UAE Dubai allegedly already bought NYCentral building in Nov.
I know Tom Flocco is not considered a credible source here at DU, but I am in a hurry to get ready for work and don't have time to research this further. In any event, there are specific names here so it shouldn't be impossible to verify.

Dubai's Grand Central Station purchase raises terrorism questions /

Long-time Bush friend Robert Bass was lead investor in sale to UAE firm

The Bush administration and the House and Senate are not addressing implications for a terrorist attack on New York City's Grand Central Station, given United Arab Emirate (UAE) Dubai's multiple alleged links to terrorism and the recent purchase of Gotham's Helmsley building by a Dubai-based investment firm owned by the Emirate's royal family.

The lead investor in the sale of the building, close Bush family friend and Fort Worth, Texas confidant Robert Bass, joined Istithmar PJSC executive chairman and buyer Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem in consummating the November 10 purchase of the midtown Manhattan office building which sits above Grand Central's terminal and underground commuter train-subway complex-a key hub of northeastern travel and commerce which is now owned by a foreign government. . . .

1. This should be easy to confirm.
Are there cargo rains that go through the station? If so, is anybody connecting the transportation dots?
