The FBI warned local police agencies this week that al-Qaida-linked terrorists might use fuel trucks as weapons to attack Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, but officials stressed Thursday the warning was based on uncorroborated intelligence.
Using a computer network, FBI officials in Los Angeles passed along details Tuesday of a possible threat to law enforcement agencies primarily in California, said local FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
Though intelligence bulletins usually say how reliable the information is, this particular bulletin had no such disclaimer.
The bulletin warned police that terrorists could use fuel tankers in future assaults in the three cities, according to a law enforcement source who asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the situation.
That warning has not been substantiated, according to a second law enforcement official who ask for anonymity for the same reason. It was unclear where the information originated and why the bulletin was sent without a statement describing its reliability.
Thank you all4one for the link.

Thanks for the ping. There are so many important terror-related stories going on and it's all Aruba all the time. Don't get me wrong, I feel for Natalie's family and I have been following that story closely as well, but it's turned into a daily cable news soap. We're lukcy to 2 minutes of on-air time with Steve Emerson.

Thanks all4one for the ping.
We will continue to endure this cr@p until we get tough like the Brits are doing right now by throwing the hate mongers out!! Although deporting them is just setting them free to do their evil deeds from afar.
Has anyone posted on FR about California and Texas now having a minority majority? I think New Mexico was in there as well with Arizona following closely behind. I guess their plan is working. There's no need for AQ to attack these states for they are dealing with huge crime, drugs and drunk drivers everyday. No need for terrorism. It's impossible to turn on the big city news here without becoming disheartened.
