Philadelphia: FBI plans terrorism watch for weekend

From the Philadelphia Inquirer, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

John C. Eckenrode, special agent in charge of the FBI's Philadelphia office, said the bureau had not received any "specific or credible threats" related to Live 8 or other events.

Even so, he said, the FBI's local antiterrorism command post would be on 24-hour duty in the coming days, and hundreds of Philadelphia-based agents from a variety of agencies - experts in hazardous materials, weapons of mass destruction, explosives - would be ready to "deploy at a moment's notice."

Among other things, Eckenrode said, agents would monitor the arrival of the USS Cole, a destroyer attacked by terrorists in Yemen in October 2000, which is scheduled to dock at Penn's Landing tomorrow.

No one has responded to this post, Robert. So I will.

I can imagine a sweet young Muslim girl with a stick of TNT stuck up her female place trying to get to the Liberty Bell, but this is not the way Muslims think. They are so ignorant that they don't know how blowing up the Liberty Bell would spazz out all of us Americans.
