Dirty Bomb in Boston?

Posted by Eric at 8:38 am. Filed under: General

From the Boston Herald story headlined Boston terror threat probed:

Authorities are scouring Boston for four Chinese nationals and two Iraqi men who may pose a nuclear threat to the city based on a report from an unidentified man calling from Mexico who claims to have smuggled them over the U.S. border.

Another version of the story is located at Boston.com.

Michelle Malkin lists some other Boston Terrorist connections, and bit of blogging from The Counterterrorism Blog.

But, of course, it could just be another hoax or hype. This is, after all, an unidentified source calling from Mexico, so…

Meanwhile, the Associated Press is reporting that a federal law enforcement official has stressed the tip is one of many from around the country that routinely are forwarded to local task forces for further investigation. No credible, specific terror threat has been identified in connection with the tip about suspects possibly entering the country from Mexico.

and…

FBI spokeswoman Marcinkiewicz said the terror alert had not been raised for Boston.

At least we don’t have to try to figure out whether magenta is more scary than fuschia.

WindsOfChange points out some of the “don’t quite add up” facets of this.
