August 23, 2004 -- EXCLUSIVE

A number of extremists with ties to the 1970s radical Weather Underground have recently been released from prison and are in New York preparing to wreak havoc during the Republican National Convention, The Post has learned.

A top-level source with extensive knowledge of police plans wouldn't disclose the names of the aging rabble-rousers but said a handful of them are already here and will play a behind-the-scenes role in attempting to disrupt the GOP gala.

"These people are trained in kidnapping techniques, bombmaking and building improvised munitions," the source said. "They've very bad people."

"They're not likely to take direct action," the source continued, "but they'll be orchestrating operations."

3. That's the best laugh I've had all morning
Apparently the other Murdoch rag, Fox News, is saying the same thing. God, these people are pathetic. They're just trying to keep "middle America" at home. "Don't bring your kids. There's going to be bombs!"

Shameful.
