FBI Agents in London NOT Riding Tube - Terrorism Fears

[RamboLiberal]

In light of Ashcroft not traveling on airline planes from July 2001 on - thought I'd post this just in case.

Some U.S. law-enforcement officers based in London, NEWSWEEK has learned, have become extremely concerned about evidence regarding possible active Al Qaeda plots to attack targets in Britain. According to a U.S. government official, fears of terror attacks have prompted FBI agents based in the U.S. Embassy in London to avoid traveling on London's popular underground railway (or tube) system, which is used daily by millions of commuters. While embassy-based officers of the U.S. Secret Service, Immigration and Customs bureaus and the CIA still are believed to use the underground to go about their business, FBI agents have been known to turn up late to crosstown meetings because they insist on using taxis in London's traffic-choked business center.

2. Suddenly everything becomes clear

when the US was having an election the terrorist threats were against the US. Now we're next in line it's suddenly discovered that the terrorist threats were against the UK all along.
Who'd have thought it, eh?
