ALERT! FBI looking for truck that passed through Colorado!

DENVER - Concern among members of the FBI’s Joint Terrorist Task Force has surfaced in Colorado. A semi-truck driving through the state on Thursday afternoon apparently triggered a nationwide alert going out to law enforcement agencies across the state Friday night.

Only a few specifics of the alert were released. Apparently, it stems from what happened at a Sinclair gas station in Byers around 1:30 p.m. Thursday. Byers is about 40 miles east of Denver on I-70.

Two men described as Middle Eastern in an 18-wheeler with a white tractor truck apparently tried to put unleaded gasoline into the truck. An attendant advised them it would not work and told them they needed to use diesel.

The men fueled up with the correct gas, paid in cash and left on Highway 36, which would connect them to I-80 in northeastern Colorado.

The truck has a Quebec, Canada, license plate number RS7-116. The name on the truck is Real Transport.

Authorities ran a check on the license plate and said it was clear, but it does not have a current registration.

The FBI sent out the alert shortly before 5 p.m. Friday. It advises law enforcement officers that if the semi is contacted to identify the occupants and determine if there is a current registration available.

If the FBI has any other reason to be worried about the semi, it's not saying.

There’s no confirmation that this is tied into any possible terrorism, but with the country on high alert, no one wants to take any chances.

Ummm Yes! It's like, um, totally, you know, embarassing, to, ummm, get like, killed by an idiot, dude...

I don't doubt that they are dangerous, but they are still bumbling idiots.

Even more dangerous is the fact that they've managed to bring most of our sheeple nation to it's knees.

[Atchafalaya]

No roaches on that truck!

I had a fried tell me once that if you use simple pool chlorine treatment, like Shok-It, and mix it with antifreeze, it burns with a blue flame. Said he used to put it in separate baby food jars, and duct tape them together. It flames on impact. Never tried it, but I'm sure anybody wanting to build a simple explosive can get most of what he needs at Wal-Mart, anyway.

More Brazilians?

Are you saying that because of an expired license tag,
that the UNKNOWN truck
(with radio active material)
that passed through the Detroit border last year,
is the same truck spotted in Colorado this month?

How the heck should I know if it is the same truck?

All I am saying is
that for the past year there has been a desperate nation-wide search
for an 18-wheeler carrying radioactive material
that crossed the border from Canada to the USA
somewhere near Detroit.

We used to wake up reliefs with a nudge and a camera flash! It would take about five minutes for them to be able to see well enough to quit swinging wildly!

There seem to be a lot of things someone can do if they want.

I'm thinking chlorine can be used for all kinds of nasty things.

IIRC,either Bin Laden or some of his family own or owned a pool chemical supply company in one of our Northern states.This may not be a healthy thing for us.

The attendant should have LET them put the unleaded gasoline in the tank.

DUMMY of the day award!

Your BOLO is the first time I've heard it on this thread. I was on the road for about 8 hours in western Kansas yesterday with the scanner turned to "area law" and heard no bolos for this truck.

[rwfromkansas]

I am NOT a mechanical or Mr. Fixit guy, but even I know that Diesel is for big rigs. If these guys did not know that, that is definitely a serious concern.

Which way would they be heading, taking this route?

Your#118)......................Yes!

Scary thought:

Could Quebec then be a 'FRENCH Islamic Colony'......? (Socialist Parly-view Arabic?)

Yes,......VERY scary.

We may need troops on ANOTHER border!!

:-(

CSIS, CIA, DIA, FBI,....'State',......should really follow up on this scary 'thought'...!

[dinodino]

I agree. I'd assume that a run-of-the-mill truck thief would be stealing a truck to part out (I'm going on the assumption here that the truck had no cargo). Any regular truck thief would certainly know how to drive it.

[Allan]

Bump

[dinodino]

That sounds pretty cool. Bet the fumes and smoke from that are NASTY. Actually, you can get all kinds of toxic crap at the pool store--chlorine (liquid and various powders/tablets), muriatic and hydrofluoric acids...

[Allan]

Could Quebec then be a 'FRENCH Islamic Colony'

Many people have been detained in Canada
during the past few months
in connection with the Ricin poison
and a threatened attack on the Toronto Subway.

To my knowledge,
most, if not all of them,
were North African French-speaking Arabs.

[Squantos]

Ya have to understand the LEO overtime lost here if they catch em.......can't have you truckers stealin their fire an all.........

Stay Safe and thanks from me for keeping an eye out for these potential POS islamakazis.

[maestro]

Very scary stuff isn't it?

Thanks for the 'comforting' information!

Stay Alert!

[Squantos]

All I got was from the text....., license plate number , Country, Province, color , name of company on vehicle and description of the two drivers. I wrote it down on my note pad and went shopping in the big city west of me . So I did about 120 miles this afternoon and looked at everything down here on I-40.......nada .

Stay Safe !
