FBI alert triggered
by 'Mideast' truckers

Pair reportedly tried to put unleaded gas
into 18-wheeler at Colorado gas station

Two men described as 'Middle Eastern' seen driving a semi-truck that made a stop at a Colorado gas station are the focus of a nationwide alert issued by the FBI, according to a report by KUSA-TV in Denver.

The men driving the 18-wheeler reportedly stopped at a Hess station Thursday afternoon in the town of Byers, about forty miles east of Denver.

The FBI’s Joint Terrorist Task Force got involved when an attendant saw the men apparently trying to put unleaded gasoline into the truck. The attendant had to tell the pair to use diesel fuel instead.

The men fueled up with the correct gas, paid in cash and then headed toward Interstate 80 in northeastern Colorado.

Few details of the FBI alert, which was released Friday afternoon, have been made available to the media.

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

Authorities reportedly ran a check on the plate and determined it's not currently registered.

The real cops would love to have the truckers and other motorists involved in this case.

Fox will get involved when Rita gets a call from frontline cops with the description like she did with the beltway snipers.

The last thing the left wing mediots want now is a big nationwide report that some Islamokazis had a semi loaded with something that could cause massive harm. That would make their cash cow, their Uncle Soddomite look bad.

...the FBI now believes several dozen suspicious Middle Eastern immigrants sought through a Colorado truck-driving school...

They blend right in except for the fact they don't know some of the basics like what fuel to us in a semi, and they look Middle Eastern.

Reminds me of the state drivers license scandal in Illinois a few years back. Finally took down the governor there. Hundreds and hundreds of unqualified applicants were given commercial drivers licenses for a few hundred dollars under the table. Most were foriengners.

Seems this sort of scam happens in a lot of states at one time or another.

Why isn't this on the cable news 24/7? Work it like an Amber Alert.

or the Drudge Report. I've sent Drudge an email last night. They've updated thei site since but it doesn't include the search for this truck.

"Possible truckload of terror heading east. Meanwhile, Daytona prepares for 125,000 spectators at the track. The largest concentration of people in one place this weekend, unless you count the over -inflated estimates of "peace protestors".

I have to wonder if these sort of FBI searches make it to the truckers via CB radio, or if any Amateur Radio nets pick up on them. Any comments or suggestions on how to tap into those networks?

Can you imagine the impact if we had 100,000 actively involved monthly Free Republic donors.

There would be no real need to go to any other news source.

And just where would these 100,000 Freepers get the news to report to you?
