| Al-Qaeda active in East Tennessee | |
| 2004-01-26 | |
The coordinator for the Office of Homeland Security in East Tennessee says Al-Qaida is active in that part of the state. John Sterling told police, fire and emergency personnel that known terrorist supporters live in Eastern Tennessee. Officials met to discuss the best way to combat the threat and how to best spend federal dollars to keep the region safe. In addition to the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, other al-Qaida plots uncovered to date include targets with symbolic value in major population centers, such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Los Angeles International Airport and Las Vegas. In Tennessee, officials say possible terrorist targets include nuclear production facilities at Oak Ridge and the Tennessee Valley Authority’s dam system.

| #3 Keep deer and bear in season year round. If you get low on game, we'll bus some in. Also, for fenced areas, the sub-Sahara drought has made rhino purchase very reasonable. |

| #2 I've lived in Tennessee, not far from the Nuclear Plant near Chattanooga. I've met with the backwoods people, and have full confidence that the General Militia of North Georgia won't be worried about anything from up there. It's red America from North Atlanta to Kentucky. Good luck, boys, and good hunting! |

| #1 If the Rocky Top Brigade and East TN Redneck Rangers get wind of this, they'll load up the Armored RVs with the 33" Super-Swampers and go a huntin'! We don't take too kindly to ferriners wantin' to blow up our stuff...especially the glowing stuff coming out of Y-12. |
