No way to determine if we indeed found them all. Some could have been missed. What disturbs me the most is that they were empty. The article doesn't say how long the bags/packages sat, but I bet somewhere close by was a terrorist closely watching his wristwatch.

I recall the original article about the mysterious suitcases and concluded either (a) our enemy is probing and practicing for the real thing; or (b) some sicko(s) is playing games. But here's what bothers me about the terrorist angle: Why would a terrorist care how long the bags/packages sit undisturbed when the MO of the past has been suicice/homicide bombings in a quest for the 72 virgins.

Found in a 72 virgins search:

May 19, 2003 - "martyr" gets special surprise at pearly gates (UPDATED)

This unfortunate news item from today's paper may provide a lesson for future would be "martyrs"

A Palestinian with explosives packed on the back of his bicycle drew up near an army jeep on patrol monday, and detonated his load, killing no one but himself, the Israeli area commander said. He said three soldiers were slightly injured.

Upon arriving in heaven with his golden ticket and expecting 72 virgins, the Palestinian "martyr" was greeted by a familiar face.
