” That would make for a heck of a bomb delivery vehicle “
On one hand we have this 26’ truck, and on the other hand we’ve seen reports of 12 (or 14, or maybe even 26 - depending on how one reads the reports so far) backpacks seized by authorities...
Murky waters, here....

Queens ‘Qaeda’ raid amid ‘confession’By MURRAY WEISS and CHUCK BENNETT

In a second stunning terror sweep this week, seven associates of a suspected al Qaeda bomb-maker were taken into custody yesterday — as their cohort reportedly admitted to taking bomb training from al Qaeda and playing a key role in planning an attack here.
The FBI detained the seven confederates of Najibullah Zazi, 24 — whose recent, pre-Sept. 11 appearance in New York sparked raids Monday at every Queens home he visited — over the associates’ alleged role in a suspected bomb plot, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
The seven Queens residents had been under 24-hour surveillance since the earlier raids, and some of them already had their homes searched, sources said. There were no criminal charges as of late last night.
In the Monday raid, agents confiscated computers, cellphones and nine identical backpacks. The material is being tested for explosives residue, sources said.
Investigators believe the suspected plotters planned to fill the backpacks with homemade hydrogen-peroxide bombs, then detonate them in simultaneous strikes in the city.
Pick a tunnel, bridge or building in the greater NYC area.
Couple that with Madrid or London style backpack attacks.
Has Janet, (Napolitano, not Reno), made any statement?
Janet, took a good look at these guys. I doubt if they are white, veterans . NO, I'm sure there's nary a "redneck" militia type amongst them.
