The FBI also included a list of potential indicators relating to planning a floating bomb or terrorist mine attacks: — Reports of launching or retrieving boats from unusually remote areas
— Reports involve aircraft dropping objects at night near harbors, ports or commercial airways
— Reports of abandoned small boats found adrift near sensitive sights
— Reports or incidents of unusual or unidentified floating objects near vessels or in harbors, ports or commercial waterways
— Evidence suggesting trends or patterns in terrorist-related hoaxes or threat reporting dealing with mines or floating IEDds
— Reports of suspicious requests for hydrographic charts associated with naval or commercial port facilities
— Reports of attempts to purchase or steal large magnets, large styrofoam blocks, large diameter PVC pipe, empty compressed gas cylinders or watertight storage drums. |
