As reported by L. White, 10/22/01:

Today I received a phone call from my sister who lives in New Castle, PA. Her husband works at the federal building in Pittsburgh. He called her this morning (10/22/01) and told her that a coworker, Bob, had informed them of an incident at a Target store owned or managed by a friend of his somewhere in PA.

On Friday (10/19/01), a man of Middle Eastern appearance was purchasing items and was a dollar short. The woman customer behind him gave him a dollar. When she was in the parking lot, the man came up behind her and thanked her for helping him out. For doing that he wanted to "give her a tip." He told her to NOT go to Washington, D.C. or to Boston. The store videotapes were viewed and supposedly the man is one of the 22 terrorists we've seen pictured.
