Goose Creek - Two men are being held in the Berkeley County Detention Center after police find explosive making devices in their car. There are conflicting reports as to the quantity of explosive making materials in that vehicle.

FBI (website) reports are saying that there is not believed to be a link to terrorism. The men 21-year-old Yousef Megahed and 24-year-old Ahmed Mohamed (seen in the video attachment) were pulled over Saturday evening during a routine traffic stop near Myers Road and Highway 176. Among the explosive devices found were igniters and fusers.

Few details about the suspects are known at this time. They are believed to be students at a Florida college. They are of Middle Eastern descent and are not US citizens. Neither man has been charged, but charges are expected Monday.

A press conference will be held in Berkeley County on Monday morning. Among the potential charges is possession of unlawful explosives.

Officials are not at this time releasing any additional information. Highway 176 in Goose Creek was shut down and has since reopened. Stay tuned to ABC News 4 and www.abcnews4.comfor details as they become available.

FBI: We looked carefully in their wallets, and did not find any al-Qaeda membership cards.

The FBI better come out quickly and say why it is not linked to terrorism, because with the information thus far, their credibility is thoroughly in the crapper. If they stick with this, it's obvious there's no point in even listening to what they say or think.

Yep, no reason to pursue the terrorist angle any further. Let them get back to their studies.

Folks, here’s the deal... this administration is no better at admitting the truth to the public than was the Clinton admin. ( TWA 800, WTC attack 1993.) We’re all going to pay.
