Washington (CNN) - Law enforcement officials are concerned about possible violence by anarchist extremists at the upcoming Republican and Democratic national conventions, according to an intelligence bulletin prepared by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security.

The bulletin, which was obtained by CNN, says that anarchists could try to use improvised explosive devices.

It also says that, as of March, the FBI had intelligence indicating individuals from New York "planned to travel to Tampa and attempt to close" all of the Tampa Bay-area bridges during the Republican National Convention next week.

According to the document, the FBI's information as of March showed that anarchist extremists proposed "engaging in potentially destructive criminal activities against critical infrastructure outside the security perimeter throughout the Tampa Bay region because they expected access to the main RNC venue to be tightly controlled."

2. Cool at least it will make the Conventions interesting

If the Dems had a lick of sense, the entire convention should last long enough to hold the vote for Obama, no speechs, no BS and the rest of the time the delegates could be building homes, feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, voter registration, union organizing, etc...

You know doing things that actually HELP people instead of sitting in a chair listening to meaningless speeches.

4. Doubtful. More like Police Provacateurs wish something would happen to justify

the purchase of tanks, guns, and fire extinguisher sized cans of pepperspray.

The RNC convention will be nothing but deadenders. I dont even think I've heard through the grapevine about anything planned for Tampa. I only know of one protest singer who will even be in the area next week in the event something should go down.
