October 1, 2001 The FBI may have thwarted an attempted terrorist attack on the Sears Tower.
According to ABCNEWS, the FBI and federal agents made the discovery after arresting five people across the Midwest last week. One of the suspects was arrested in the Chicago area, three in Detroit, and a fifth person in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The FBI found materials on the suspects that indicate they may have been planning a truck bombing on the Sears Tower. Four of the five people arrested had fraudulent licenses to drive trucks carrying hazardous materials, agents discovered. The FBI and other federal agents also seized computer disks and drawings related to the Sears Tower, according to ABCNEWS.
The Sears Tower is the tallest building in the country.
Does anyone know what happened to the 'Arab' who was discovered out in the middle of the US with stolen cars?
DANG...what a great job the FBI is doing...I am so proud of them.
Thanks for that post.

Wasn't this the building that the guards observed several men taking pictures of and drawing pictures of too? They approached them and asked them to stop, leave, etc. but never asked to see ID.
I am recalling it was a few months back?
