LOL, Olberman got his DNC talking points already, these guys were just wannabees, not dangerous at all.

Sounds like the press in Canada when they made their arrests last month.

October 1, 2001 — The FBI may have thwarted an attempted terrorist attack on the Sears Tower.

According to ABCNEWS, the FBI and federal agents made the discovery after arresting five people across the Midwest last week. One of the suspects was arrested in the Chicago area, three in Detroit, and a fifth person in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The FBI found materials on the suspects that indicate they may have been planning a truck bombing on the Sears Tower. Four of the five people arrested had fraudulent licenses to drive trucks carrying hazardous materials, agents discovered. The FBI and other federal agents also seized computer disks and drawings related to the Sears Tower, according to ABCNEWS.

The Sears Tower is the tallest building in the country.

Oh yes,blowing up the Sears Tower WAS part of al Qaeda's plan; they just didn't get around to doing it on 9/11 or any time thereafter.

But since we all know that because the first al Qaeda bombing of the WTC didn't work as well as they had hoped, they tried it eight years later and succeeded. This Florida cell planning on blowing up the Sears Tower, now, is in keeping with the way the damned Islamonazis work.
