Miami Vice

Chicago target of a Miami terror cell. CNN via Drudge:
Law enforcement sources told CNN that the arrests disrupted what may have been the early stages of a domestic terrorist plot to attack the Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois, the FBI building in Miami, and possibly other targets.....

The 110-story Sears Tower is the world's third-tallest building and the tallest in North America.

Law enforcement sources told CNN that some of the suspects are members of a radical African-American Muslim group and that at least one had taken "an al Qaeda oath." They had carried out surveillance on the Sears Tower and FBI building in Miami, the sources said.


Sounds like a new type of group, home-grown in the US. Law enforcement sources say they had intent, but no means, according to the Tribune. Glad they nipped it in the bud through surveillance.
