VA hospitals may be target, advisory warns

<snip>
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI and Department of Homeland Security are advising state and local agencies to be aware that terrorists could target Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals.

In their weekly bulletin to law enforcement, the two agencies note that there have been reports of suspicious activity concerning U.S. military medical facilities, including ones in 2004 of possible reconnaissance activities in Bethesda, Maryland, and Aurora, Colorado.

The bulletin says, "Although investigations of these incidents have revealed no links to terrorist activity, law enforcement and security personnel should be alert to indicators of similar surveillance activities of VA hospitals and other facilities."

In conclusion, the bulletin says, "The DHS and FBI stress they are currently unaware of any credible information indicating a specific terrorist threat to VA hospitals in the United States."

1. My thoughts exactly

How about this Administration come up with some PLANS to fight terrorism instead of just scare the shit out of everybody.

2. Considering that the real terrorists are in the White House

and * has been gunning for Veteran's benefits for years, I would say that the VA Hospitals have something to worry about, too.
