller noted that FBI officials often notify police of possible threats, regardless of how accurate the information might be.
"Information at all levels is shared with law enforcement," she said.
Jose Pena wasnt his real name...he assumed that before he snuck into the US for the second time.
Oh Lordy, I didn't even suspect... The media has covered up for him so well. His chop shop was a "used car lot" and he never ever used drugs, even though cocaine was found in his system and in the baby (as reported on KFI last night).
Yeah, I know, but I was talking about supply line also having dried up.

Because of supply bottlenecks, airlines were forced to fly in extra fuel from other markets and scramble for deliveries by truck. But these are expensive, short-term fixes that do not address what airline executives consider to be the underlying problem: With passenger traffic rising above pre-9/11 levels, the nation's aviation business is slowly outgrowing the infrastructure that fuels it.
What started as routine supply tightness in these markets quickly snowballed following disruptive events that included a hurricane, a canceled fuel shipment and, ironically, the airlines' own efforts to prevent shortages, according to several airline executives.
Late July and early August were "unprecedented for Southwest for the number of cities where we've had to manage supply problems," said Glenn Hipp, director of fuel purchasing and inventory management at Dallas-based Southwest Airlines Co. AMR Corp.'s American Airlines, UAL Corp.'s United Airlines and America West Holdings Corp. also said there has been recent supply trouble.
Took Cocaine and Meth during the standoff...and his gun was stolen from the Salem, Oregon police department, and he had a rusty bullet in his foot from some prior incident (probably his Freeper Father-of-the-Year award some have given him)
how odd, last night i had a dream of a gas station blowing up, now i see this..
Okay, now I see what you're talking about... it's worth investigating.
BTTT for later.
The enemy reads the same newspaper reports we do.
PING to #109
I'm glad that W is president. If Clinton was still in charge, the FBI would have never heard these warnings in the first place!
Thank you, Dave.

Pierce has got to be smiling in his grave. He's not the worst President in American history.
Because of his costume I assume he is Mongolian and not Han (Chinese).
