FBI Adds 10 Names to List in Boston Threat

11 minutes ago

By CURT ANDERSON, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The FBI (news - web sites) on Thursday added the names of 10 Chinese to the list of those being sought for questioning about a possible terror plot targeting Boston.

Two law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said the names were part of the same anonymous tip that led authorities on Wednesday to announce that they are seeking to question four other Chinese and two Iraqis.

The officials said the tip remains uncorroborated and there is no credible evidence that such a plot exists.

It was unclear why all the names were not announced at the same time. The officials said there was no new information that led to the addition of the 10 names.

A third federal law enforcement official in Washington, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the tip was received Wednesday by the California Highway Patrol. The tipster claimed the four Chinese — two men and two women — entered the United States from Mexico and were awaiting a shipment of "nuclear oxide" that would follow them to Boston.

The official said the nuclear oxide could be a reference to material used to make a "dirty bomb" that would spew radiation over a wide area.

I wonder if they're ever going to tell us if these people are muslims?

Can't do that. The principle of separation of church and state requires that we ignore their religion. Actually, the principle of equal rights requires that we ignore their national origin, race, ethnicity, and gender, too. And PETA wouldn't want us to be specists so we should ignore their species. Thus, the first sentence of the story should, in order to ensure political correctness, be rewritten as follows: "The FBI on Thursday added the names of 10 organisms to the list of those being sought for questioning about a possible terror plot targeting Boston.

I'm still concerned that the informer misunderstood the illegals, and they actually said, "Austin."

But, I'm sure the FBI thought of that.

Plenty of Chinese muslims. They live in various hellhole provinces. According to a publication on mosques in China(1998 edition), there are now 32,749 mosques in the entire People's Republic of China, with 23,000 in the province of Xinjiang.

nuclear oxide = a mixture or cocktail of oxides of uranium, plutonium, etc.

I think the story about the phone call from unidentified mexican is a cover story. They needed to get this story out but not panick anyone so they invented the mexican mule.

UR#2......yep?

What happened to the "two Iraqis"?

[Fitzcarraldo]

Have they released the other six names?

I agree....they got this info from another source.

I'm sure if this turns out to be a real terrorist threat, John Kerry will be the first to step up and call it what it is.

Chinese moslems!

Well, it is still in the story, but we must not know their names and pictures or something.

Having seen some high level government communications,

I wouldn't assume anything about any part of the government being the least bit clever, thorough, creative, able to think outside the box, etc.

IF they hire some quiality people and give them the freedom and incentives to be so, it can happen.

But I wouldn't routinely expect it.

Older orgs and depts. tend to be hide-bound and think as they've always thought.

Look at the link at #9.

"...It goes on to say "If located, detain and hold for questioning. Unknown travel made, may have entered US through NY or Boston. Call San Diego FBI [ ]San Diego, CA.."

Entered through NY or Boston?

Now look at the pic of the four who supposedly came through Mexico, who we have the pics of:

See the Spanish words on three of them? What, the Mexican take copies of photographs of visitors and we do not?

Photos of Chinese passports? Mexican visa applications? Migrant cards issued to Chinese? Hmm...

It used to be a smaller number of chinese and two iraqi's which was pretty generic. But now we know to be only the lookout for 10 Chinese guys wearing BOLO's so that should be easy to find ;-)
