Suspicious person
Dardanelle (next town to Rsvl)- A man reported to Police a man of possible Middle Eastern origin entered Al's Conoco On March 4 and asked questions about Arkansas Nuclear One and the Arkansas River dam.
According to a report, the complainant stated the suspect pulled into the gas station about 1 p.m. in a 1986 Mercedes 190 black 4-door sedan. The complainant advised the suspect spoke in a heavy Middle Eastern accent and asked, "How do I get to the nuclear plant? I have a friend that lives near it?" The suspect then stated, "I need to know how to get to the dam also."
The complainant stated he told the suspect how to get to the two locations, but thought it was suspicious because of terrorist actions which have recently occurred in the United States. When police provided the complainant and his wife a picture of the vehicle's registered owner, they advised authorities it was not the suspect who was driving the vehicled at the time and asked for directions.
Anyway, this could be some yahoo trying to get their two mins. of fame, then again it might be something. We do have a damn here, and the power plant. Thought you might find this interesting.

No one was rude or anything, and it was nothing personal against anyone, it was just to make a clean thread. I think 55 posts were removed out of the total, so it still leaves about 300 posts of links about terrorism!
