Police Investigate Bomb Threat Outside Studio 5

CHICAGO — Police detonated a suspicious package Wednesday outside 401 N. Michigan Ave., the building in which WMAQ’s Studio 5 is located.

NBC5’s Alex Perez reported that the situation began around 2:30 p.m., and police detonated the object around 4 p.m. A massive police response was involved, with about 40 to 50 officers cordoning off the area.

Officials told Perez that a man carrying a briefcase walked into the Italian Trade Commission on the 30th floor of the building and annonced he had a bomb. The man was escourted out of the building, where he apparently dropped the briefcase.

A police spokesman described what happened:

“(The suspect) waited quite a while for that person to come back from lunch, when that person came back from lunch, he didn’t know who this person was, and the gentlemen started speaking gibberish ... he had a briefcase with him and said there was a bomb in the briefcase,” the police spokesman said.

Police took the man into custody and detonated the briefcase, which officials said contained wires, but no actual explosive device......

Mohammed now second most popular boys' name in Britain

For the last 13 years Jack has been the most popular boys' name in the land.

But in multicultural Britain children named after the Muslim prophet Mohammed come a close second.

In a reflection of the increasing influence of Islam, figures released yesterday showed the most popular spelling of the name - Mohammed - had climbed five places to 17th in the annual list of top baby names.

However, when the seven other spellings of the name are taken into account, the total comes to 6,347 babies, making it the second most popular name of the year - up from 5,936 last year.

Although Jack topped the list with 6,772 babies, that figure fell 156 on last year, meaning if the trends were repeated next year, Mohammed and its variant spellings would be the most popular choice in England and Wales.

The other spellings are Muhammad, Mohammad, Muhammed, Mohamed, Mohamad, Muhamed and Mohammod.

The last national census in 2001 put the UK Muslim population at 1.6million, but this will have grown substantially in the past five years.

“Gibberish?”

Could be the one person did not understand what the other was saying.
That doesn’t make it gibberish.

Thanks Velveeta.

I appreciate this post.
