Obviously, we need to pay far more attention to those shifty ballerinas.
That's profiling, and that's wrong!

I'm sure those Ballerinas represent a small radical minority. Afterall, ballet is a peaceful dance.

I read more on this and the police are saying it could be in connection with a Chinese national who was caught with similar paraphernalia in the recent past and also detonated a bomb in '02 injuring a tenant, but he's been in jail in Rhode Island since January. The van was parked a few blocks from his home that his wife recently sold.

Oyster -
So who owns the van? They can trace the registration by the VIN, after all...
Or could it just be politically incorrect to say?

The article I saw (sorry too lazy to find a link) said that the police believed, but could not prove that the van was the work of a guy they had in custody for a different attempted bombing.
The target (if the cops are right) was the dudes Ex-wife who lived on the block where the van was found. The guy has been in custody on the other charge since shortly after the van was first parked there.

If the van belongs to the guy who was in custody... that's one thing, and I'd imagine they'd come out with a definite yes/no on it.
But to kind of fuzz the issue like this - ah, hell. I'm suspicious any more of stuff like this.

JLawson: I agree. The four media reports I read did mention that the tags were registered to another car, so we know the police started tracing right away. I'd imagine they knew who the car was registered to, but why the media reports don't say so is beyond me. Every report says the car had been there for over a month, but this guy has been in jail since January - that's 6 months. This is what irks me about much of the media. No follow up, selective information reported, and on to the next speculative story they go.
