Terror alert in AZ

Tucson TV Station Broadcasts Arizona Fort Huachuca Terror Threat Report : Homeland Security National Terror Alert
This sounds really familiar. When I was working at MCAS Yuma they had a drill with a scenario that was almost exactly like this.

Why would they be a target...:confused:


Kept reading and answered my own question...

joint FBI-CIA analysis titled, “Arizona: Long Range Nexus for Islamic Extremists,” likely explores the history of Tucson’s rise to prominence among Muslim radicals but remains classified. Its existence was revealed in the bipartisan 9/11 commission’s final report released Thursday.

That leaves others to explore the reasons why Tucson and Arizona became a destination for Islamic fundamentalists.

FBI spokeswoman Susan Herskovits would not talk specifically about the analysis but said Arizona offers numerous attractions that make it a destination for many Arabs, including legitimate scholars and law-abiding residents.

The University of Arizona recruited Middle Easterners for its science programs, and Arizona’s weather makes flight training schools popular.

The desert climate reminds Middle Easterners of home. And Tucson’s popularity spread through word of mouth, she said.

“Once people from another culture end up in a place like Tucson, other people hear about it and want to be there,” Herskovits said.

All that and the Fort is close to the border. Easy in, easy out. They would blend in well with the population too.
