LAS VEGAS (June 21) - The FBI said Thursday it is investigating a Nevada
man's claim that he picked up a conversation in Arabic on his cell phone
during which someone said there would be a ''hit'' on the ''day of
freedom.''

''We've initiated a full-scale investigation to determine if this
constitutes a threat, and if so, what kind of threat,'' said FBI Special
Agent Daron Borst in Las Vegas. 

Borst said agents have interviewed the man who reported the
conversation, Michael Hamdan, and planned to question him again Friday. 

Hamdan said he was trying to call his wife on his cell phone Saturday
when he heard Arabic voices.  Hamdan, 54, said he's a naturalized U.S. 
citizen who was born in Lebanon and speaks Arabic. 

''They said in Arabic, not even a word of English, 'We are in the city
of corruption, the city of prostitution, the city of gambling, the city
of unbelievers,''' Hamdan told The Associated Press late Thursday. 
'''We are going to hit them on the day of freedom.'''

Hamdan said the call lasted about 90 seconds before the line went dead. 
He said he believes the men were talking about July Fourth. 

''I was frozen, absolutely cold,'' Hamdan said.  ''I was sweating.  I
couldn't believe what I heard.''

Hamdan said he reported what he heard to the FBI early Sunday morning. 

Hamdan, who is married and has two children, described himself as a
semiretired businessman.  He said he moved to the United States in 1976.
