Angry Nothing To Worry About!!!!!!

Oh, nothing to worry about....we have absolutely no information on this but, the Governor is not worried, but is on his way back from the Inauguration early to oversee nothing! Here are some pictures of 4 Chinese folk who are not being implicated for anything but if you see them call the FBI immediately!!! The Mayor has a news conference to announce that he has absolutely no information about anything at all....so basically live your lives citizens.....much ado about nothing???? Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

True SKD... true...

However, if we bring things down to a local news level, think about what %of the news is about bad stuff, and what % of the news is about good stuff. So many good things happen every day and teh news will never report it.. The ratings are always better when something bad is happening.

Question

Well, the New York Post had this on the front page this morning.

4 Chinese nationals...hmmm...kinda makes you wonder why they would want to set off a dirty bomb...in Boston. Are they Muslim extremists? (There is a large muslim population in China). But these guys don't look it.

Must be Yanks fans or something.

Bet ya $10 they stopped by Mohegan or Foxwoods. Might be able to nail them there first.

FBI RACE TO NAB 'DIRTY' 4
By MURRAY WEISS and ANDY SOLTIS

Four Chinese nationals — described as possible terror suspects who passed through New York — are being hunted in connection with a potential “dirty bomb” attack in Boston, the FBI said yesterday. The Boston Herald reported that the Chinese were involved with two Iraqis — but Boston Mayor Thomas Menino

said he had no information about that. The search for the four began after an anonymous caller claimed the two men and two women were smuggled into the United States from Mexico and are headed for Boston, law-enforcement sources said.

Federal officials gave few details, but FBI spokeswoman Nenette Day said, "I can confirm that we are investigating it aggressively."

Federal prosecutors in Massachusetts released the names and photographs of the four and said they were wanted for questioning in connection with "an unspecified potential threat to the city of Boston."

Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said authorities were taking the threat very seriously.

The threat "mentions a location where the individuals were dropped off. That location is New York," Romney said.

"It identifies also a location where a threat might be directed, and that location is Boston."

Mayor Bloomberg said that New York's Joint Terrorism Task Force had been briefed, but added that "they do not see any threat to New York City."

The alarm began when San Diego cops got a call from a tipster in Mexico who said the quartet had come across the border and were headed for Boston with a specific chemical, sources said.

The caller also said the four would be dropped off in New York before heading to Boston.

The caller told cops to meet him — but when police showed up, all they found were photos of the four Chinese, along with their names, sources said.

The information was passed to California state police and then the FBI, prompting concern among law-enforcement officials coast to coast.

Massachusetts authorities do not believe the individuals — identified as Guhzhi Lin, Zengrong Lin, Xiujin Chen and Wen Quin Zhen — have arrived in the state, Romney said.

The release of the photographs came after ABC News reported that teams equipped with radiological sensors were patrolling Boston amid a possible "dirty bomb" threat.

Boston FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said that she was not aware of such patrols, and that the information used in the report was not corroborated.

None of the four is listed on any "watch list," authorities said.

The alert level in Boston, set by the Department of Homeland Security, was not increased from "yellow," or elevated, the FBI said.

Menino said there were no new developments in the bizarre case.

"We have no information on dirty bombs," he said. "We have no information at this time that's confirmed by reliable sources."
