DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – An official UAE security source says a suspicious device discovered in an air cargo shipment in Dubai that was headed for the U.S. contained explosive materials.
The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said the “explosive device” was found Friday in a courier company’s regional hub and originated in a shipment from Yemen.
The source says there has been “close cooperation between several intelligence and security agencies around the world following the discovery of shipments … containing an explosive device originating in Yemen.”
The person says an investigation is under way.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 4:22pmWho was the stupid Democrat that said Al Qaida was no longer a threat? The greatest threat to America are democrats including that Mullah in the White House. Is this the October surprise? Wouldnt surprise me if Obammy’s terrorist buddies are helping him out by changing the focus from his failed policies and wack job Democratzi followers and their pending demise at the hands of a pissed off electorate. Makes great media theatre! Blood in the water, desperation in the air!
“DO NOT LOSE YOUR FOCUS!!!!!!

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 3:52pmC’mon people. I understand that we have to be skeptical about everything now a days, but thank God some of security program is working. I don’t think sharia law is coming that soon, it will wait until after the election results. Things would be too obvious even to the mind numb followers if it happened before the election. Starting to sound like the rest of you now.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 3:37pmThis an a blitzkrieg in managing the media to persuade voters to vote for the elusive Democrat. How convenient. At a time when most voters are getting their eyes opened to Obama’s national security failures, but now we have a barrage of media viewing UPS jets parked on the tarmac all as an attempt to make the American public think this administration is “really on top of national security”. Sorry, I ain’t buying it. I am sure they are loading Napolitano and Obama’s teleprompter right now with a long list of contrived accomplishments.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 5:38pmThis situation was predictable, no way is this bunch going to allow an election that they can’t win. Even their election fraud cronies are going to be hard pressed to come up with enough dead voters to counter this avalanche. So look for a lot more of the same until after the elections. All of the election tricks you are hearing about are real, they are throwing the kitchen sink at this. Commies have no conscious so I am concerned about a lot of innocent citizens that are about to pay a high price for their ambitions.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 3:33pmwonder if all the others found last night and today were the dry run for this latest “find” or if the UAE security is correct in saying there were explosives. too many “ifs” involved with these packages being found.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 5:44pmThe scary part of this is when it happens, it happens fast, all freedoms gone and even in a prison camp within hours. I have been weighing this situation for the past year. Not a good thought to deal with. The giveaway was when the politicians all ignored the people. That should have told you something.
