A busy Gwinnett County intersection was shut down for about two hours Monday morning after a suspicious device was found in a parking lot, police said.
The "very suspicious device, about the size of a mini-flashlight," was discovered shortly before 9 a.m. in the parking lot of the QT gas station at Satellite Boulevard and Merchant's Way near Gwinnett Place Mall, said Gwinnett police spokesman Darren Moloney.
The gas station, as well as a nearby restaurant and strip shopping center, were evacuated, and police closed off the intersection.
Moloney said the device was rendered safe and removed by the arson squad, and the roads and businesses were reopened by 11:15 a.m.
No further information was released about the device.
Wonder what they mean by "device". Seems odd to shut the whole place down for a small item, which tells me they are looking for more than just suicide/homicide bombers in subways in NYC.
Interesting discussion on your website. re: Why Atlanta?
Atta had friends there, I'd be willing to bet they are conspiring in a mosque somewhere in Atlanta as we speak, the same goes for many other cities. I wonder how many overdue visas are out there? How many are still coming here on student visas with ulterior motives.
I hate to say it but for the time being they should go to school in their own country. I'm sure there are great schools in the Middle East with all the money they have.
