FBI Steps Up Search For Missing Tanker
Nov 10, 2004 11:12 pm US/Eastern

There are new fears of possible terrorism involving a missing gasoline tanker trailer. The tanker was stolen from Pennsauken, New Jersey, seven months ago. Now, as CBS 3’s Tamsen Fadal explains, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is stepping up its efforts once again to find the tanker.

Tanker trailers drive the roads across America every single day and are usually directly next to us on the highway although sometimes we never even notice them. As a result, the FBI is asking the public to be more aware as the stolen tanker has been missing since April. Now, terrorism experts are hoping it hasn't fallen into the wrong hands.

Fadal reports the trucks can haul thousands of gallons of fuel, hazardous materials or chemicals.

Gasoline tanker-trucks have been used by terrorists in the middle east for almost a decade and now American experts fear the trucks turned bombs could soon be used here.

That is why both the FBI and terrorism expert Dr. Stephen Gale are concerned that a gasoline tank trailer has gone missing from Pennsauken, New Jersey: “Most of them are unnoticeable and unnoticed on the road. This area is filled with major sources of chemicals that could be used and transported for any kinds of terrorist attack.”

Fadal reports the truck was stolen from TK Transport, a truck lot, seven months ago.

“It's very odd for a tanker to be stolen and as you are aware, a tanker can be used as a vehicle to carry explosives or explosive material,” said FBI Spokesperson Jerri Williams.

Which is precisely why the FBI is asking the public for help.

“We believe it could be in an abandoned warehouse or a barn and we want people to look out for it. We are not going to stop until we find it.”

In the meantime, Fadal reports the missing tanker trailer could still bear the markings "TK Transport" on both sides of the tank.

Anyone with information on the trucks whereabouts is urged to immediately contact the FBI.
