MAIMI -- An advisory has been sent out to police departments across the state. It's a warning about three men who may be putting together a dangerous plan involving Miami.

A woman at a Georgia restaurant says she overheard three men talking about coming to Miami and she didn't like what she heard. So tonight police are on the lookout for those men.

One day after America remembers September 11th, an alert is issued to police departments across the state about three men.

A woman overheard them talking Thursday morning at a Shoney's restaurant in Calhoun, Georgia. The woman claims the men said, "They (Americans) mourned on 9/11 and they are going to mourn again on 9/13." The men also discussed "running 5 hours behind schedule." One of the men reportedly said, "We do not have enough to bring it down." The men then left the restaurant, and headed south on I-75.

Miami-Dade County officials say they are not taking any chances.

Steve Shiver, Miami-Dade County Manager says, "At this point in time we have no reason... ...to be aware of our surroundings."

We have comprised some information about these men and police are asking for your help.

The description of the first car:

A Nissan Maxima: cream color with gold trim and a Carmax tag on the front of the vehicle.

Now the second car:

A new Honda, black with Illinois plates.

Now for the suspects' descriptions;

First: A man of possible Middle Eastern descent, 5'10'', 200 pounds, 20-30 years old, black hair, brown eyes, set wide apart, thick beard that extends past his collar.

Second man: again, possible Mideastern descent, 5'7'', 130 pounds, black hair that comes down to his collar.

The third and final man, also of possible Mideastern descent, 5'7'' 130 pounds, shiny black hair.

Now we want to stress tonight, as we speak, the nation is still at an orange alert. (the second highest) This may be nothing, but they just want to talk to these men to make sure.

If you have any information you are urged to call Miami-dade CrimeStoppers at (305) 471-TIPS or in Broward call (954) 493-TIPS.

Well it's possible but I bet this will be nothing. If they were really going to do something big they'd probably not be talking about it in front of some woman in a restaurant.

The key to success of 9-11 was that nobody ever caught wind of it till it happened. There's no surprise element anymore, so I don't think the likelyhood of anything happening for a while is very great.

That's just my opinion though, if I'm wrong I guess we'll surely find out.

lol my thoughts exactly...why would they speak english instead of arabic if they *hate* the US? Makes no sense. I think its just some crazy woman being paranoid and pulling some publicity stunt.

I just thought I'd bring up a few things to consider:

If you'll recall the events before 9-11 last year, two of the suspected terrorists were in a bar a night or two before 9-11 bragging about an attack. If someone is insane enough to take the lives of other innocent human beings, do you think they have enough discretion to keep something a secret before it happens?

Things were different before 9/11 because most people were not looking for things to happen. It seems to me that with the heightened awareness people have now, the terrorists would realize that and not talk openly about it if they were planning something.

Hard to believe but anything is possible. Why didn't she rush out and get the numbers off of the plates? If I ever heard anyone saying anything like, I would be on the phone and following these guys and getting all the info I could. It does look like a publicity stunt and I hope thats all it is.

I thought these guys were against democracy. I would think they would like Florida.
Say what you want about them, but they do have good taste in Cars. Although gold trim is so FOB.

if by FOB you mean Fresh Over the Border, then yes; otherwise, if you meant FOB as in Fresh Off the Boat, then no Here in LA I notice way more Mexican dudes in their vatomobies... cars with 12" rims all butterflied out with the gold trim around their fenders...

Hmm - cnn is mentioning some suspects now held in florida and a no-fly zone imposed somewhere. I wonder if it's related...?

This is a bizarre story so far, and the lack of information is proably what is driving it.

 

[Hammer]

That was quick work. I guess we'll find out if its legit or not.
