Terrorist Threat Found in Rhode Island

"R.I. police make arrest in Warwick bomb threat

Police in Rhode Island have arrested a 31-year-old Providence woman following an investigation into a handwritten bomb threat found in a bathroom at a factory. Detective David DeAngelis said Wednesday that Khampio Inlavongsa will be arraigned on charges of felony threatening to place a bomb in a public building. Police said Kenney Manufacturing was evacuated April 18 after a worker found a note in a woman’s bathroom stating that a bomb had been placed in the factory. No explosives were found. DeAngelis said investigators are looking into whether the threat is related to a dispute with factory management."

Don't you love living in a fear-based fascist state? That's also how guys end up in Gitmo.

R.I. lawmakers urged to end investment in Iran

Israel’s consul general in New England is urging Rhode Island lawmakers to take back any state pension fund investments in companies that do business with Iran. Consul General Shai Bazak spoke out in favor of the proposal before a panel of lawmakers Tuesday. The bill’s sponsor, state Representative Mia Ackerman, said the state needs to take a stand against Iran because of its work to develop nuclear weapons. The Cumberland Democrat said her bill would place additional political pressure on Iran ‘‘to make the right choices.’’ The proposal would also bar the state from hiring a contractor that does business with Iran."

Ackerman, huh?
