NewsCenter 5's David Boeri reported that sources told him that the credibility of the phone call is in question.

An uncorroborated report said that several illegal immigrants from the California/Mexico border were on their way to Boston via New York carrying some sort of explosive material. So far, no threat has been corroborated.


"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, stressing there was a lot of uncorroborated information being reported.

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 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. Wednesday.

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 nature of the threat that has been provided is an uncorroborated, unsubstantiated threat. The source is anonymous, but it is specific in that it mentions a location where individuals will be dropped off -- that location is New York, and it defines a location where threat might be directed, and the location is Boston," Romey said before he left Washington.

The terror threat level has not been raised.

I hope its just a prank but in reality a dirty bomb is not a nuclear explsion. Its just a explosive pack of tnt, c4 or something along those lines with nuclear material strapped on it. So when it explodes nuclear contaminents go everywhere and with the wind it has a possibility to spread a bit but nothing too serious.

Where is Jack Bauer when you need him

Right now the president is probably looking at estimates about the possible casualties. Just like in the movies.

The Mayor of Boston just spoke about it....

4 Chinese Nationalists

People are crazy these days.

And Jack Bauer is acting on his own and doesn't listen to anyone. Former Pres. Palmer is shooting a new commercial. LOL. 24 addiction is bad

Lou Dobbs (CNN) is not saying anything about it. I guess he's pissed because even the terrorists are outsourced to China these days

how much do you get per click for that sig......

Good one.

I charge flat rates for it. They pay for the spot not clicks.

kewl, whats your favourite food

They have to keep you living in fear so you will let them strip away your freedoms. Of course there is a dirty bomb in Boston.

any news?..are we fucked?

it's true, everyone of importance is in a bunker in framingham mass. I wasnt invited so instead of worrying about it and freaking out, im gonna grill up a fucking steak and watch some tv.

LOL and where did you learn that tidbit of bullshit?

lol, u have no idea what you are talking about

I got a dirty bomb myself, to be exploded in the bathroom in T Minus 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....

Obviously no one is going to say: "Sure guys, we have a dirty bomb in Boston set to explode tomorrow (Thursday's Inauguration parade)"

seems pretty serious to me

interesting.

"The official says the tip came from an unidentified individual and is similar to dozens received by law enforcement agencies each week.". Geez, so why the fuck there are 120 articles captured by Google News in the past hour alone?

thats fucked that their is even a possiblity of that happening, when it happens they'll pretend like they knew nothing about it again... DAMN THE MAN

Because other tips dont come with names.. what they have.. where they're going with it .. and what they're doing with it?

Exactly. I'm thinking this could develop to something huge by the end of the day.

Remember that the terrorists only have to get lucky once, we have to be right 100% of the time.

well I hope it doesn't turn out to be true or they stop the plot beforehand!

Thats messed up.

I live near the border in San Diego (Eastlake area south of Chula Vista)
and I can SEE the border from here... There are a shitload of officers walking the border right now and they are NOT border patrols.
Looks like they are looking for something. Apparantly someone was smuggled in via Tijuana or something.

Pic?

Good idea... let me see what I can do.... if my camera is here I'll take and post one.

LOL Live coverage on GFY. Who would imagine

Ok, I emailed it to the fbi

Anything new happen yet?

glad I am not in boston

They released the actual names and photos to the media

Gee and a blue state at that.

bin Laden recently got permission from an Egyptian? Cleric to detonate a nuclear weapon inside the US as justified retribution for what he believes are the millions of Muslin deaths world wide caused by Americans.

A little off topic but I thought I would add that, can't have you just hatin the Chinese.

Oh man, they should not say those stuff on TV. It might cause panic.

Basically, the principal type of dirty bomb, or Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD), combines a conventional explosive, such as dynamite, with radioactive material. In most instances, the conventional explosive itself would have more immediate lethality than the radioactive material. At the levels created by most probable sources, not enough radiation would be present in a dirty bomb to kill people or cause severe illness. For example, most radioactive material employed in hospitals for diagnosis or treatment of cancer is sufficiently benign that about 100,000 patients a day are released with this material in their bodies.

Now one report I saw in the last hour was since the tip was called in via a cellphone in Mexico, its possible its a smuggler that is pissed he didn't get paid and wants these guys caught. What worries me is its still four chinese and two Iraqis.
