Off topic -- FBI Lists Truck Bomb Warning Signs March 28, 2002 FBI Lists Truck Bomb Warning Signs By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 7:25 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- The FBI listed warning signs Thursday that might indicate plans by terrorists to detonate a truck bomb, but it did not suggest any specific threats of truck bombs have been made in the United States. The warning was published on the FBI's Internet site and e-mailed to thousands of companies Thursday ``in an abundance of caution,'' FBI spokeswoman Debra Weireman said. Labeled ``for informational purposes only,'' the warning urged citizens to be alert for these signs, which it said might indicate plans for detonation of a truck bomb: --Theft of chemicals or explosives. --Theft of respirators or chemical-mixing devices. --Rental of storage space for chemicals. --Delivery of chemicals to storage spaces. --Theft of a van or truck capable of carrying more than one ton. --Chemical fires or toxic odors in apartments, hotel rooms or self-storage units. --Small explosions in wooded areas, which could be bomb tests. --Reports of hospital patients suffering losses of fingers or hands. --Chemical burns or severed hands that remain untreated. --Surveillance of potential targets. --Efforts to obtain blueprints of potential targets. The warning was published on the Web site of the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center, responsible for protecting the nation's most important computer networks and physical infrastructures, such as power plants or telephone towers. ``There's no indication that something might happen,'' said Weireman, the FBI spokeswoman. ``We have reached out to the community to be on the lookout.'' ^------ On the Net: National Infrastructure Protection Center: nipc.gov Copyright 2002 The Associated Press
