WBZ AM 1030 Radio News ^ | 11/02.01 | WBZ News reporter

Posted on 11/02/2001 6:14:33 PM PST by BansheeBill

Just reported on the 10 PM WBZ radio news broadcast:

FBI is seeking a rental type Ryder Van that was stopped trying to enter the parking garage at the Cambridge Mass Galleria mall at about 7 PM. When the back doors of the van were opened by security personnel, there were 6, 55 gallon drums duct taped to the vans walls along with gas type cans also taped to the walls.

The van then sped off. The FBI is asking for anyone seeing the van with possible license plate of 4789H7 to contact Police or the FBI.

Description of driver?

None of the news reports have had any description other than a driver and a passenger were in the truck.

"Doesn't the government have some type of duct tape spotting sattelite device that they could home in on Massachusetts?"

It would melt down and tumble back to earth as soon as it zeroed in on Barney Franks place...

There used to be a site on the internet that you could pick out a major city and listen to their scanner. Anyone know if it is still around? Last time I listened to it was years ago.

I wish I could tell you what is going on - I've been reading and listening to scanner for a long time - can't make any sense of it - How could they possibly have the wrong truck if they have the license number?

They've got 6 drums of gasoline?

Think it through. As I posted earlier, the van they stopped had different plates, and thus is probably NOT the van they are looking for. But they are stopping all Ryder vans(at least those that possibly fit the profile).

Smart Muslim terrorists (a stretch, I know) might be carrying more than one set of license plates. Most people don't know it, but many states sell license plates as collectors items to anyone that wants to buy them, as long as they don't order from an American address. Because, of course, Americans that buy them are probably looking to use them illegally, whereas good foreign people just think they're pretty.

Yes Burlington is outdoors but from a popularity standpoint, it was "THE" mall in New England when it first opened.

My guess is the van is parked in some garage, business, etc., hidden away.
