B'KLYN SUBWAY 'TERROR' JITTERS
NY Post ^ | 6/13/05 | Jamie Schram

Posted on 06/13/2005 4:14:33 AM PDT by jimbo123

Police early today were questioning a Middle Eastern man who they say was carrying maps and sketches of the subway system.

He was part of a group of five or six Middle Eastern men discovered in a commercial building at 1173 Broadway in Brooklyn's Brownsville section by firefighters inspecting the sprinkler system at around noon. The firefighters said the men appeared to be acting suspiciously, and they called cops, who found the maps and sketches along with fake IDs. Cops took one man into custody. The others fled.

I'm sure there's an innocent explanation.

The terrorists know that Bloomberg has pulled a ton of cops from the subway over the past few months. The homeless and mentally ill have taken advantage of Bloomberg's actions and are returning to the subways in droves. Now it looks like Al Qaeda have picked their next target.

So just because they were Middle Eastern, and they were "carrying maps and sketches of the subway system" and fled - How long before some interest group is going to tell us not to jump to any conclusions about such a peace loving religion.

I live in NYC as well, Queens. This is unreal isn`t it? You would think after 911 the amount of Arabs coming into NYC would go down, but in fact the opposite as happened. Come to Sunnyside in Long Island city, you would think you were living in Baghdad with all the freggin` Burkas and ice cream hat, and the city thinks every single one of these Arabs are against Al Qaeda? My azz! But this is what you get when a RINO becomes Mayor, the attention goes more towards smoking in bars. Hey the city will be blown to smithereens, but at least everyone won`t die of second hand smoke.

"noon"??? Obviously the NYPost is still trying to get some more details of this story, but couldn't they have at least given a date to their time? yesterday, presumably?

The NY Post is the only media outlet reporting on this story so you have to cut them some slack. The other liberal media outlets in NYC are muzzie sympathizers who are not-so-secretly rooting for another AQ attack on America and are spiking this story.

Do you have any idea what you posted and how moronic it sounds?

"yesterday, presumably?"

Who knows, this is a typical "more questions than answers" NY Post story. Yesterday was sunday, I suppose firemen could be inspecting a sprinkler system on Sunday, but only if they'd gotten a complaint. And how did they manage to catch one and lose the others?

Okay, the liberal media in NYC aren't muzzie sympathizers. Feel better?

Yes, thank you. They are perhaps misguided and over zealous in giving the appearance of objectivity, but that's about it.

p.s.

Nobody who was there that day has forgotten, including the media.

I was in NYC that day, too. And the media and many people HAVE forgotten or have tried to find ways to blame America instead of the real culprits. Why do you think they overwhelmingly voted for Kerry and are decrying the interrogations at Gitmo?

The one captured was the informant, obviously.

What a dog's breakfast! Now you have the four running around loose with no information whatsoever.

Answer: They didn't shoot them. Let's face it, we're at war. They obviously had no legitimate business there, the guy had a fake ID. Shoot them as saboteurs.

The guys who tried talking their way into hospital tours tried it on a Sunday.

That's an internal policy debate in which they are probably wrong, but it's a fall cry from calling them sympathizers.

You could have fooled me , They sure act like Muslim sympathisers.

Next you will try to say Amnesty International and the UN arent Muslim sympathisers.
