I've got a nephew on the UTA police force.

He's been working 12 hour shifts since 9/11 and said UTA's gotten 12 bomb threats, and they're taking all of them seriously.

He said that they've discovered that Osama bin Laden himself was on the UTA campus briefly in the '70s.

They are working with the FBI to investigate the presence of a supposed cell among an Islamist student group on campus.

My nephew's one of the newbies on the force, so he has to take care of a lot of the routine police duties (break-ins, fights, etc.) But he's worked some of the bomb threats too.

He's also investigated threats against Muslim students, which have increased by the day.

I talked to him today and he sounded exhausted.

This should put to rest the notion that we're not going after Hamas and Arafat's PLO! I love Benjamin Netanyahu: "Arafat is the original terrorist!"

I'll be talking to one of my cousins soon and tell them to be sure to stay out of
the UTA neighborhood!
