I just wanted to add...when I started working at a hospital in “82” the bomb threat policy was that staff were not to leave but to look around their work areas and let LE know if anything out of place. We had no threats during the several years that I worked there.
Thanks for the alert.
20 minutes to get out, could have been a lifetime and would have felt like two.
Hard to guess, why it was done, but it worked, think of the thousands of lost dollars to Walmart.
You’re welcome - it’s really nice to speak with you. I know it’s been a while...
No doubt Wal-mart lost a TON of money this afternoon... My husband probably had at least $75.00 worth of stuff in his basket. And, I don’t think we’ll be going back in the next day or so, frankly. At least I won’t be - my husband is probably braver than I!
I’m still in shock, but just flabbergasted at the amount of time it took him to leave the store - and he was in the checkout lanes at the time right by the front of the store. I can’t imagine how long it took those in the back of the store to get out...
I’m pretty confident at this point that this was just a threat, but geesh. It would be very easy to cause maximum damage and casualties if they had targeted the doorways. Praying it wasn’t some sort of a “dry-run”.
I just thank God that everyone is OK, most especially my husband of course.
I found it a little strange, too. I’m wondering at this point how much confusion was a factor. My husband was at the front registers, so the nearest exits there were of course the front entrances. As I said according to him it took 20 minutes from the time they told him to leave till he got to his car in the lot. I would think they would be using all the fire exits and such in a case like this, but who knows. I’ll have to talk to him more when he gets home - he was in shock and worried about getting to work so it was hard to get any good info. out of him. The poor guy even forgot his coffee here at home when he left!

“Venezuelans recruited by the Interior Ministry trained by Hezbollah”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Via Noticias 24, journalist Patricia Poleo reports that Venezuelans of Arab ancestry are being recruited under the auspices of Tarek el Ayssami, Venezuela’s vice-Minister of the Interior, for combat training in Hezbollah camps in South Lebanon.
I have not been able to cross-reference the information in her article, however, the information is specific and detailed enough that it merits review.
Bearing that in mind, here is my translation of Poleo’s article. If you use the translation, PLEASE CREDIT ME.
Hugo Chavez pretends to cut back on his support of the FARC, when his “dangerous” associations go well beyond the Colombian guerrilla.
Presently young Venezuelans are being recruited for training in Lebanon.”

Let’s see what in the news now:

Several to Walmart, but not in your area.
I’ll post a link when I find it, Liberty Rocks.
Thanks for looking Cindy. I’m thinking that there might not be anything on line about it till later this evening, or in the paper in the morning. I’ll keep an eye on the local TV news channels.
Yes, I just went to several of your local news sites — I don’t think they’re big on updating breaking news.
Got something! This was posted on Channel 7 just 6 minutes ago... Will start a regular thread.

LONDON (AP) — Secret government documents on al-Qaida and Iraq were left on a commuter train, prompting a major police investigation into the latest in a series of embarrassing security breaches, British officials said Wednesday.
The documents belonged to a senior intelligence official in the Cabinet office and were found by a passenger on a London commuter train Tuesday. The envelope was then passed to the British Broadcasting Corp.

Robert Mugabe’s militia burn opponents wife alive
The Times ^ | June 12, 2008 | Jan Raath
Posted on June 11, 2008 7:20:28 PM PDT by george76
The men who pulled up in three white pickup trucks were looking for Patson Chipiro, head of the Zimbabwean opposition party in Mhondoro district. His wife, Dadirai, told them he was in Harare but would be back later in the day, and the men departed.
An hour later they were back. They grabbed Mrs Chipiro and chopped off one of her hands and both her feet. Then they threw her into her hut, locked the door and threw a petrol bomb through the window.
The killing last Friday one of the most grotesque atrocities committed by Robert Mugabes regime since independence in 1980 was carried out on a wave of worsening brutality before the run-off presidential elections in just over two weeks. It echoed the activities of Foday Sankoh, the rebel leader in the Sierra Leone civil war that ended in 2002, whose trade-mark was to chop off hands and feet.
Mrs Chipiro, 45, a former pre-school teacher, was the second wife of a junior official of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) burnt alive last Friday by Zanu (PF) militiamen. Pamela Pasvani, the 21-year-old pregnant wife of a local councillor in Harare, did not suffer mutilation but died later of her burns; his six-year-old son perished in the flames.
Yesterday about 70 local MDC supporters gathered in Mr Chipiros small yard in Mhondoro, 90 miles south of Harare, to protect him. Inside the hut where his wife of 29 years died, women sang softly to a subdued drum beat next to the cheap wooden coffin. The thatched roof had been destroyed in the fire so they sat under the open sky. The lid could not be closed because ...

Ahmadinejad: Iran Now At Nuclear Peak
In a speech in Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari province in central Iran, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that President Bush’s time was past and that he “cannot hurt even one centimeter of Iranian soil.”
Ahmadinejad added that this year was “the year of enemy plots” and promised that the Iranian nation “will not be silent until it destroys all signs of oppression in the world.”
He also said, “Iran has passed the difficult obstacles and is situated at the nuclear peak.”
