Right before Christmas Eve some Puerto Rican (three according to some accounts) activists in NYC have been approached by agents of the Terrorist task Force in the New York City area. Some have been served with subpoenas to appear before a grand Jury in Manhattan on January 11th 2008. This linking of the Puerto Rican independence movement with terrorism is not a new one but it is a troubling one. Many feel that the subpoenas are an intimidation tactic aimed at scaring activists.

I find it curious that this seems to be more of a story in N.Y. than in P.R. since none of the P.R. papers are even mentioning it.
