Police in Sochi have launched an urgent search for a possible female suicide bomber who may have already made it past the ring of security set up for the Olympic Games.

Hotel employees in Sochi told ABC News that posters with pictures and descriptions of a 22-year-old woman from nearby Dagestan were distributed over the weekend by authorities and a similar flyer was also seen posted at Sochi's airport.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Olympic Committee reacted to the revelation by saying that the safety of Team USA is their "top priority."

"As is always the case, we are working with the U.S. Department of State, the local organizers and the relevant law enforcement agencies in an effort to ensure that our delegation and other Americans traveling to Sochi are safe," spokesperson Patrick Sandusky said.

1. Well, it's good to see the world has found a shiny new Bin Laden.

The terrorism news has been pretty droll of late, lacking a mascot and all.

3. It does read like a comic book

2. There must be some chatter going on...

re: terrorism possibilities. I saw the breaking news about the military staying close by in the event they have to pull Americans out of there.

It's been a long quiet spell. Nothing would surprise me. Sure gives a heads up to the performers. I hope all goes well and they are safe throughout the Olympics.

9. You know...

I have a problem with calling her a suicide bomber. Potential suicide bomber would be more appropriate.
