Two Israelis Arrested in east Tennessee Transporting Suspicious Materials

[who knows what evil?]

My apologies in advance on this story; I just happened to catch this on several different newscasts a few minutes ago, and I am going by memory as best I can. Unicoi County (Tennessee) sheriffs arrested two Israeli men after a high-speed chase down mountain roads in this east Tennessee locale. While the sheriff was in pursuit, local witnesses noticed that materials were being thrown from the truck as it sped by, well over the posted speed limits. These witnesses were able to locate some of these items; one of which included a jug whose contents became "unusually hot" after the ingredients inside were shaken together. (Goes into the "Hey, y'all...watch this" category, WKWE.) Upon arrest, the police noted that the cab of the truck contained a "Learn How to Fly" brochure, along with passports and Florida licenses that "just didn't seem to add up". The Israelis claimed they were "just in the process of moving some furniture up to Boston". The police also stated that these two Israelis are "not being cooperative in any way." The FBI is investigating the nature of the substance in the jug that was recovered, which has been classified as an "inflammable fuel."

My questions:

1. What ELSE was in this (big yellow) 25-foot Ryder truck?
2. If they were travelling from Florida to Boston, what were they doing on a two-lane back road in the mountains of east Tennessee, several hundred miles WEST of Interstate 95; the most direct route from Florida to Boston?
3. What is the volatile substance in the jug, and why did they wish to avoid getting caught with it? (Why else would they pitch it?)
4. Why are they interested in "Learning How to Fly?"
5. Were they REALLY going to Boston, or were they MORE interested in the nearby Nuclear Fuel Services plant, or, G-d forbid, the huge Eastman Chemical Plant, about thirty miles further up the road?

It will be interesting to see if the national media picks up on this.

I guess you did not see the movie.

Sorry, I forgot to add ARKANSAS. Sorry - I know y'all are southern too, we just disowned you after Bubba.

I was fishing at Bull Shoals in AR, and talking with an Ol Boy who had lived in Mountain Home most of his life. To hear him talk of Clinton was like listening to a Priest talk of Satan. It was then I forgave the Natural State for eight years of the 'Toon.

For those who havent been to Northern Arkansas, give it a try, its one of the most beautiful spots in the country..

After 9/11 Fox and CNN both ran the stories for a couple of days about more than 300 Israelis detained.

Yep, must be a conspiracy. Certainly it couldn't be that perhaps, just perhaps, all those Israelis detained(though I'd like to see a source before accepting that this actually happened) simply had their alibi's corraborated and really did have zero to do with 9/11.

Patiently awaiting for the next shoe to drop, when the Masons and the Bildeburgers connections will be revealed. Amazing that the term Neocon has yet to be invoked...

Any other sources or links to this event?

Anyone.....

From what I read a few months ago, don't ask me where, I read too many magazines, sites and papers, there are militant Israelis who want destroy the buildings on the temple site, and lay the third temple. They've tried to bring about the calf and such they need for the ceremony through genetic manipulation and engineering. They apparently want to speed up events through human intervention, and the Israeli government is keeping them in check. I guess even Israel has its share of loons.

It might be very convenient for them if they staged various terrorist attacks, polarized Americans against the Arab states, and brought our power to bear alongside that of Israel in an escalated conflict.

Or, they were detained because they were the Palestinian variety of Israeli.

Did you catch this story on the news this evening?

Saw it in the online edition of the local rags. Been off line all day. REading thread.

[Diddle E. Squat]

You're right, I didn't, and thus may have drawn an incorrect conclusion as to the meaning of your post. Seems to be a lot of rushing to old stereotypes, both accusatory and defensive, so sorry if I was wrong in thinking that you were implying that they simply may have made a wrong turn.

I'll back off the sarcasm and just wait to see how this all plays out.

Hmmmmmmmm..........Did they look like this?

IIRC, a fairly extensive network of methamphetamine manufacturers/shippers was uncovered here in the US sometime in the past couple of years...staffed by Israelis.

Not out of the question...Tennessee has more meth labs than ANY other state. We're NUMBER ONE, baby! Still...these guys had to be first-grade idiots coming down a narrow, winding mountain road in a Ryder truck. I'd bet a couple of the locals got a good look at them (you have to take it SLOW on this particular road, or it's tippy-truck), and dropped a dime on the authorities.

Uh, congratulations, I guess.
I don't know the current situation, but my old home state of Oklahoma
was trying for number #1 a few years ago. Maybe one of my old friends
(in the OSBI, Okla. State Bureau of Invest.) has been cracking down on these jokers.

This road roughly parallels Interstate 26. NO ONE drives the old road anymore...These guys were TRYING to avoid detection...

Looks to me as if they'd have been less conspicuous on the interstate. Doesn't make sense.

[commish]

if true this will get the whole "israel did 9/11" thing going again

Took em 50 posts to show up ... Who had 50 in the pool?
