Good morning FL_, I was also thinking if there is/was a connection with John Mohammed and Iyman Faris, the truck driver double agent recently picked up. When they mentioned that Faris was a truck driver, it made me think about the 18 wheeler that witnesses reported that they saw at the Florida house where Mohammed once or occasionally resided.

Hi TK,
You are right that the truck driver Iyman Faris [aka Mohammad Rauf] was a central character in this story. A TIME.com article in May said this...

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,454469,00.html Soon after Iyman Faris agreed to cooperate with FBI agents, he was brought to a safe house in Virginia where agents directed and monitored his every communication, including cell phone and e-mail messages to his bosses, TIME's Daniel Eisenberg reports. "He was sitting in the safe house, making calls for us," says a Justice Department official.
...
The FBI and federal prosecutors are investigating a group of at least a dozen mostly Muslim men in the Washington area who studied under a local Islamic scholar. Investigators are also focusing on some Maryland-based associates of Faris acquaintance Majid Khan, a onetime resident of Baltimore who U.S. officials say was tapped by al-Qaeda to lead an operation to blow up gas stations in the U.S., TIME reports.

[a U.S. indictment of Faris accuses him of working for Osama Bin Laden, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and points out that 'gas stations' was a code word for acetylene torches used to destroy U.S. commuter bridges and trains]

John Allen Muhammad's sniper-car co-owner Nathaniel Osbourne was also studying to be a truck driver.
