Report: Men Taped Metro Water Treatment Plant Terrorism Task Force, Police Investigating Posted: 3:48 p.m. CDT August 26, 2002 Updated: 8:20 a.m. CDT August 27, 2002
OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Oklahoma City Police Department is investigating a report that several men were spotted videotaping the Lake Hefner Water Treatment Plant.
The plant sits on Hefner Road, just north of Lake Hefner.
According to a police report, a person said he witnessed several Middle Eastern-looking men videotaping the plant Friday afternoon.
Police have been unable to track down the men, but said they discovered that the car the were driving was a rental vehicle out of Florida.
The Oklahoma Terrorism Task Force is also investigating the police report.
could timely action on information such as this have stopped WTC1, murrah, or 911?
not a laughing matter, is it?
Please see replies #11 and #16
Some of the reports may be mistaken.
Some of the men may just be tourists or sightseers.
Some of the men may be collecting intelligence for real terror attacks.
Some of the men may want to be testing for a reaction of security or public awareness in a given area to find a weak target of opportunity.
Some of the men may be terror sympathizers who want to terrorize by the act of being seen taping targets of opportunity.
Do have any other possibilities to add to the list?
I doubt it was a serious threat.
Feds Arrest Al Qaeda Suspects With Plans to Poison Water Supplies on Them
WASHINGTON — Federal officials have arrested two Al Qaeda terror suspects in the U.S. with documents in their possession about how to poison the country's water supplies, Fox News has learned.
The first case involves James Ujaama, who surrendered to the FBI last week in Denver. Sources say they found documents about water poisoning among several other terrorism-related documents in his Denver residence.
Sources say the government has additional evidence that prior to Sept. 11 James Ujaama acted as a courier delivering laptop computers to the Taliban.
The recent video taping of OKC's municipal water supply by ME men from Florida should be taken as a potential serious threat given what the article in reply #31 by honway says about ALQaeda operations involving water supplies in the US.
