FBI Explores Theories for Boston Terror Tip
Lies, lies, lies....blah, blah, blah...this was a subtle warning to China to stay the hell out of Bush's plans to invade Iran ...by making the faces of terrorists in America look like the Chinese ...

BOSTON - Gov. Mitt Romney said he has become "less concerned, not more concerned" about a potential terrorist threat against the city of Boston. The FBI (news - web sites), meanwhile, is exploring possible theories for the reports — including a possible revenge motive.

FBI agents have been looking into an uncorroborated tip that 16 people might be planning an attack on the city. Those allegedly involved in the plot include 13 Chinese nationals, two Iraqis and a man identified on the FBI's Web site as Jose Ernesto Beltran Quinones, whose nationality was not given.


But the tipster who told federal officials about the alleged conspiracy may have fabricated the story out of revenge, a federal law enforcement official said Friday. The law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the tipster may have been angry because a group of illegal immigrants had failed to pay for smuggling them into the country.

Thought this Boston thing was under control...dang!

And thanks NVMojo, for sending on the info to Reid re: Yucca and Australian spent rods. Lived in Reno for 20 years...Yucca is very important, and in no way should it be a repository. No one ever talks about those silly multi-earthquake faults all through the place...not to mention the unavailabilty of enough water to keep it all cool...

4. someone with a brain!!! Thanks for your post, Whoa_Nelly!!
You are totally right about the earthquakes in the region of Yucca Mtn. and the water issue ...it is also near a major water basin and did you know that portions of the internal storage tables have flooded areas?? Where's the water coming from and if there is a break in one of those cask ...whose gonna drink the water???

5. 'Xactly!
Have been following Yucca issue for many years. At one time there was the issue of keeping water from Los Angeles to divert it to Yucca, before it became apparent that Yucca was an unsuitable choice for a nuclear repository. Damn...Fuck Bush and his neo-con cronies!

6. Still stinks.
Who is this anonymous tipster and why does an unsubstantiated tip like this get broadcast? I want to know the real person's name that called this in. Since he's a criminal anyway (smuggling aliens), that should not be too much to ask.

Another thing about this story. Before the "Chinese terrorists" story broke, there were reports of a dirty bomb going off in Boston. Now, how do these 2 stories connect? A bomb went off in Boston allright.....a real stink bomb. Who orchestrated this story?....if this isn't a terrorist act, I don't know what is.

7. Duplicate topic
Let's try to keep the same topic to one thread. Here is your earlier post about the same topic.

Thanks!
