Old info used to crank up The Fear.

As you will have seen there has been a terrorist alert in New York with banks and the NYSE having their security tightened.

This follows on from a raid in Pakistan where computer information was found.

Now it appears that this information causing the alert is 3 years old.

Could this be the boy who cried terrorist?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    More like the chimp who cried ''I'm going to lose the next election- do something!''...

    lol

    To be fair, if I were a terrorist, I'd leave my laptop lying around with fake information on to be found. That'd work well wouldn't it?

    Thanks.

    I heard on C4 news yesterday that the US had also known where this man was for a while too. Would have thought that such a "high profile" terrorist would have been apprehended before now...?

    Well whats interesting about it is the man is African and apparently there arent many Africans living in the City where he lived. I heard one source on Radio Four saying that even if he wasnt a wanted terrorist he'd stand out like a sore thumb.
