>WASHINGTON (CNN) -- FBI agents were raiding sites in Miami, Florida, on Thursday in connection with a domestic terrorism investigation, law enforcement sources said.

The FBI said one search warrant was being executed in the Liberty City area of Miami. Officials said no weapons or bomb-making materials had been found in the searches so far.

"We are conducting a number of arrests and searches, and we'll have more about that when the operation is completed, probably tomorrow morning," FBI Director Robert Mueller told CNN's Larry King in an interview to be broadcast Thursday.

EUREKA, We've FOUND IT!!!!

So the "Amish connection" is real....

Time to have the FBI swarming around those farms in Lancaster County, PA (if they're not already).

[kcvl]

So the MSM really wanted to get out in front of this to say they weren't Arabs. Big damn deal. Terrorist are terrorists no matter who they are. If they want to kill my family they are TERRORISTS and need to go.

[Txsleuth]

CNN has had some guy on that just said that he "guesses" the FBI got it right...but, he said...they have had many MISTAKES in the past...

BLECH..why does CNN have to have people on that want to poop all over the Feds??

[RDTF]

who was that?

[bnelson44]

Probably hawking a book

[madison10]

It's still going to be tough for the MSM...choosing to use the fact that they are NOT Arabs or the fact that they ARE black. Or maybe they'll somehow manage to do neither and blame President Bush.

[SE Mom]

Geeeeeeesh...of course they've made mistakes..just like every other organization in the world.

Was this a breaking item from this guy? LOL

In the meantime- WTG FBI!!

And still do. The only thing they use African Muslims for is to monitor who comes in the store and run errands, they talk to them like crap and treat them bad. So they really have no use (and have said so many times), for Nation of Islam and the offshoot 5 percenters.

[roses of sharon]

Yes, and don't forget CNN stresses that its a low income area.

Bush's evil tax cuts at work!/s

Update: Al Qaeda’s had its eye on homegrown recruits for awhile now, as demonstrated by the arrests of the Canadian 17. Remember this piece from the Times of London?


One aim is to create an army of “white-skinned” militants, men born in Europe and America who can convert to Islam and become harder for the authorities to detect as they cross the world on their missions, including suicide attacks…



Experts were struck by how the network was radicalising non-Arabs to alter the profile of its operatives. This included using women recruits, such as the 38-year-old Belgian waitress, born to a white, middle-class Christian family, who died in a suicide attack against US troops in Baghdad last November.

I will get his name...before I change the channel...

He was just told that the investigation took 4 MONTHS..and when he was asked to comment on that...he said, well, just because the investigation takes a long time..doesn't mean it is fruitful...and anything comes out of it.

Dang...he just does NOT want this to be a good bust...

He is some kind of terrorism "expert" from MIT...his last name is Walsh..but, unless they return to him, I forget his first name.

Miami...the city with the highest incidence of sociopathy.

As discussed in a great book, "The Sociopath Next Door" by Martha Stout.
And the sociopaths amongst the Marielle (sp?) Boatlift partially account
for this.

[Buffettfan]

Black Mooslims on the loose.

[AliVeritas]

You've noticed CAIR or the ACLU hasn't asked for a private prison for Muslims... can't spread the hate that way.

[HonestConservative]

Sound of ripping duct tape.........

[SE Mom]

Yep..

[dljordan]

A joyous expression of cultural diversity.

I remember that...but I don't know why they go to that much trouble..

The libs, ACLU won't let us "profile" anyway, in fact...I bet a lot of people go out of their way NOT to look suspiciously at a Middle Eastern person because we have been told that is WRONG!!!

[newzjunkey]

This is all Bush's fault!
