Note: in California 'we' all have to live behind gates and fences. In the last 3 weeks alone there have been 4 gas station armed robberies by our southern border jumpers and this is not that big of a place.
AND, Jack puts up with all my time on the computer, although he now will bark at me once every 5 minutes or so when he thinks it's time to quit and go for a walk. ;-)
HQ INTEL-ALERT Terrorism Advisory
Issued: 24 May 2004; 0500 EDT
Contact: Douglas J. Hagmann
Contact: Steve Quayle
ADVISORY CONTENT:
(1) PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION & PRIVATE TOURS: Individuals using public transportation such as subways, trains and buses should exercise additional diligence and be alert to their surroundings. Caution should be exercised when gathered in confined areas associated with public transportation hubs such as train and bus stations. Individuals on tour buses are also urged to remain vigilant as these conveyances have been specifically named as potential targets of kidnapping in recent issues of the terrorist training manual Camp al Battar.
(2) BRIDGES, TUNNELS, LANDMARKS: When traveling by car, individuals are urged to be aware on approach to bridges and tunnels throughout the US, looking for any stopped trucks, including but not limited to tankers and closed cargo trucks at the base of bridges or tunnels. People are urged to identify, in advance if possible, outlets or alternate routes to escape from or avoid a potentially dangerous event. Landmarks have been included in this advisory as they have been peripherally referenced in recent forum postings and communications.
(3) MALLS, SHOPPING CENTERS: People are urged to be aware of any unattended bags, backpacks, briefcases or other unattended objects in all populated and congested areas. Consistent with the official US government warning recently issued, everyone should be on the lookout for anyone who appears out of place within the surroundings, especially those wearing bulky clothing that could potentially conceal explosive devices and/or chemical containers.
Although some of this information has been previously broadcast in the media by official government sources, please note the inclusion of additional specific information in this advisory. Investigative analysts are finding increased instructional references to the construction and use of improvised explosive devices and the use of chemical weapons in confined areas. Law enforcement officers and security professionals should note that these instructions also include methods of detection avoidance when transporting chemicals and explosives into secured areas. Additional specific references have been made to kidnapping and hostage-taking of groups of people for political and ideological purposes.
The upcoming US holiday – Memorial Day weekend – is noted but is not considered as the primary factor in the issuance of this advisory. Nonetheless, people are urged to increase their awareness while in attendance at any large gathering of people, especially in enclosed or confined areas during the celebration of this US holiday. This advisory is not intended to be geographically specific as no references to any definite locations were found.
