Air Marshals did NOT hear Alpizar say the word BOMB
Advertisements [?]
The Corporate Media claimed Alpizar said "bomb," but AMS officials NEVER made that claim. Instead the two air marshals apparently got a "sense that" he had a bomb. The power of the Corp Media to shape perceptions and create talking points is astounding.

James Bauer, the special agent in charge of federal air marshals in Miami gave this statement on Wednesday:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/terrorism/july-dec05/miami_12-7.html

JAMES BAUER: At approximately 2:10 this afternoon, American Airlines Flight 924 was boarding at Gate D.-42 -- it was in the boarding process. An individual later tentatively identified as Rigoberto Alpizar, age 44, was boarding that aircraft as well.

At some point, he uttered threatening words that included a sense that, in fact, that he had a bomb. There were federal air marshals on board the aircraft. They came out of their cover, confronted him, and he remained noncompliant with their instructions.

As he was attempting to evade them, his actions caused the FAM's to fire shots and, in fact, he is deceased.

The Miami-Dade Police Department responded to this event and in fact are conducting the shooting investigation.

The FBI also responded to this, and a crime was committed aboard an American carrier aircraft and they have jurisdiction in that matter, and to see whether or not there's a nexus to terrorism.
