Well...breaking news from my town..."MAJOR Terror Arrest" in Poway.
It's in connection to the charity thing in Texas. A 50 year old here was arrested as part of that Holy Land Foundation Charity in TX. He moved here from NJ and they said this guy knew exactly where this money was going, although his lawyer is saying no (of course). They believe he is mostly living in and most of his involvement was really more in the Scripps Ranch area...so I'm not sure if the OFFICE was in Poway, or why they are saying (and filming in) Poway instead of Scripps Ranch (which is just a community in San Diego).
This news station, KFMB, is saying that there is an increase in chatter and anything could happen at any day now (terrorist event wise).
This was an oddly strong stance about impending terrorist attack possibilities, and really uncharacteristic of how they have responded when other San Diego area connections with terrorism (or allegations of such) have occured, even the ones involved with 9-11 that were found to have been here.
I'm thinking Kyla is still gone, and I don't know if anyone else can even get KFMB (the CBS San Diego affiliate) but I'm hoping that when they put the story on their website that it will be essentially what they just said and not all watered down. At the moment there is nothing on their site about it.
It really struck me the tone of this report and the urgency in their voices about it.
Anyway, will see what I can find... Here's one article from another local station...very different tone than this other report had. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/3584263/detail.html
Hmm...
Past experience indicates law enforcement activity escalates before high intensity terrorism periods.
Good catch
Oh my gosh! I'll be honest here. Since we got home yesterday I have not even turned the TV on. Mom had a major problem flying back home and American airlines had to do an emergency stop in Wichita as they thought she was having a heart attack. Needless to say, I've not read the newspaper nor turned on the news. I shall rememdy that now since Poway is in our backyard, so to speak.
holy crap! THANK YOU!!
