Washington - Local police outside Charleston, South Carolina stopped a vehicle in which they found what were suspected to be explosives, according to media reports late Saturday.
Two men described as being of possibly Middle Eastern origin were in the vehicle, which was stopped on a highway.
A police bomb squad was at the scene and preparing to examine the vehicle, a local television reported told the Cable News Network (CNN).
I’m just shocked they admitted they were middle-eastern.
I hope these guys get water boarded, dog attacked and given cold weather treatment to make them talk. If they don’t talk drop them off of a C-130 without a parachute, back in Muzzieland, of course, at 19,000 feet. Repatriate them.
I hate to say it but waterboard them both.
I was in Charleston visiting family 3 weeks ago and everywhere I went there was a noticeable police presence—especially after 9 pm on most roads. Unlike California, the police in South Carolina will pull over a car for any reason they want. I like that. Maybe that’s what California needs (and soon)
Update right now on CNN coming soon
Glad to see there is someone who says waterboard besides me.
Could have claimed to be illegal Mexicans, police would have been forced to release them.
Self ping
You mean like a couple of years ago when the ME student blew himself up outside an OU football game after he tried unsuccessfully to get in?
ping
Or the time when a Muslim shot the attendant at an Israeli airlines - I think that one was in California somewhere.
That was on the 4th of July a few years ago.
Thank You, saw it.

He wasn’t middle eastern/
BTW, here’s a wild lawyer-gone-wild story from Charleston I found:

Being from Florida they could be hispanic. Will wait for confirmation.
I hear you, but look closely and you'll see that "they" haven't admitted anything. The information comes from unnamed sources.
From the article at wolficatZ post:
Sources also say that there were two people in the car and that they were of Middle Eastern decent.
I am going to follow it closely and wait and see. Hell, maybe I'll even take a shower. ;)
Police: Explosives found in car in Berkeley County
Aug 4, 2007 08:02 PM MDT
GOOSE CREEK (WCBD) - The FBI and the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department are investigating what they think are explosives found in a car in Goose Creek.
Police say part of Highway 176 in Berkeley County is closed, and traffic is limited to local residents around Mount Holly Road.
WIS News 10’s sister station in Charleston, WCBD, reports authorities pulled over a suspicious car at around 6:00pm Saturday. Officers asked to search the vehicles, and discovered what investigators say are “possible explosives” located in the trunk.
Once federal agents were brought in and analyzed the situation, an FBI-controlled robot pulled a bag filled with the suspicious items from the vehicle.
The two men inside the vehicle, which is reported to have Florida tags, have been detained at the scene.
WIS News 10 talked to an FBI spokesperson who told us she could neither confirm or deny a possible link between the vehicle and a terrorist plot.
