TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- A car loaded with propane tanks ran through the main gate at Travis Air Force Base in northern California on Wednesday night. Military personnel ran up to the burning car that exploded in flame after breaching the security gates. ... Law enforcement sources say the car carried propane tanks and the driver deliberately ignited the fire. He died inside the car, which drove off the road into a ditch. There are no reports of shots fired during the incident. The driver has been identified by law enforcement but not been named. ... Since he ignited himself, investigators are treating this as an act of terrorism. The FBI has joined the Air Force in the investigation.

The driver has been identified by law enforcement but not been named Certainly not a Christian, right-wing fundamentalist, then, or they'd name him immediately.
Let me guess. Is "Mohammed" in there somewhere?

they’re actually reporting on the story now - CBS News had on their overnight radio reports in CA. It’s a curious series of circumstances. My inference was they’re trying to get ahead of something they were trying to avoid. Otherwise it’s all I’ve heard in CA outside the internet about such happenings (?!?!)

When I heard this on the radio it was reported like, "nothing to see here, we wouldn't be reporting on this except the guy blew himself up so they have to consider it terrorism and we have to say something. Nothing to see here. Now back to breaking news on Stormy Daniels"

Effective blackout.
This ought to be a major news story and it’s been hours since it happened, yet this is the first I’ve heard of it.
I wonder why the extra effective blackout? What don’t they want us to know that is even more important than the usual omissions?

I thought that many installations have a barricade maze that makes a high speed pass nearly impossible to succeed.
Maybe it was one of the Podestas?

They need time to cleanse the web of little ahmed’s FB and twitter posts about loving Isis and aloha snackers.

I don’t think it’s the msm as it seems most have now reported it...it seems to be the AF that’s keeping a lid on it. No one has an update

".. the driver deliberately ignited the fire. He died inside the car..So it was a success.
