| 2005-01-19 |
| key new info Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, in Washington for inaugural festivities, returned to the state after he heard the news.... None [of the suspects whose names have been released] had been listed on previous government "watch lists," the release said. Authorities did not believe that the individuals were in Boston, according to Romney's spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom. Unconfirmed news reports indicated that the four had entered the country from Mexico through a San Diego area border crossing. Jan Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the San Diego FBI office, declined to comment on the specifics, but did say that the agency receives "thousands" of threats every day; this one, she said, is being probed like all others. This threat received so much attention because it was leaked to the news media, said Caldwell. Federal and state officials stressed that the information was of "unknown reliability," and that law enforcement agencies were working together to assess any threat. |
