Yahoo! News - Group May Attack Media at Democrats Convention: FBI
BOSTON (Reuters) - The FBI said on Friday it was investigating "unconfirmed information" of a possible attack on media vehicles during the Democratic National Convention, which begins on Monday in Boston.

"The FBI has received unconfirmed information that a domestic group is planning to disrupt the Democratic National Convention by attacking media vehicles with explosives or incendiary devices," the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Boston field office said in a statement.

A spokeswoman for the Boston FBI told Reuters that the bureau had notified media organizations of the probe because they were potential targets.

I wonder if we will see more of this in the upcoming months. In our zeal to stop the threat from the outside, we have tended to ignore (at least in the media) the threat from within. Will the lunatic fringe in this country become desperate enough to do some serious damage?
