Fox News - FBI Warns of Floating Bomb Devices
2004-06-25
The FBI warned law enforcement agencies of the potential for floating explosive devices — otherwise known as terrorist improvised mines — according to the weekly bulletin issued by the agency and obtained by FOX News. The FBI also included a list of potential indicators relating to planning a floating bomb or terrorist mine attacks:
— Reports of launching or retrieving boats from unusually remote areas

— Reports involve aircraft dropping objects at night near harbors, ports or commercial airways

— Reports of abandoned small boats found adrift near sensitive sights

— Reports or incidents of unusual or unidentified floating objects near vessels or in harbors, ports or commercial waterways

— Evidence suggesting trends or patterns in terrorist-related hoaxes or threat reporting dealing with mines or floating IEDds

— Reports of suspicious requests for hydrographic charts associated with naval or commercial port facilities

— Reports of attempts to purchase or steal large magnets, large styrofoam blocks, large diameter PVC pipe, empty compressed gas cylinders or watertight storage drums.

#7  Good point, Annie. I will only watch CNN and BBC from now on. I promise to be more trusting and less vigilant in the future.

#5  when we were on the brink of war w/ soddoms iraq, back in April 2003, fox was running exclusives saying that soddom had imported to the U.S. drone planes that would disperse chem, bio, or dirty nuke parts. Parts is Parts. turns out soddom didn't quite have that reach, or it didn't get off the ground, or fox was just plain wrong. So take Fox w/ a grain of salt. Fox doesn't have to compete with rumor monger drudge if they don't want to.
