FORT HUACHUCA A federal report in May that this southern Arizona Army post may be the target of Middle Easterners who were smuggled into the United States from Mexico is not valid or credible, a FBI spokesman said Monday.
While an agency report has been leaked to some members of the media it does not mean the document contains vetted and true information, Special Agent Richard Kolko said.
More information will be published in Tuesday’s Herald/Review.
Thanks for the update Cindy. Will be interesting to see what they say tomorrow.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “FORT HUACHUCA A federal report in May that this Southern Arizona Army post may be the target of Middle Easterners who were smuggled into the United States from Mexico is not valid or credible, a FBI spokesman said Monday.
While an agency report has been leaked to some members of the media, it does not mean the document contains vetted and true information, Special Agent Richard Kolko said.

The FBI receives thousands of raw unvetted information, he said.
When unconfirmed information is received, which in this case involved the Drug Enforcement Administration, it must be passed along to all agencies that may be impacted while an investigation continues, said Kolko, who works at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Since the terrorist attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, the FBI has been involved in investigating untold thousands of reports, and those reports are provided to others so they can take whatever action they deem necessary while investigations continue, he said.
Fort officials did do some additional security measures, which were not releasable to the public, post spokesman Lt. Col. Matt Garner said Monday.
It was a threat in May, but nothing came of it, he said.”
