This story brings to mind the anthrax attacks that took place shortly after 9/11, killing five people and threatening several media members and two US Senators. This threat comes just one day after the Wal-Mart bombing in Maine. Have the muhajideen given up on the large scale attacks in favor of smaller attacks on easier targets? Recent failures in Toronto , Miami , Italy and Germany just within the last year leave me wondering if they're changing their game plan.
Breitbart: Authorities briefly closed the Lincoln Memorial on Monday after finding suspicious bottles in a restroom and a note reading "Do you know what anthrax is?" and "Do you know what a bomb is?"
Breitbart: Authorities briefly closed the Lincoln Memorial on Monday after finding suspicious bottles in a restroom and a note reading "Do you know what anthrax is?" and "Do you know what a bomb is?"
Authorities found a bottle appearing to contain a liquid in a basement ladies' rest room, along with the note.
None of the objects was found to be a threat, said Wayne Benson, a batallion chief with the District of Columbia fire department.
The memorial was reopened less than three hours later, shortly after 3 p.m.
No injuries were reported.
Firefighters, U.S. Park Police and the FBI investigated after authorities found a Gatorade bottle and a travelers' coffee mug in the rest room, Benson said. Several pieces of paper inside a plastic case also were found.
During the closure, hazardous materials crews in protective suits were seen working at the memorial.
