A friend of mine's father takes a vanpool with this guy. His wife, today (Oct. 16th), was in Frederick at a grocery store (I think Giant) and there was an Arabian guy in front of her in line. He was $2 short to pay for his groceries so this woman gave him the money so he could purchase everything. When the woman went outside he was waiting for her. He thanked her again for her kindness and asked that she not go to Baltimore this weekend. She asked him why but he would not respond.

The woman then went to the FBI to tell them what happened. They showed her pictures of the top 20 men wanted in the U.S. for connection with Bin Laden and she identified the man that she talked to as one of them.

This is not a joke. I'm not sure what is going to happen but for pre-caution... PLEASE, noone go to Baltimore this weekend. Pass this to as many people as you know who might be travelling to Baltimore, MD this weekend.
