On a police blotter in `Hartford, CT`, it says that `police` were called to the rail yards when a worker spotted several strangers lurking around a train. This train included `tank cars` carrying `hazardous materials`.

Meanwhile, security officials at a `chemical plant` in `Convent, LA`, that produces `chlorine` have noted the presence of intruders who appeared to be monitoring the loading of `rail cars`. The intruders ran away when they were approached.

According to a local newspaper, a zoo in `Louisiana` reports that several animals have died of apparent poisoning from chlorine gas. Zoo officials tell the press that a fire started in a shed where a large jug of chlorine had been placed. Zoo officials are perplexed because, although chlorine is used for cleaning out pens at the zoo, it is not ordinarily stored in the shed, which is used to store feed.

At the same time, a CIA source in Southeast Asia reports that several months ago he was present at a meeting of terrorists associated with Al Qaeda, at which the terrorists were discussing the long, unguarded rail lines and lightly monitored rail yards in the U.S. and speculating that it would be possible to use this vulnerability to stage an attack.
