I wouldn't be surprised.
I am sure they are also trying for attacks on the US, as the FBI recently warned about that as well.
To: FairOpinion
"The US warning has been circulated among law enforcement agencies and fuel transport agencies. Although a preamble states that “no other intelligence exists to corroborate this specific threat”, the intelligence report is highly specific. It says: “Al-Qaeda leaders plan to employ various types of fuel trucks as vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED) in an effort to cause mass casualties in the US (and London), prior to September 19. Attacks are planned specifically for New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. It is unclear whether the attacks will occur simultaneously or be spread over a period of time. The stated goal is the collapse of the US economy.”

The little local newspaper up here in Lafollette, TN just ran a story last week about a truck driver from here who turned up missing. It didn't state whether or not he drove a fuel truck.
This is a little weekly newspaper, without a web site. So I'll try to get more info and post when I can.
Wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on these types of stories. It wouldn't surprise me if these cowards didn't try to pull something like this.

Maybe the DOT should mandate 12 gauge shotguns as required equipment on tanker trucks.

Will Mother "Crocodile Tears" Cindy Sheehan be driving one of the fuel trucks?

If they blow up my favorite service station I might have to start getting annoyed.

Troublesome prospect.
Tunnels will be particularly vulnerable, could kill everyone inside.

Buy your gas early in morning before there's a crowd at the gas station.
