>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.

Excerpt.

[King of Florida]

That's Kendrick Meek's district. It used to be his mom, Carrie's, district. You remember her. She used to be Congress's resident crazed black woman until McKinney.

Ileana is no RINO, near or no. She was my rep for many years until I moved into Lincoln Diaz-Balart's district. His brother Mario is the other GOP rep down here.

Anybody who casts aspersions on either of these three fine conservative Republican representatives will be hectored unmercifully by yours truly.

[EBH]

Wasn't this the building that the guards observed several men taking pictures of and drawing pictures of too? They approached them and asked them to stop, leave, etc. but never asked to see ID.

I am recalling it was a few months back?

[Txsleuth]

Yeppers...that is him.

Is that his mug shot? LOL j/k

That's quite different from the first reports that there were "no Islamic ties" isn't it? Also rather typical.

The info on the Islamic scene in Miami is very interesting. What really puzzles me, however, is when I come across little mosques up here in North Florida, sometimes literally in the middle of nowhere. They seem to be in small buildings that were former Pentecostal or rural black churches. I almost never see anybody around them. More Saudi money, I guess, invested in getting ready for the day when their attacks finally succeed...

it must be those darn methodists again.

[livius]

Gee! Thanks!

[Americanexpat]

I won´t believe the Amish did it until I see my first buggy bomb.

[nopardons]

It's because they have no knowledge of any factual historical facts. Also, Malcolm X began the whole thing, after he came back from his visit to Mecca and broke, forever with the NOI, more than 40 years ago.

[MikeA]

More bad news for the Dems. Voters are being reminded that national security is still the issue that should be uppermost on their minds when they vote in November and also being reminded that Democrats opposed the NSA wiretaps that likely helped to uncover this plot! Damn that Bush! Impeach him for violating these plotters and their privacy!

[LibertarianInExile]

"Lots of white on white crime?"

ROFLMAO!

[KoRn]

I guess rather than "The Religion of Peace", it's now "The Religion of The Hood".

[GOPJ]

We would not want to find out that the FBI has gone after a bunch of people who all have, let me take a very wild guess, Islamic and jihadist tendencies in common....

You're in luck -- the FBI was on top of their game - they pulled in a bunch of Methodist kids from a local church camp in Liberty City - and some Unitarians from a small bookstore. The PC crowd will be happy.

Look at the bright side, there will be 7 fewer RAT voters in the 2006 election. And hitlary lost 7 votes in the Presidential elections of 2008.

They were SO hoping they could pin the blame on some white, red-neck with a pick-up truck, guns, and naked women on the tire flaps. Wait, nix the naked women, there was a BIBLE on the dashboard.

[Petruchio]

7 arrests. Sears Tower in Chicago possible target per Fox.

GREAT! Just Great!

Now Mayor Daley is gonna pee all over himself again.

[Enchante]

"His most recent publications include “Learning from Past Success: The NPT and the Future of Nonproliferation” for the WMD Commission chaired by Hans Blix"

Hmmmm.... I'd make a wild guess that he's a lib internationalist, warmly enamored of drooling socialist weasels like Hans Blix and critical of anything the least bit tough on bad guys.
