Just reported on the 10 PM WBZ radio news broadcast:

FBI is seeking a rental type Ryder Van that was stopped trying to enter the parking garage at the Cambridge Mass Galleria mall at about 7 PM. When the back doors of the van were opened by security personnel, there were 6, 55 gallon drums duct taped to the vans walls along with gas type cans also taped to the walls.

The van then sped off. The FBI is asking for anyone seeing the van with possible license plate of 4789H7 to contact Police or the FBI.

significant numbers of legal visa holders from these countries are enemies of their governments

As an interesting side note, I heard on fox news today that 13 of these terrorists had Social Security numbers.

It may be that the time has come to fireup the email blaster and fill up their email boxes

I think you are right. We sure took down some email systems during the election dispute.

Besides...IF they report the story... it might keep people from the malls.... and that might make them not spend... and we can't have that. Economy over safety and all that. If safety were first, illegals would have been rounded up and deported by now! jmo

I am sure the pricks at MIT must be much nicer.

LOL!

Finally some sanity. What % of the replies on this thread do you think are serious? What scares me is that it seems like well over 50% and I thought us Freepers had more brains than most. Oh Well!

Remember this story last week? (Pardon my formatting, I'm a longtime lurker, new poster) Investigators probe theft of fertilizer in Whitman Boston Herald; Boston, Mass.; Oct 24, 2001; Laurel J. Sweet; An "olive-skinned" man in a button-down shirt, neatly creased pants and shiny black shoes fled with 1,000 pounds of fertilizer from a Whitman landscaping business yesterday morning when the owner caught him stuffing bagfuls into a van, officials said.

Amen to that.... I'm a Harvard girl from Cambridge, Ma... "I park my car in a harvard yard"

Someone's running code 3. Heard the siren.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"Who was listening to the State Police scanner?"

If someone has the url to the Mass. State Police scanner...I would love to have it. Pleeease.
Been doing Googles while listening to the B.P.D. and can't find it.

It's not on Fox News Channel. Are you watching a local affiliate?

[meridia]

If you go to the other long messagethread about this incident, there are posts from someone very familiar with transporting liquids in drums in rental trucks, and he said IT IS NOT DUCT TAPE - It's some type of shipping cable "thingee", I don't recall the precise term.

[dhfnc]

Sorry to be stupid, but what is a code 3?

[cajungirl]

Well, I am not joking about mass murder only about the prickdom at harvard as are alot of people on this thread. Are you a harvard alum by chance?

[Missy35]

I don't know what a code 3 is. Just started listening this wk

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Lights sirens

The link is jammed up. Too many listening. There's a link on the first page of this thread.

There will definitely be more Americans killed, the government even says to expect more attacks, as long as the enemy is allowed to stay. We already know which countries they came from, we should start sending all from those countries who have come in the past 10 years or so back to their homelands. The government might not do it, but then more citizens will die, eventually we'll get tired of the inaction and do it ourselves. This can't go on.

How long until people start talking about internment camps?
