This place is three blocks from my business. It's been interesting observing various things happening over the weekend there. Mechanical ladder lifts to the roof, high security bus parked in a drive lane in the parking lot, some other intriguing vehicles strategically placed in the street behind, sign down, suddenly their portion of the building is being re-painted…..

Subject: [californiadisasters] Al Qaeda-Linked Website Threatens Monrovia Co.
AeroVironment executives step up security after warning.
July 2, 2011
Federal authorities have warned corporate executives at a Monrovia-based builder of small drone aircraft used in Afghanistan that they are among about 60 people targeted on an Al Qaeda-connected website.
In the wake of the warning, AeroVironment and authorities in Monrovia have stepped up security at the company's corporate headquarters on West Huntington Drive.Homeland security sources familiar with the threat told The Times that people participating in a jihadist forum on the website named past and present members of U.S. military leadership and U.S. political figures as well as corporate executives. Some photos were included.
The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case was ongoing, said the website did not include any specific plan of attack. Officials believe the threats were generated in response to a call to target Americans earlier this month by Adam Gadahn, a prominent member of Al Qaeda who grew up in Southern California.
"The briefing we received from the Monrovia police is there is a threat and we are taking that threat seriously and consider it credible," said Scott Ochoa, Monrovia's city manager. "We are working with AeroVironment and Homeland Security to enhance security at the facility and surrounding area."
