(Boston MA USA)--The FBI notified law enforcement agencies in Boston to be on the lookout for several people described as possible terror suspects who may be headed to the city Wednesday.
NewsCenter 5's David Boeri reported that an uncorroborated report said that several illegal immigrants from the California/Mexico border were on their way to Boston carrying some sort of explosive material. So far, no threat has been corroborated.

enforcement agencies in Boston to be on the lookout for four people described as possible terror suspects who may be headed to the city Wednesday.The four suspects have been identified as Zengrong Lin, Wen Quin Zheng, Xiujin Chen and Guozhi Lin.  



The four suspects have been identified as Zengrong Lin, Wen Quin Zheng, Xiujin Chen and Guozhi Lin.

Anyone with information about the threat or the four suspects is asked to call the FBI at 617-742-5533.

The mayor said that he was first notified about a possible problem at about 10:30 a.m. and he immediately met with his security advisor. Officials have been meeting at the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency bunker in Framingham since about 1:30 p.m.

The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency has been placed on standby, and public safety officials are meeting at the bunker, according to a published report Wednesday.

"We have no information at this time that is confirmed by reliable sources. We have information from one single source," Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said.

Nowhere in the phone call that was routed to California law enforcement officials and the FBI, Boeri said, were the words nuclear material or dirty bomb used.

According to the report, four to six illegal Iraqi and Chinese aliens were headed to Boston with some sort of material. It was not clear to those trying to sort out the call what type of material they were talking about.

"Public safety is our first priority. When it comes to public safety we have always erred on the side of caution," Menino said.Menino said that he urged public agencies to remain on standby, but encouraged residents to go about their business.

The FBI said they receive these types of calls often and take precautionary steps when they get them.

"Basically, what you have here is information that we often get. It's uncorroborated at this time," said FBI Spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz in a statement. "It's been passed on to our law enforcement partners and we're working it aggressively."

Gov. Mitt Romney, who traveled to Washington D.C. for President George W. Bush's inauguration, will return to the state Wednesday night.

The terror threat level has not been raised.

The investigation prompted Gov. Mitt Romney, who was in Washington to attend Thursday's presidential inauguration, to decided to return to Boston later Wednesday evening.

his spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom said. The governor planned to hold a news conference in Washington Wednesday night to discuss the matter before returning home.

Among the law enforcement agencies alerted was the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, where Deputy Chief Paul MacMillan told the AP that an "alert bulletin" was issued to its officers, as well as subway, train, bus and station workers to be on the lookout for the individuals

   I'm from Massachusetts originally (25 miles north of Boston) and now live in NewHampshire 50 miles north of Boston and 5 miles away from the Seabrook Nuclear power plant.

    There was a recently issued a possible threat of a Canadian Airliner being hyjacked and crashed into Seabrook, New Hampshires Nuclear reactor and now a threat of a possible dirty bomb going to Boston.

    I don't understand why our country does not see the threat on our borders. Million of people cross the Mexican border yearly and we do...Nothing! We will continue to do Nothing until the next successful terrorist attack occurs on American soil. Until we are attacked nothing will change. Bill O'Reilly (of Fox News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor) has been hammering politicans on the border issue since September 11th and though his audience consists of millions of viewers his warnings have fallen on deaf ears.

     Our country's blindness to the border issue and the Islamic fundamentalists which seek our destruction is mind boggling. How fast we have forgotten the horror America felt the morning of September 11th. We have almost forgotten the Horror we all felt when the second plane crashed into the Trade Center and we became aware that America was under attack, that this was no accident. I remember when the second plane hit I immediately put a video tape in the vcr and recorded Fox news for the next 24 hours. To watch those tapes brings back the memories crystal clear. Hearing the reporters break the news that a plane crashed into the
Pentagon, and hearing reports of another plane which was missing which later crashed in A field in Pennslyvannia. Does this bring back the memories and the feeling of not knowing the out come. Remember wondering if there was another wave of attacks to follow? I remember all to well.

   As a student of prophecy I know that "somehow" Europe becomes more and more prominant in the form of the Revived Roman Empire which Antichrist will use to gain world power. Well I can foresee America weeping and wailing and gnashing her teeth if a few big cities were to have a nuclear attack on them.

    I would be surprized if America is not attacked. I'll be amazed. What would america do if 3 or 4 cities were attacked with nuclear weapons? If Boston, New York, Chicago, and San Diego were attacked would you expect people in Philidelphia to fearlessly go to work the following day. What if every week a different city were attacked? How stong would America be then? I can see the possibility of the unthinkable happening to the U.S. If I think of these things, don't you think terrorists think of these things? They were smart enough and patient enough to learn to fly jets so they could crash them.

     I truely believe this is why we do nothing about the securing our borders. I believe it must be our destiny as a nation. I hate the thought of it but deep down it makes sense to me. I wish it weren't so. I wish Bush would put the National guard on the border but until we are attacked AGAIN, nothing will change. Al Qeida also knows this and they won't be content with a single attack because afterwards we will take action. They would be smart to sit back and get as many plans into action before attacking. They could try to hold us hostage. Bomb a city a week until all americans are removed from Arab soil.

    I don't do the "Doom and Gloom" posts often but this one is "close to home!"

    I'm just venting because I believe our destiny is sealed and nothing anybody desires will change God's plans. I don't know whats going to happen in our future as a nation but I can read the "Writing On the Wall" and what I read is "not pleasant". I can't say "not good" because if its God's will then who am I to challenge his will. we were warned ahead of time of the events that must take place. I may not like them but understand there purpose.

 While watching a Canadian talk show, I heard some moronic fool say that the American response to 911 was overkill!!! This guy must have been wearing a huge pair of shiny red clown shoes! It's just another longwinded intellect trying to minimize the terrorist threat in order to slam the U.S. strike on Iraq. These are the same people who demand that the U.S. and allies supply the world with "everything they know"
I'm sorry folks, but the facts surrounding the decision to attack Iraq must have been overwhelmingly powerful for the U.S. to actually decide they had to go in and do this, especially in light of the fact that they knew full well that they would be mercilessly attacked by the world community and even their own people.
 The presentation that Powell gave to the U.N was just fluff. The actual intelligence could not, and should not ever see the light of day. Sources must be protected and nourished at all costs, without them we would all be burnt meat.

 A reporter said that the Church attendance had gone back down to it's pre 911 numbers and wondered why. God's people attend Church in good and bad times, the puffed up numbers following the early days of 911 were wannabe's who only go to God when they are scared or in need.

 Great post Paulie!
