Here's an interesting little story that just floated by on AP. ----- NEW YORK (AP) -- Two members of the Aryan Nation have been arrested in Nevada and accused of plotting a bacterial attack on the New York City subways, an FBI source said today. The source, who spoke in New York on condition of anonymity, provided no other details. The Aryan Nation is a white supremacist group. The FBI in Nevada said that two men were taken into custody in a luxury car outside a doctor's office in Henderson, Nev., near Las Vegas. FBI spokesman Aurelio Flores in Las Vegas said only the matter was ``serious.'' He said different teams from around the country are ``coming in to look at what we have.'' A news conference was set for late morning Las Vegas time. Flores said the FBI has secured the area where the car was found and had ``made everything safe.'' He said the agency was not looking for explosives. The New York source said the suspects allegedly planned to release a ``dangerous bacterial substance'' in the subways. In Washington, a federal law enforcement source said agents were investigating allegations that the two men arrested in Las Vegas possessed anthrax. The source stressed that the tests were not complete and that there have been unfounded instances in the past involving allegations of anthrax. Anthrax is an infectious disease that usually afflicts only animals, especially cattle and sheep. But Anthrax spores can be produced in a dry form suitable for weapons and can be fatal to humans even in microscopic amounts. New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was briefed on the case by FBI Director Louis Freeh and was told ``there is no reason for alarm,'' said mayoral spokeswoman Cristyne Lategano. She would not confirm what the alleged threat was. Giuliani, speaking generally about the threat of terrorism, said: ``Every part of America, every part of the world, is vulnerable to terrorism. ... There is no way to make an open society, a democracy, invulnerable to terrorism or to criminal acts. Short of closing down America and closing down the city of New York, it would be impossible to do that.'' The mayor added, ``It is impossible to have a police officer every place. That would be unrealistic, and it would change the nature of a free society. Short of that, I think New York City is doing everything it can do to try to reduce the risk.'' -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
