WHAT are we waiting for ... before we'll consider internment?

Throwing innocent people in jail ("internment", "relocation", "concentration camps", whatever $#%$ing euphemism you want to use) is absolutely evil. Remember Manzanar. Never again. Don't go there.

Nash County NC is not very far from to the Navy base

Yikes! It is?? (I'd better go find a map...)

[DoughtyOne]

Let me guess. If the truck driver would have shot them, it would be termed by Arabs to be an over reaction, just another example of prejudice against Arabs.

[b4its2late]

Oh no.

This story makes no sense. I dont buy it. I dont believe this was a hijacking. "Tried to force him off the road"???

Perhaps he just cut in front of the guy or something..who knows - I dont buy it - this story smells

This is not close to Charlotte, Dog ..... but Charlotte has 2 nuke power plants nearby plus it is a financial center ..... headquarters of Bank of America, for example.

There was a story on a local tv web site the other day that said that on a scale of 1-10, Charlotte would be about an 8 as far as risk factor.

CP&L's Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant in southern Wake County is Southeast of Nash County.

Here is a map of North Carolina's counties

"Nash County NC is not very far from the Navy base in Norfolk VA."

Also, not far from Seymour-Johnson AFB, Pope AFB, Camp LeJeune, Fort Bragg, and Cherry Point MCAS.
All of these are in eastern North Carolina.

Possible hijacking attempt thwarted

By Oren Dorell, Staff Writer

NASH COUNTY -- Local police and federal agents are searching a three-state area for two people who may have tried to hijack a tanker truck loaded with fuel this morning.

The incident occurred at about 6:40 a.m. near the intersection of U.S. 264 and Interstate 95 in Nash County according to the State Highway Patrol.

"Every indication is that these individuals were attempting to stop a tanker truck," said Frank Perry, senior resident agent in charge of the Raleigh office of the FBI. But he added that "There's no imminent danger. Nothing was taken."

Perry said the incident was at first treated as possible terrorist attempt, but later in the day FBI investigators and the State Highway Patrol agreed that they were not sure if it was anything more than road rage. But the Highway Patrol has been broadcasting a radio message to local police this afternoon to be on the lookout for a Dodge Neon with N.J. tags "driven by two Arabic males." The message warned that the men should be "armed and dangerous."

Renee Hoffman, a spokeswoman for the State Highway Patrol, said the incident occurred as the truck was traveling eastbound on U.S. 264 approaching I-95. The driver told police that a copper-colored Neon tried to force him off the road. He eluded them, got off the highway, went to a Bojangles Restaurant and called police.

The car was last seen traveling east on U.S. 264 and police were asked to hold the men, described as carjacking suspects, for the FBI, according to the message. The message was sent to all law enforcement agencies in North and South Carolina and in Virginia, Hoffman said.

Any other incidents? Yomma likes multiple scenes.

I have my niece here she is from outside of Charlotte(sp).....she is telling me .....there is a nuclear plant nearby...

Damaged to a plant in this location would cause the jet stream to carry material up the coast (DC, PHIL, NYC, Boston).

[Overtaxed]

What is in a 60 mile radius of this area? Ports, City, Nuke power plants? Help out here....

Sims, Baily, New Hope, Rock Ridge, The Country Doctor Museum. :)

The largest city would be Wilson in Wilson County. Tobacco warehouses and lots of fields.

[Shermy]

The car has New Jersey license plates; the registration is unknown.

Trenton-Anthrax connectons? What ever happened to the Anthrax story?

Last night FOX News reported that there was an attempted attack or something at the Pentagon where two middle eastern men were arrested with a stolen tow truck; nothing further or since.

Here's the thread: Two Middle East men arrested outside Pentagon - Fake drivers’ licenses spur troopers to call in FBI

Kay...Linda just told me one nuke plant is near ....the Bank of America

[jgrubbs]

I meant Wake county is southwest of Nash county!

Throwing innocent people in jail ("internment", "relocation", "concentration camps", whatever $#%$ing euphemism you want to use) is absolutely evil. Remember Manzanar. Never again. Don't go there.

While maybe unnecessary and a mistake, "absolute evil"?

[Cobra64]

Near RTP.

LOL...Like I said earlier....the story made no sense - it was road rage! Sounds to me like people are just jumping on anything - people need to calm down - especially those among us here! Earlier someone said there was a possible attack at the Pentagon last night. There was NO such thing...some guys were arrested in a tow truck...but there was not an attempted attack. Put the tin-foil away and stop being little panic-mollies over every news story that comes across the wire.

The sky is not falling....though reading this group one would think it is

Dodge Neon with N.J. tags

There's that New Jersey again. They seem to be set up there and travel the east corridor between there and Florida.
