Thanks for the link, and the earlier google search link RE: Tulsa and Witchita. Sounds like Pettingill made the mayor sound like a fool for suggesting such a thing - he said almost the same thing when all of us out here on the 'net suggested Hinrichs might have had something to do with terrorists as well. Admitting at this point that Al Qaeda has cells in Oklahoma, or Kansas would be equal to admitting extreme failure on the part of the FBI and our national security forces. IMHO, I think that's why they hush everyone who speaks of it...
Oh hello!!!
Bomb components found at San Diego airport
Tue Oct 25, 2005 5:09 PM BST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Baggage screeners found bomb components in a carry-on piece of luggage at San Diego International Airport on Tuesday and cleared the area to investigate, Department of Homeland Security spokesmen said.
A department spokesman said the screeners found "all components of an IED" (improvised explosive device) in a piece of luggage at around 7:45 a.m. (3:45 p.m. British time).
They then evacuated the commuter terminal of the airport and bomb specialists began to investigate, the spokesman said.
Transportation Security Administration spokesman Nico Melendez said an employee noticed a "suspicious item" in a piece of luggage as it was going through the X-ray machine.
Officials at the airport were not immediately available for comment.
The Homeland Security spokesman said officials were investigating to see if there was any link between the discovery in San Diego and bomb threats at two Los Angeles-area airports.(snip)

It might prove interesting to know if the 12,500 Iraq brought here, settled in Oklahoma and if they are the source of the cells in that area.
It is my understanding that they did.
Strange that there is not more info on the Internet about the Iraqi's brought here.
