Adnan El Shukrijumah was actively plotting a dirty bomb and he has been linked to the Lackawanna Six.
The message that was intercepted before the FBI intercepted the Lackawanna six was the 'watermelon was delivered'.
As to whether the watermelon was a dirty bomb...who knows.
The sting that was caught here in NJ called the missile that was delivered a 'shoe'.
So I have no idea how these code words are thought up.
Let's remember our discussion that there is no one in DC in August......so this will probably happen between now and the end of July.
This weekend is Fleet Week in NY
This weekend is the WW2 Memorial Dedication DC
G8 is June 8-10/04 Georgia
NATO Istanbul June 28 & 29
DemocRAT Convention July 26-29 Boston
Republican Convention is August 30-Sept 2 NY
What else??
Ok I went to google and now have a new feeling for the story of the watermelon code. There is more than I can see, when you get there, also click the 'news' link at the top, not sure about the results.
I would say that this has to do with G-8, and Mexico anarchists. Sorry that I am not going to be able to see the links well enough to post the ones that I should, and to check the ones that should be checked.
There wasn't much for adding the 1425 worth looking at, I need to go back and try 440 in front of the search. I started with Google for:
waiting for the watermelon
(Mexico) "Waiting for Sub Comandante Marcos"
http://struggle.ws.mexico/accounts/wait_marcos.html
(at this point I was thinking "Waiting for something or someone from Mexico" Then went to the forum linked to above and get a relation to G-8, read the Genoa thread and Blackhawk down and the list of anarchist groups, I didn't check for todays posts.)

Cal, related to your post on Buffalo:
"Waiting for a Watermelon, FBI coded messages led to Buffalo terror sweep"
http://laoveterans.com/sept2002.html
Need to dig around that site too.
"The sting that was caught here in NJ called the missile that was delivered a 'shoe'. "
Which are distributed in pairs I bet.
