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.

I thnk it's "Religion of Peace".

Oh yes. Islam is a religion of peace. President Bush said so.

Can I buy a car from any of you people? I want to go to a mall now.

Anyone do a search on this license plate yet? I know that here in Texas you can pay through the net to get details on the owner of a vehicle. Would at least show if the vehicle was a rental.

Yes as long as they leave these people in this country, I'm staying completely out of malls, amusement parks and anywhere there's a crowd. I'm also not flying.

Why don't you just die. Then you won't have to worry and fret. It's much SAFER.

If they are only 1% of all muslims in America, then they are 60,000 strong! Remember, everyone, this is a world war, and it will last for something like five years or more.

I'll bet Harvard or MIT is or will eventually be a planned primary target. These guys are not as interested in causing fear (as many assume) as they are in practical military objectives. Imagine wiping out thousands of the best scientists and future scientists at once at MIT

I've had exactly the same thought.

Btw, I've been at the Galleria mall, but it's been many years. Is that the one with the parking garage below? Very near Harvard Square, Harvard Coop?

It could also be that President Bush and Ashcroft knew what they were about and that there are many other little Ryder truck goodies spread around the country.

There was a thread a while back about some Al Quaeda types going to truck driving school in the midwest. Brides, tunnels, malls, churches.... the targets are endless for a truck and a scumbag in it.

Hmmmm, if they tried this in Phoenix, all that would happen is that the truck would explode in a large, large parking lot well away from the buildings. (There's an advantage to living out in the wide open spaces ;o))

Doesn't matter. It's a car. I'm supposed to move on and live my life. None of these events are terrorism.

put that security guard in for a reward for thwarting a terrorist act!!!! According to the democratic reps they could not possibly have saved anyone.... they were not Federal employees.

I am talking about the "seed" of the plan...not that it had to be the exact Halloween date..and who is to say that they hadn't planned something and it got thwarted

This van thing is strange because a van in a parking garage overnight would be suspicious. It seems that they would drive it in during the day. I hadn't thought about nuclear waste but this might be a way to deliver a 'dirty bomb'.

This is slightly freaking me out

As far as the Baltimore story, the story has been done in various versions. The latest I saw on this site was a K-Mart cashier and Baltimore.
