| US foils 'New York tunnel plot' |
Itsdb |
07/07/06 |
US authorities say they have disrupted the early stages of a plot to attack New York City's mass transit system.
The alleged plot was discovered during routine monitoring of internet chatrooms used by extremist groups...
Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York said this was one instance "where intelligence was on top of its game and discovered the plot when it was just in the talking phase".
A number of plots targeting subways, tunnels and other New York City landmarks have come to light since the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center."
The NY Times headline tomorrow?

Sorry itsdb ''Your Chouxness is showing.'' I thought everybody would recognize I was making fun of a nattering nabob of negativism by pasting in ''Disaster Everywhere One Looks, Thanks Bush Crime Family!'' as an answer to a question showing a success.
So who expects anything they post to the net to be private? I don't even put anything in an email that I would hate to see in public. Actually if I insult somebody, I want to make sure thay know about it. Clarification/Follow-up by Itsdb on 07/10/06 1:52 pm:
