DJ FBI/Terror Alert -2: Attack May Come Early As Tuesday

WASHINGTON (AP)--The FBI issued an extraordinary terrorist alert Monday night, asking law enforcement and the American public to be on the lookout for a Yemeni man and several associates who might be plotting a terrorist attack as early as Tuesday.

The FBI scrambled to put the warning out after information emerged that one or more people were involved. Officials said the intelligence, while deemed credible, was not specific about possible targets.

The alert identified one possible attacker as Fawaz Wahya al-Rabeei, a Yemeni national born in Saudia Arabia in 1979. It listed about a dozen associates of al-Rabeei.

Lorie Due [sp] just announced the alert on Fox. I have relatives scattered all over as most people do, and it's really scarey.

Under no circumstances are we to be insensitive and look for people who appear to be of Middle Eastern extraction. That just wouldn't be fair.

Be ESPECIALLY leery if these people happen to flash a driver's license from Tennessee.

"...be on the lookout for a Yemeni man"

This wouldn't be a "Yumpin' Yemeni" man, would it?

DJ FBI/Terror Alert -3: Info From Guantanamo Detainees

The bureau planned to put photos and information on a Web site to help Americans identify the possible perpetrators.

"Recent information indicates a planned attack may occurred in the United States or against U.S. interests on or around Feb. 12, 2002. One or more operatives may be involved in the attack," the alert to 18,000 law enforcement agencies said.

The alert asked police "to stop and detain" any of the named individuals in alert and that all "should be considered extremely dangerous."

Law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the alert was prompted by recent information from interviews of detainees in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where several al-Qaida operatives are being held.

This is a real alert, FREEPer friends. Not a joke. Call me Mr. Sensitive, but I don't believe the AG would green light this if it weren't serious, especially this late in the day.

Please take it in stride, but with a bit less levity...please? No telling where these jackals may try to murder innocent Americans.

"... Does anyone else think that maybe - just maybe - it might be a good idea to close our borders to all people from terrorist supporting countries and deport those already here?"

There you go again: Trying to complicate things.

Just pipe down and keep your eyes peeled for a 23-year old male who looks distinctly Yemeni.

Ok, boys, don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes.
