A bit of an update on the PHS bomb scare. The teens they arrested apparently made copycat calls. They did not make the original bomb threats that triggered the drastic precautions. The caller(s) that made the first 5 threats are still at large.

Last Thursday, several agencies, including police chiefs from the surrounding communities, had a big meeting about the threats. The media is reporting little about the meeting other than P-burg’s Mayor was upset because the four police officers assigned to PHS came to the meeting while school was still in session. The mayor sent them back to the high school immediately and was upset the school was left unprotected (the undercover leo’s were still at the school).

IMO, there is much more to this story. I would like to hear the original calls/threats that came into the 911 center. I don’t know if they will release them but I’m anxious to hear what prompted such drastic measures when threats are routinely made.

Bomb squad investigates suspicious package (Virginia)
Tuesday, October 2, 2007

A bomb squad is on its way to the Prince William Square shopping center across from the Potomac Mills mall where police say a suspicious package was placed inside a newspaper box.

Around 11 a.m., Prince William County police received a call that a man was seen placing a manila envelope inside a USA Today newspaper box outside of Dairy Queen, said Officer Marshall T. Daniel. Police are at the scene and have cordoned off the area around Dairy Queen, which has been evacuated. More businesses in the shopping center may be evacuated once the bomb squad arrives, police said.

FBI says 7 who targeted Sears Tower wanted to overthrow government
October 02, 2007

MIAMI — Seven men intended to destroy Chicago's Sears Tower and bomb FBI buildings to ignite a guerrilla war that would overthrow the U.S. government and pave the way for an Islamic regime, federal prosecutors said today in opening statements.

FBI audio and video recordings show that the so-called "Liberty City Seven'' hoped to use street gangs as soldiers who would stage attacks, ranging from large-scale bombings of major buildings to poisoning salt shakers in restaurants, Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Gregorie said. On one of the 15,000 FBI recordings, Narseal Batiste is overheard saying he would make sure no one survived destruction of the 110-story Sears Tower because his soldiers would be ready to shoot down anyone who escaped.

"These defendants wanted to wage jihad against the United States, and they tell us so in unequivocal detail,'' Gregorie told jurors. "They say 'the war has to be fought here. And it can't be just a bombing. It's got to be chaos.'''

Thanks for the links, Joe. I’m slow and my computer is even more so today. I randomly chose six of them to read. The underlying message in all seemed to be the same. HEADS UP!
