FBI alert triggered
by 'Mideast' truckers
Pair reportedly tried to put unleaded gas
into 18-wheeler at Colorado gas station
Two men described as 'Middle Eastern' seen driving a semi-truck that made a stop at a Colorado gas station are the focus of a nationwide alert issued by the FBI, according to a report by KUSA-TV in Denver.
The men driving the 18-wheeler reportedly stopped at a Hess station Thursday afternoon in the town of Byers, about forty miles east of Denver.
The FBI’s Joint Terrorist Task Force got involved when an attendant saw the men apparently trying to put unleaded gasoline into the truck. The attendant had to tell the pair to use diesel fuel instead.
The men fueled up with the correct gas, paid in cash and then headed toward Interstate 80 in northeastern Colorado.
Few details of the FBI alert, which was released Friday afternoon, have been made available to the media.
The name on the truck is 'Real Transport' and it has a Quebec, Canada, license plate number RS7-116.
Authorities reportedly ran a check on the plate and determined it's not currently registered.
Here is a lengthy but important document which should be read by all!

No info on that, just that they may be on I-80
Thanks for the link. That article needs better search keywords.
I take it the 'Real' rigs are cargo containers unloaded from ship transport. Wonder if it would trigger a Geiger counter.
Maybe WND got it from here first
Arghhhhh . . . The dummy!

The Terrorists were probably taught how to drive the truck but they never considered having to refuel it.
