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.

You bump things to the top your way, we'll bump it our way... ;0)

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

I could find dozens right now if I went out to buy cigarettes or a Slurppe!

"be on the lookout for a Yemeni man"

"What Does One Look Like?

Like a Yemeni woman, but minus the burqa, without the hairy legs, and with none of the charm they're known for throughout the 'slamic world.

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

I hope the "Emmisaries of Peaceful Islam" down in Guantanamo Bay are jerking our chains on this.

I thought the patriot act was supposed to prevent this sort of thing.

Silly me.

[Chad Fairbanks]

So do I... however, I refuse to be scared and cringe in fear - to do so would be a tacit admission that the terrorists have won. I will continue my life, being as alert and prepared as I possibly can be, but beyond that I will not change my lifestyle, my personality, or anything else just because some sick *@!&#$ are feeling their oats...

DJ FBI/Terror Alert -4: No Evidence al-Rabeei In US

Law enforcement officials said there was no evidence that al-Rabeei had entered the United States. The alert did not say whether the attack was planned or involved Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network.

Before Monday, FBI and Homeland Security officials had issued three general alerts urging all Americans to be cautious and on the lookout for possible terrorist activities.

The last was issued Dec. 3 and was supposed to last through the holidays. It has since been extended through the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and is supposed to expire around March 11.

In addition, the FBI has issued numerous narrower alerts to specific industries when uncorroborated information about threats to their facilities emerges. In the last month, such alerts went to nuclear power plant operators and to operators of Internet sites cautioning about possible threats.

On some occasions, local law enforcement officials have complained they learned from news media about the warnings before they saw the alerts over the FBI communications system.

Monday's warning was carefully organized to ensure that police, news media and the public learned about them at the same time, officials said.

Anyone staying at a hotel in Columbus, Ohio would have plenty to choose from just by going to the front desk at check-out.

It listed about a dozen associates of al-Rabeei.

Well, who are they? And where is the full text of the alert posted? I don't see it at the FBI site.

I just heard Alan Colmes read this on Fox News before he and Hannity interviewed an absolutely detestable former ambassador to Iraq.
