Terror Alert Raised Amid Threats Against Boston, NY, DC and East Coast Beaches







One wonders if one of these times the boy who cried wolf will actually be bitten?



From ABC News:



An FBI bulletin obtained by ABCNEWS points to two recent e-mails intercepted by U.S. intelligence. One message, according to the bulletin, warns of "a possible devastating attack in the next 48 hours and urged all Muslims to leave all cities, especially Boston, New York and the commercial coastline."



However, one government official said intelligence analysts have serious doubts about the credibility of the source of those messages.



A separate message targets Washington and again points to possible attacks against New York and the nation's beaches.



The nation's terror-alert status was yellow — the third level, signifying "elevated." Orange is the fourth level, and red is the fifth and highest level.

Trouble in Orthodoxy



From Telegraph | News | Greek bishop is accused of hiring hit-man to kill Patriarch:



A Greek Orthodox bishop is to be charged under anti-terrorism laws in Athens for allegedly plotting to murder the head of the ancient Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

Bishop Timotheos of Vostra is accused of offering to pay a hit-man $500,000 (£354,000) to have his clerical rival, Patriarch Irenaios, killed.



According to Irenaios's lawyer, Timotheos offered the money to a Palestinian radical, Yusaf Naim al-Mufti. He was said to be angry that he had lost out to Irenaios in the 2001 election to become patriarch - one of the most sought-after roles within the Greek Orthodox Church.
