Letters sent to nine newspapers today saying “Goldman Sachs. Hundreds will die. We are inside. You cannot stop us,” are being investigated by the FBI. The Bureau does not yet know who sent the notes, which were signed “A.Q.U.S.A.,” and handwritten in red ink on loose leaf paper. While the bank has a range of security measures to deal with all threats and is “monitoring the situation closely,” Goldman spokesman Lucas Van Praag said that the threat lacks credibility.

not to detract from the potential seriousness of this news, but what kind of person/group sends their threats to papers in corpus christi, boise, and skips on the wsj/nyt/lat or other large papers?
probably some disgruntled schmuck selling equities in dallas

This is a stupid joke. If Muslims were going to hit GS or whatever, they certainly wouldn't send out notes beforehand. Muslims send them out AFTER they blow things up.

1:58 - Well then it must be Polish Muslim extremists.
