Terror Dry Run at Tinker AFB?
Via Wizbang Carnival of the Trackbacks:
THE TOMO REPORT: SHOULDER-FIRED MISSLE INCIDENT AT OKC AIRFORCE BASE!
On 14 Jul 05, three individuals were observed outside of the perimeter of Tinker AFB, OK. They were looking through binoculars, taking pictures and one appeared to be holding a large weapon at chest level. The weapon appeared to be aimed towards a low flying aircraft. The three individuals were described as being of Middle Eastern decent and left the area when approached. The weapon was later identified as a rocket launcher (MANPAD) and the low flying aircraft to be a B-1 Bomber. FBI in Oklahoma City and AFOSI determined the threat to be credible.
This is the first and only source I’ve seen for this. It’s frightening if true. Under the circumstances I can’t help but wonder about its authenticity, but it’s hard not to be concerned after seeing something like this.
Report of incident at Tinker AFB OK was reported by the BBC in the United Kingdom. I have also noticed that it was not reported by US news media. Have spoken to personnel at Tinker AFB and was told report was correct and base personel were told to use hieghten awareness on base. Conclusion , threat is real, danger of attacks credible.
