FBI checking possible terrorist planning in city


With the Super Bowl coming, reports of suspicious activities are taken seriously.

Federal and local law enforcement officers are investigating two reports about Middle Eastern-looking people taking photos in downtown Jacksonville of high-rise buildings, the Main Street bridge and the Skyway.

Bob Cromwell, local FBI special agent in charge, said Monday he doesn't believe Jacksonville faces an imminent terrorist threat. But Cromwell said such tips are taken seriously because the city has its share of potential targets, including Super Bowl XXXIX in February.

At noon Saturday, an off-duty Jacksonville police officer reported seeing one of three people in a minivan with Georgia license plates videotaping images of the Skyway and tall buildings near North Hogan and West Forsyth streets. The people "looked Arabic," the report said, offering no other detail about them.

Cromwell said the FBI would follow up.

"People who are taking an inventory of the infrastructure of this city, I don't care if they look Mid-Eastern or Irish. If it looks suspicious, we're going to track it down," he said.

1. I saw an "Arabic looking" man with a camera once. Terrified me!

We were riding the small world boat in DisneyWorld at the time, and you aren't supposed to use flash bulbs in there. He may have been, might have been, could of been up to evil. One of those bulbs could have exploded and brought cascades of water down on all the dolls. After all, the boat path is low under ground and Orlando once had a very high water table.

2. Wasnt he the guy

wearing the turban, having just poped out of a lamp?

The very intersting part it that they did so well that the guys completely got away...

So much for keeping us safe from possible terrorism

3. The terrorists names are

Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne.

4. Yeah and Bush will let them get away

and probably invade New Zealand instead.

5. they should know...911 hijackers stayed on local airbases.... ask the

govt about those facts

6. So why don't they introduce a law to prohibing picture taking - that's

the kind of logic they follow?

This is what is called prepping and staging to interrupt an election.

They don't want anyone to feel comfortable in their own country ever again.

And all MIDDLE EASTERN men are suspiciously dangerous. And you know you can tell they're MIDDLE EASTERN just by looking at them.

7. What could "terrorists" do that the "cains" haven't done already.

It's like God asking, "Can you hear me now?"
