Fort Lauderdale Police Issue Alert
BOLO Issued For Six Men
POSTED: 8:00 a.m. EDT September 17, 2002
UPDATED: 9:58 a.m. EDT September 17, 2002
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- There is yet another alert out for possible terrorist activity in South Florida.
On Monday police issued a "BOLO," or be on the lookout alert, after a Middle Eastern man reported to police he overheard six men talking, in Arabic, about blowing things up. He also says he heard them discussing Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and saw the men transferring bags between the cargo beds of two vehicles.
Police and the FBI interviewed the Royal Palm Beach resident who made the report. They said he is credible.
That led to a statewide alert for the group of men who were seen driving a late model green GMC crew cab truck and a purple Ford F-150 pickup. Both vehicles have tan bed covers.
