>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.

Those Amish are at it again.

...and they’re not believed to be Muslim.

Was that Arab or Muslim? If they weren't Muslim, were they Rent-a-Wackos?

(CBS4 News) MIAMI After an operation that started about four months ago, the FBI has arrested several suspects of domestic terrorism in a Miami low-income housing project.

The arrests took place Thursday afternoon at the Scott Housing Projects in the area of NW 68th street and 15th Avenue. Miami Police officers were seen in the area securing a perimeter for the FBI to carry out their arrests.

Sources tell CBS4 News it is unclear whether weapons or bomb-making materials were found, but those detained are suspected of being involved in planning terrorist activity.

Neighbors say suspicious activity had been observed at the home recently.

This is a developing story and agents have flooded the area.

Wouldn't happen to be in the 23rd district, would it?

[GOP_Proud]

If they are rounding up terrorists a bunch of Amish must live there?

Those Amish are at it again.

Nah, it was those pesky Swedes, or maybe Korean Presbyterians.

If there is not at least one "Mohammed" I'll eat my hat.

[Bahbah]

Targeting the Sears Tower. That would be a feather in their caps for sure.

* They Are Not Believed To Be Islamic

How do they know already? Is their diocese tattooed on the backs on their necks or something?

[A CA Guy]

I take it you have never been to the Liberty City area of Miami??

I can't say I've had that pleasure at all.

[LukeL]

Well if they were Christian, you can bet the MSM will be running specials non-stop about how Christianity is a religion of evil.

Murtha... 'Lets re-deploy the Miami police to Japan'

Did someone ping the Florida boards?

[kcvl]

I didn't.

[mewzilla]

I'm not ruling anything in or out, but unless they've had these guys under surveillance for a while, how do they know who the heck they're dealing with?

[RDTF]

or Murtha... They're here! they're here! Send the troops home! Redeploy them here!
