KOLD News 13 Tucson is currently running a special report focused on a urgent FBI report outlining a possible terrorist threat in southern Arizona. It speaks specifically to Fort Huachuca in Sierra Vista. The document gives no timetable or explanation of how the threat will be carried out. But it does say, “a group of Iraqis may have entered the United States through tunnels from Mexico into Arizona,” and those same “Iraqis are believed to be the ones who will perpetrate the attack on Fort Huachuca.
¿Dónde está la valla, Jorge?

“a group of Iraqis may have entered the United States through tunnels from Mexico into Arizona,”
I sure hope they have driver’s licenses.
This is disturbing..

TM ping.
Just because they are Iraqis does not make them either Muslim or evil. Maybe they are Christian Iraqis trying to escape persecution and our hypocritical government told them “no, we’d rather have thieves, rapists,drug runners,and kidnappers, you’re too law-abiding.”

They aren’t too smart. Why bother using tunnels when they could just walk or drive across, unless that is a code word for a 5th column.
I should have scrolled down.
Great minds and all that.

Viewers Respond To Security Alert
By Som Lisaius, KOLD News 13
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “It’s only a document, but this FBI urgent report has certainly ruffled a lot of feathers since we told you about it last night.
KOLD News 13 is the only news outlet to obtain the report which outlines a possible terrorist threat right here in Southern Arizona.
It speaks specifically to Fort Huachuca in Sierra Vista.
It gives no timetable or explanation of how the threat will be carried out, but does say “A group of Iraqis may have entered the United States through tunnels from Mexico into Arizona.”
And those same “Iraqis are believed to be the ones who will perpetrate the attack on Fort Huachuca.”
“The military is always a target, I believe.”
That’s Lt. Colonel Matthew Garner of the United States Army.
He says Fort Huachuca was notified of the threat in May and very specific measures were taken to protect the Fort and its 13-thousand people.
For security purposes, he wouldn’t tell us what those measures were.
But assured us Fort Huachuca is fully prepared for any threat that comes its way.
“We operate within that knowing that we are always a target,” he said. “And then we take all precautions necessary whether it’s a general threat or a specific threat like the one you’re talking about.”
When we asked government officials about the document, they were more concerned with where we got it than verifying what it had to say.
When we told them we were moving forward with the story, the FBI released a statement saying, “The information in this report was disseminated to law enforcement and intelligence partners for situational awareness, even though it had not been completely evaluated.”
They went on to say, “There is no information to state this is a credible threat. We remind people to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity to their local authorities.””
Tunnels? You have got to be kidding me. They can cross the border in the creek bed of Copper Canyon anytime, follow it up the west side of the Coronado National Memorial, enter the mountains between Miller and Montezuma peaks and follow the ridgelines northwest strait to Fort Huachuca. Been there, done most of that. Heavy cover and full concealment all the way. They would have to cross exactly one barbed wire fence and two dirt roads. One road is not much more than a jeep trail, the other one is actually just a foot trail. No BP, no farms or ranching to speak of, almost 100% wilderness National Forest and not a soul around to ask any questions.
Thank you starwise and rushmorerocks for the ping.
You forgot the requisite photo that accompanies this sentiment:
It sounds like you have just described an excellent locale for an ambush.
It's also interesting that he apparently has set his site to not allowing copying articles for posting or even excerpting elsewhere.
People don’t know the half of it.
Interesting.
Weapons all cleaned, loaded and within reach!
Except from the Radar Balloons!
