Are the mooselimbs routing out the mole?
All the authorities are saying is that the truck they were looking for and stopped was EMPTY.
They didn’t say whether the driver and passenger are still in custody or whether any explosive or radioactive traces were found.
Also nearby,
Strange things going on in CT:

In another incident, around 6:21 p.m. Friday, a Connecticut state trooper shot and killed a motorist after what police said was a routine traffic stop on I-84 near Danbury, the Courant reported. Danbury is about 45 miles away from Branford.
The driver opened fire on the officer, who returned fire and shot the motorist multiple times. The trooper was uninjured, the Courant said.
The two passengers fled.
The highway was closed in both directions Friday night.
On Wednesday, two men were found in a Mercedes with what appeared to be a pipe bomb, ammunition, gas masks and other materials. Authorities say it’s unclear whether they planned to use the explosives because they are not talking to investigators. Both were being held on $500,000 bond.
Meanwhile, the white Mac track filled with explosives got thru...
I’d question the source and immediately think disinformation
Times are hard, semi trucks have to carry empty cargoes.
Empty? That’s just what the terrorists would like us to believe! /s
Trial run...decoys?
I perdict something’s going to happen!

BRANFORD —
SNIPPET: “”No explosive. No danger to the public,” said William Reiner, a spokesman for the FBI in New Haven, at 8:45 p.m. Friday.
The drama apparently began as a result of a dispute between the truck driver and his boss, during which some threatening words were allegedly uttered. The driver’s boss contacted police, who began looking for the truck.”
But, but, Obama’s people recently said that we can absorb another attack. So this shouldn’t be a problem.
1) Harmless Empty truck found
2) CT Trooper shoots motorist multiple times
3) Two men in car someplace with suspicious object
10-4, got it.
Ok, in the article in post no. 1; I posted snippets of three unrelated incidents.
Item 1 has been covered — truck was empty, no explosives, no bomb and apparently an employee/employer incident and/or a non-terrorism incident.
Item 2 was a trooper shooting incident regarding a stolen vehicle/trooper being shot at. Here’s the update:

SNIPPET: “DANBURY — Danbury police confirmed that a state trooper shot and killed a motorist Friday night after a traffic stop on the eastbound side of Interstate 84 near exit 5.
Police said the motorist fired first at the trooper, who returned fire and killed the driver.
State troopers assisted Danbury Police in a stolen vehicle pursuit, which turned into a foot pursuit state police spokesman Kelly Grant said.
“A life-threatening situation ensued, resulting in a trooper discharging his weapon,” Grant said.
The driver’s body will be transferred to a medical examiner for autopsy, Grant said.
Police are not releasing the identity of the motorist at this time, Grant said, and are not releasing information on whether there were other passengers.”
Item no. 3 in post no. 1 is of course unrelated the other two items (incidents).
There is very little additional information for item no. 3 and essentially this is about all the info there is online:
