FBI warns of Terror attack on a sports arena

03-11-2006, 10:42 AM

The FBI has discovered a plot for three to five blonde or black american muslim suicide bombers....using handmade explosive belts hidden under their winter clothing. The plan states for one bomber to blow himself up in an arena, while the other bombers wait at the exits. When everyone is trying to leave the other bombers blow themselves up. It states they can kill more people in the panic when people are rushing to leave, then the initial blast. It is a very detailed plot that has been posted on muslim websites all over the world. They think it might be a basketball event with it being posted on the eve of March Madness.

Honestly, I'm surprised it hasn't been attempted by these types of groups.

According to ESPN it's all speculation. No evidence. You may correct me with a link.

FBI Warns of Threat Against NCAA Tournament

WASHINGTON (March 11) - The FBI said Friday there is no specific, credible threat of a terror attack aimed at college basketball arenas or other sports stadiums, but acknowledged alerting law enforcement to a recent Internet posting discussing such attacks.

Talk About It: Post Thoughts

The FBI and Homeland Security Department distributed an intelligence bulletin Friday to state and local law enforcement nationwide describing the online threat against sporting venues, said Special Agent Richard Kolko, an FBI spokesman in Washington.
"We have absolutely no credible intelligence or threats pertaining to this issue," Kolko said.
With conference tournaments taking place this weekend, and the NCAA tournament scheduled to begin next week, the bulletin was sent "out of an abundance of caution," Kolko said.
"We have been in touch with Homeland Security and the FBI about this issue," said NCAA spokesman Erik Christiansen.
"We do not believe there is an imminent threat," he said. "We are in constant communication with the local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, including Homeland Security and the FBI. This is not new; we are in regular contact with all these law enforcement agencies at every level."
Paul Browne, chief spokesman for the New York Police Department, said the department had received the information and that its "counterterrorism posture, which routinely includes sporting venues, remains unchanged."
The online message described a potential attack in some detail, calling it an efficient way to kill thousands of people using suicide bombers armed with explosives hidden beneath their winter clothing, said a federal law enforcement official who read the bulletin.
But the government document also said U.S. intelligence sources could not corroborate the information or say whether the site was linked to al-Qaida.
Christiansen said, "There was no mention of a specific event or organization."
In the past, intelligence assessments have been sent in advance of major holidays and sporting events because they pose an inviting target for terrorists.

So, there is no credible threat, but they alerted people there was an email claiming there was?

Chicken Little much, ChiefsKing?

Better head to your bunker and get out the tinfoil hat. The UN Black Helo's are coming for you!

Your post headline is a serious misnomer. At best, a truthful one would be "FBI warns law enforcement about uncredible email about NCAA tournament".

I watched it on TV and it's going to be Dodger Stadium, and several other baseball venues...

Not to discount the possibility. But nowadays, when something like this comes out my first reaction is to look around to see what the Bush administration's up to! Could it be that Bush's new push to resell the Iraq war to Americans has something to do with it?
