Reports of Possible Dirty Bomb in Boston

Boston Herald: Boston terror threat probed
By Tom Farmer and Michele McPhee

Wednesday, January 19, 2005 Federal and state authorities are investigating a nuclear terrorist threat against Boston after a man calling from Mexico told California police that he smuggled two Iraqis and four Chinese over the border, the Boston Herald has learned.

They got a call from across the border in Mexico to the California Highway Patrol and he said he brought two Iraqis and four Chineses (individuals)across the border and according to him, they stated soon to follow behind them would be some sort of material,” said a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.

“He refers to some sort of nuclear material that will follow them through New York up into Boston.”

According to the source, the caller has not identified himself and did not show up for a meeting with federal investigators in California but he did leave pictures of four Chinese men and some names at a “drop” site at the Mexico-California border.
“They were dropped by the source at a location. He literally threw them over a fence from Mexico to the U.S. side,” said the source. “There are pictures of the four Chinese and some names but just how accurate they are remains a question”

We have to secure our borders! No longer are illegal border crossers just wanting to take the menial jobs that most Americans will not do, some of them want to kill us all! (db)
