"Threatening messages have been posted on the White House Facebook page amid heightened alerts surrounding a possible 9/11 terror threat."
There's been threatening messages of terrorism posted on facebook that foreshadowed another terrorist attack. They were taken down shortly after they were posted and police began to investigate and take actions based on the threats. Overseas, the US received intelligence that there could a possible car bombing. One message says that the terrorist attack will be on 11/9, switching the month and date of 9/11 to a later time. Security has been raised in many areas, such as records of terrorism across seas, possible locations of choice for bombing, airline security against anyone who is possibly a threat (and adding their names to terrorism database because of frequency of travel), and records of possible purchases of ingredients to create car bombs. They are keeping watch on New York and Washington D.C, which brought additional police officers, vehicle checkpoints, and subway bag checks.
The posts were:
1)" We'll come back U.S.A. One day only 11/9/2011"
2)"We'll come to u white house sooooooooooon"
3)"We'll come back 11/9/2011 to kill u all"
Looking at it from a more grammatical point of view, I feel that the threats are not real, because the u used in the threats were used in place of you, which seems more like a texting message than an actual threat. However, the validity of the messages could still be true, and the police are right to investigate. The security levels should only be up until the Monday evening rush hour.
