Suspect identified in NFL 'Dirty Bomb' hoax

Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The FBI was interviewing a Milwaukee resident Thursday believed to be responsible for posting what officials think are phony threats on a Web site about radiological dirty bomb attacks on NFL football stadiums this weekend.

The person, described only as a young adult, did not appear to have any ties to terrorist groups, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.

The threats, which were posted on the Internet site a week ago, were not seen as credible and were not backed up by intelligence indicating such an attack might be imminent, according to the FBI and the Homeland Security Department.

Re: Suspect identified in MFL 'Dirty Bomb' hoax

This is an interesting change. Whe those guys in Florida did the same thing it was a terrorist plot foiled and the conservative media did everything in their power to hype it up. This time around I guess our intelligence community actually decided to act intelligently.

No.. if you rely on the terrorists declaring their plots on the internet on beforehand, then I guess it may be fairly likely you won't actually catch.. actual terrorists. Not that this matters, anyway..

What a dildo. I love it when stupid people do something stupid and end up in jail.

When are people going to learn that stuff like this is VERY easily traced? You can't just post random retarded crap anymore and expect nothing to happen.

Thanks for keeping me in check
