WASHINGTON - Two Middle Eastern men carrying fake IDs drove their tow truck past signs barring trucks and headed for the Pentagon until police officers stopped them, the FBI said Wednesday.
FBI agents and Virginia state troopers found no weapons or explosives in the vehicle. They said the passenger flipped a bogus Virginia driver's license out the window as they approached.
The driver also "became visibly upset" when agents found a second phony driver's license hidden in his wallet, FBI agent James Green said in court papers.
In a brief court appearance Wednesday, the driver was tentatively identified as Imad Abdel-Fatah Hamed, aka Imad Nimer. Various IDs he carried listed him as 28 years old.
The passenger carried IDs naming him as Sultan Rasheed Zaabi and Abdulla Rasheed Zaabi. His age was either 23 or 24. He also carried a United Arab Emirates passport with three separate U.S. visas, and was held on immigration charges.
