i know a billionaire genetics mogule who is fleeing washington DC by private jet this afternoon, and i've heard talk from high levels calling it a "State Department Rumor" whatever the hell that is. something about people being worried about another attack on the east coast saturday. i heard a bunch of people saying there were reports about a target in Boston.

has anyone heard anything relevant about this?

Threats now being called "not credible."
quote:Authorities have said intelligence intercepts, witness interviews and evidence gathered in hijackers' cars and homes have made them increasinly certain that a second wave of violence was planned by collaborators of the hijackers. Earlier this week, they said Sept. 22 -- Saturday -- had emerged as an important date in the evidence.

Authorities have evidence that at least four people targeted by the terror investigation were booked on one or more flights that day leaving San Antonio, Texas, for California or Denver.

But the sources said Wednesday that an intensive investigation had developed no information suggesting any attacks were planned on flights or in other cities on Sept. 22 -- a day with many college football games and the Miss America contest on the schedule.

"We absolutely have no credible evidence to substantiate any major threat on that date although it did raise some suspicion," one official said.

thanks for the info. your quote is from a different story than the boston article -- can you source that too, please?

Not wishing to sound pissy, but that's not actually a reassuring response. "We have developed no intelligence..."

Quite.

Hate to add to the rumour-mongering, but someone's posted on IndyMedia that the US Embassy is Grosvenor Square, London, has been telling its staff to avoid Oxford Street today.
Please, anyone who has further info to the effect that this is bollocks, do a spot of rumour control 'cos my best friend works there (as do loads of other people obviously but y'know) and I don't want her to panic (she's prone to.)

Yeah, now evening in the UK- seems that was just bollocks. Hopefully the same everywhere.
I think (for whatever that counts for) we're all jumpy. Rumours we wouldn't normally give the time of day are now The Scariest Shit Ever.
Hope you're all OK.
& hope you all stay that way.
& hope the same thing for us all.
