April 27, 2005 -- Firefighters found more than 200 vehicle airbags believed to be stolen in the back room of a Brooklyn supermarket, where newspaper clippings about Osama bin Laden and beheadings in Iraq covered the walls, authorities said.
The firefighters from Ladder Co. 123 conducting a routine inspection, discovered the air bags — which sell for about $750 to $1,000 each — at the Superior Food Market at 1503 St. John's Place in Crown Heights.
Firefighters notified cops, and the FBI-NYPD joint terrorist task force was called in to search the building.
Authorities, however, did not believe they had stumbled onto a terrorist cell, even though the room contained some materials that could be used to fashion pipe bombs, sources said.
Yep, you can see a story like this and scream at the page or the computer screen: "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? THERE ARE TERRORISTS FOUND IN NEW YORK WITH PRO-OSAMA MATERIALS, AND THERE IS NO THREAT? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"
