>WASHINGTON (CNN) -- FBI agents were raiding sites in Miami, Florida, on Thursday in connection with a domestic terrorism investigation, law enforcement sources said.

The FBI said one search warrant was being executed in the Liberty City area of Miami. Officials said no weapons or bomb-making materials had been found in the searches so far.

"We are conducting a number of arrests and searches, and we'll have more about that when the operation is completed, probably tomorrow morning," FBI Director Robert Mueller told CNN's Larry King in an interview to be broadcast Thursday.

The islamic recruitment guidebook is being rigorously revised this evening.

Think of all the cells composed similarly to this one under review by their recruiters tonight!

We should net lots of intel from these clowns.

Benjamin Williams, 17, said the group had young children with them sometimes. Sometimes, he added, the men "would cover their faces. Sometimes they would wear things on their heads, like turbans."

Xavier Smith, who attends the nearby United Christian Outreach, said the men would often come by the church and ask for water.

"They were very private," said Smith, 33. "The spoke with like an accent, sort of a Jamaican accent."

That was a good report thanks...

They just showed on CNN, a man that said his friend had been offered money to "blow stuff up"....but, said the guy, he wouldn't do that.

THIS was to a reporter...

This, plus the stuff in your post...and NONE of these people went to the police, that we know of? scary.

Last time I checked, the Sears Tower wasn't in NYC, but Hillary, Chuckie, and Peter King were screaming that terrorists were only interested in NYC, and we shouldn't waste homeland security money on cows in the Midwest.

Official: 7 arrested in Sears Tower plot

SLASH NYC TERROR AID AND SPLURGE ON THE STICKS

"There's no question, they should have given us a lot more," said Mayor Bloomberg. "When you stop a terrorist, they have a map of New York City in their pocket. They don't have a map of any of the other 46 places" that got money yesterday from the feds.

I think this is EXACTLY why funds were reallocated. I am afraid that the Feds are now finding more of theses homegrown cells and every city is now vulnerable given the prevalence of Muslim converts.

lol she (moms) was just on again

'I believe that's a stone lie!"

I guess the Carib came in as a 5 percenter convert.

It's part of al queda's US diversity program. They've been learning from the Democrats.

That is because they NEED that homeland security money. They embezzled most of the WTC memorial fund.

I'll say ... "That's a stone lie!"

Reminded me of Moms Mabley or some comedienne.

Sometimes I wonder whose side FNC is really on. Unwilling to spend 10 cents on anything but forensics. CNN may well eat their lunch in the next sweep and I hope they do: McFNC needs to wake up.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Liberty City was GTA 3.

[STARWISE]

Yep ... and bottom line: there's nothing we can do about it.
Most people I've talked to here expect there'll be an attack or attempt here.

More evidence that (many) (most?) leftists are psychotic.... truly psychotic. They are incapable of fact-based reasoning from evidence to conclusions.
