#3 Remember the NYC plot that the cops busted open prematurely? Most of the conspirators got away ... and with them the makings for a whole lot of Mother of Satan explosive. There were references to 'warehouses' at unknown locations.

Now, that was NYC and this is Chicago. But worth keeping track of ...

FBI, Joint Terrorism Task Force Raid Chicago Apartment
May 26, 2009

Very little is being reported on a recent raid that resulted in 2 arrests, in Chicago. A source in federal law enforcement told Fox Chicago that the case is similar to one that unfolded in New York.

Glenda Johnson saw so many police and plain clothed federal agents on her block that she thought someone had been shot.

The police was so crowded, you couldnt even walk past. They was in trucks, they was in cars, they was in regular cars. It looked like someone had killed someone, said Johnson.

That swarm of badges consisted of the FBI, Chicago Police and the Joint Terrorism Task Force. In their sights were two buildings on the 6300 block of North Artesian. People who live in a six flat there say the feds were very interested in its basement, specifically, two storage lockers.

A spokesperson for the FBI confirms a search warrant was executed at the building as part of an ongoing investigation. Glenda Johnson says an FBI agent made the search sound extremely urgent.

They was looking for someone who lives in this building. So I was like whats the cause? They said we dont want to say yet, but its a life and death situation. I was like wow, said Johnson.

From what i know Artesian and Campbell ave's are parallel in Chicago
