On Fox news, I heard a spokesman for the Arab American Chamber of Commerce say that the 3 individuals were entrepreneurs who were piece parting kits and selling the TracFones as stand alone items and that that was perfectly normal business activity for their community or such.

If it is normal than I am sure the IRS is currently investigating their past tax records.

Misleading AP headline.
Having no information is not verification.

The value is in the SIM card. I'm sure lots of criminal types like to buy them in bulk.

The FBI issued a news release Monday saying there is no imminent threat to the bridge linking Michigan's upper and lower peninsulas. Did the alleged perps intend one?

The key word here is "direct". Anybody who knows squat about how the these folks work understands that the peripheral participants never have "direct" contact with anyone or to anything.

I can't grasp how this makes any sense without the chargers. Could someone enlighten me?
To: truthkeeper; NormsRevenge
"Without their chargers??"
If I recall, they were also removing the batteries which would seem to support their assertion that they were selling them as parts (noted from post #1). A cell phone without a battery is useless for anything including a detonator.

Our lovely FBI.
The Muslim shooting the clerk at the El Al ticket counter was not terrorism.
The Muslim driving the SUV int the crowd at UNC was not terrorism.
The Muslim shooting Jewish women in Seattle was not terrorism.
The Muslims in the windowless rented van buying cellphones by the gross is not terrorism.
This is the kind of stuff that almost makes me agree with the left that Bush is an idiot, but in reality, he is just another nutless washington republican.

The battery current would be needed to use them as initiators, however if they were building initiators, they would remove the batteries for safety while they were modifying the phones.
To: NormsRevenge
Me thinks the FBI got cards they ain't showin'. Could be some psych ops going on here for secretive purposes.

Well...the FBI did crack the case of a 20 year old mob homicide in Chicago a few months ago. Give em some slack...
To: NormsRevenge
The FBI said Monday it had no information to indicate that the three Texas men arrested with about 1,000 cell phones in their van had any direct connection to known terrorist groups. had no information, direct connection, and known terrorist groups. I'm well on my way to winning Weasel Word Bingo.
