Police probing suspicious activity around Loop buildings
By John Garcia
March 16, 2006 - Chicago police are investigating cases of suspicious activity at two Loop buildings. One of them is the Sears Tower.
Since 9-11, the Sears Tower in particular has turned up on several lists of possible targets for terrorists. ABC7 news has reported sightings of suspicious looking individuals photographing the building numerous times in the past several years. Law enforcement officials have always publicly downplayed these incidents and they attempted to do that again Thursday.
Sears Tower employees Thursday reportedly received bulletins from building management reassuring them that there is no terror threat. But those bulletins failed to explain the incident ABC7 reported, that three suspicious looking men in a rental car pulled up to the building recently, got out and began studying the building. According to law enforcement sources, they took pictures before building security ran them off, but they never got their identification. Those sources tell ABC7 the car was rented to a fake name.
The fact that the car was rented in a fake name should send some some alarm bells off.
Suspicious powder sends eight to the hospital

Officials at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in New London said late Thursday that the victims were being treated for chemical burns and were expected to be released by the morning. (snip)

NEW YORK --
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NEW YORK -- A Chinatown businesswoman who prosecutors described as one of the biggest "snakeheads'' of all time was sentenced to 35 years in prison Thursday for her role in organizing human smuggling schemes, including the doomed Golden Venture voyage in 1993."
ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "Asked whether she had anything to say before the sentence was rendered, Cheng rose and gave a rambling account of her life, from her decision to come to the U.S. in 1981 to her departure from the country in 1994.
During that time, she claimed, she operated a clothing store and a restaurant, and had no interest in dealing with "snakeheads,'' the Chinatown term for human smugglers."
Yep, posted by "Murasel."
OPINON: "Murasel" gets around.
