Another Day, Another Terror Plot
The Daily News wants you to know that FEAR is BACK, exclusively reporting that the FBI has uncovered a serious terrorist plot to bomb the Holland Tunnel "in hopes of causing a torrent of water to deluge lower Manhattan." (And disrupt all that progress down at the WTC? Terrible.) So, how is this news? When doesn't someone want to blow us up?
Anyhow: the plot was in its early stages; officials have arrested one suspect in Lebanon and are "scrambling" to find others. NBC piggybacks:
According to a counter-terrorism official with knowledge of the plot, the plotters never cased the tunnels, never had any bomb-making materials to pull off the job, and were not even located in the U.S, but rather overseas.
That's calming, but let's all agree to keep freaking out, OK? You know, just to make a few tourists shit their fannypacks.
