I gotta tell ya….. I am sooooooo sick of this shit. We’re fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them here. Don’t vote for Democrats because they are soft on terror. Vote for Republicans because they are the ones keeping us safe here at home. Oh reaallllllllly……than where is this shit coming from? And if it’s not a real threat, which it appears it’s not……then why are they making cities and the NFL and colleges have to spend $$$$ to add extra security and why they scaring the bejeeesus out of people who might attend games? Are we going to hear more and more of these threats that they think really aren’t threats between now and November 7th? Afterall, they are the party of fear. Be afraid, be very afraid…… and vote for a Republican! UGH!!!!!
WASHINGTON - A Web site is claiming that seven NFL football stadiums will be hit with radiological dirty bombs this weekend, but the government on Wednesday expressed doubts about the threat.
The warning, posted Oct. 12, was part of an ongoing Internet conversation titled “New Attack on America Be Afraid.” It mentioned NFL stadiums in New York, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland and Cleveland, where games are scheduled for this weekend.
The Homeland Security Department alerted authorities and stadium owners in those cities, as well as the NFL, of the Web message but said the threat was being viewed “with strong skepticism.” Officials at the NCAA, which oversees college athletics, said they too had been notified.
Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said there was no intelligence that indicated such an attack was imminent, and he said the alert was “out of an abundance of caution.”
“The department strongly encourages the public to continue to go about their plans, including attending events that involve large public gatherings such as football games,” Knocke said.
The FBI also expressed doubt about the threat.
