When are we gonna lock up the Moohamhead family????
One interesting tidbit is that he said he was contacted by the FBI last night and they told him they were moving up the operation date to today.
Sounds like there were people under surveillance that the FBI were going to allow to proceed with whatever plans they had but for some reason the timeline changed based on some new information. One report says that an informant in the Netherlands gave information while another report says that it was possibly from the Middle East.
However, the more crucial information that precipitated today's activities is probably the information mentioned last Friday. What that is I don't know yet.
Also, it's interesting to note that if this was a "walk the dog" scenario whereby suspects were allowed to operate while being watched that doesn't explain the searching of commerical trucks after the arrests began this morning. Possibly, the new information was that there was to be a multi-pronged attack with a cell or cells not identified other than the vehicle of choice.
Chief of the Transit Authority is saying that today's operation was months in the planning (shutting down the tunnels) but it wasn't finalized until the last three days. He says firmly that the events in the city (arrests) are connected to the tunnel closures.
