In the early morning hours of this past September 11, an Arizona man logged
into our website, went to our electronic tips page, and reported what he had
just seen on the Internet. And we are so glad he did.

Turns out, he'd come across a plot by several high school students in a
central Texas town called Pflugerville to mark the 9/11 anniversary in a
deadly way-by setting off pipe bombs at the school, then attacking students
with high caliber firearms. The students bragged of their plan by posting
photographs of themselves and their pipe bombs on the web.

Our counterterrorism experts monitor our public tips page around the clock,
so they were on it immediately. Time was of the essence; we had to stop this
plot before the school day began in just a few short hours. They checked out
the student website, but a vital piece of information-the photographs of the
attackers-had already been removed. Time was running out.

The next step was to notify our local field office in San Antonio and the
Pflugerville Police Department of the threat. Then, at about 2 a.m., our
agents called the tipster to see if he could provide any additional
information.

It was at this point that he delivered in an even more remarkable and
important way.  The tipster had saved on his computer the only immediately
available photograph of one of the attack planners, which he quickly
e-mailed to us.

That photograph paid off. It enabled the Pflugerville Police Department, the
Pflugerville Independent School District, and our local field office to
identify the student in the photograph and arrest him and his
co-conspirators without incident before the school day started. Whew!

Lives were likely saved and a terrible tragedy prevented-all because one man
took the time, in the wee hours of the morning, to let us know about an
impending attack. For his efforts, he was recently presented with a special
commendation from the FBI Director. 

"This tipster is a hero, plain and simple," said the special agent who heads
the unit in our Counterterrorism Division that runs the web tip line. "We
receive about 25,000 tips and leads like his every month, and we take each
one seriously. You just never know when they might solve a case or save a
life." 

You can help, too. If you have any information about a crime or an act of
terrorism that has happened or may happen, please go straightaway to our tip
line and give us the facts. You, too, can play an important role in keeping
communities and our nation safe.
