DJ FBI/Terror Alert -2: Attack May Come Early As Tuesday

WASHINGTON (AP)--The FBI issued an extraordinary terrorist alert Monday night, asking law enforcement and the American public to be on the lookout for a Yemeni man and several associates who might be plotting a terrorist attack as early as Tuesday.

The FBI scrambled to put the warning out after information emerged that one or more people were involved. Officials said the intelligence, while deemed credible, was not specific about possible targets.

The alert identified one possible attacker as Fawaz Wahya al-Rabeei, a Yemeni national born in Saudia Arabia in 1979. It listed about a dozen associates of al-Rabeei.

Under no circumstances are we to be insensitive and look for people who appear to be of Middle Eastern extraction. That just wouldn't be fair.

Guess they really are scrambling. Their article didn't include a picture of the suspected perp! Sheesh!

Wow, what I miss if I don't log onto FR! I have not heard this on the news.
I do, however, know all there is to know about Enron.

It would be nice if they included pictures with these! What? Are we afraid that it would be "unfair" to splatter their Arabic mugs all over creation? Fer cryin' out loud, I thought that we were past the days of Reno and her fear of "racial profiling"!

Also, even though the FBI believes him to be armed and dangerous, before anyone calls to report if he is seen, the public is encouraged to walk up and give him a big hug! He needs to know that we are his friends!
