> Authorities in Massachusetts identified at least five Arab men as suspects in yesterday’s terror attacks launched from Logan International Airport, seizing in the central parking garage a car laden with Arabic-language flight training manuals, sources said last night.
> 
> Two of the men, whose passports were traced to the United Arab Emirates, were brothers, one of whom was a trained pilot, a source told the Herald, speaking on condition of anonymity.
> 
> At least two other suspects flew to Logan yesterday from Portland, Maine, where authorities believe they had traveled after crossing over from Canada recently.

Bord,

Thanks for all the information, but could you post this kind of thing in the WTC Attack thread, instead of creating new threads? That’s what it’s there for.

Thanks.

CBS Television reports are indicating that 2 or 3 terrorists have been arrested by FBI agents in the Westin Hotel in Boston. One FBI agent is believed to be wounded.

There is no available Internet link yet. I’m sure it won’t be long.

I’m watching a swat team at the providence train station,  
apparently the suspects took the train from boston to here.  
I can see the whole thing from my office window.
