To avoid charges of Arab profiling, the APB described the men as dark haired, bearded, dark-eyed, olive-skinned, turban-wearing Norwegians.

If it was indeed a hijacking attempt I have no doubt it was caused by Middle East culprits. What American in their right or left mind would take a Dodge Neon up against a Semi-Tanker?

These Mid-Easters lack the immersion into western culture that would have told them by instinct that no self respecting truck driver would ever give up his rig to a puny little Dodge Neon.

Thwarted attack on the Pentagon, and a thwarted attempt to get a fuel truck. Oh boy. I wonder if these guys were part of the warning we recieved from Washington yesterday.

Dodge Neon with N.J. tags

There's that New Jersey again. They seem to be set up there and travel the east corridor between there and Florida.

wonderful reporting skills on display

"driven by two Arabic males."

so it takes TWO arabic males to drive one Neon?

The message warned that the men should be "armed and dangerous."

hear that? You two had better be armed and dangerous now!

"Hope they catch the slimeballs."

Personally I hope some "Good ole boy" with a loaded double barrel shotgun catches them first.

If the driver would have been thinking quicker, they would have been peeling these middle-eastern morons out of their tiny neon. My actions would be similar to when a spider is being too much of a nuisance to me. SQUASH IT!!

I predict that they will claim to be innocent sightseeing tourists who merely were trying to get directions.
And of course they were having so much fun touring that they totally overlooked the expiration of their visas 5 years ago...

And the courts will believe them, and release them!

I don't have time to do it, but could someone start a link list of all the incidences that have happened after 911 that had "middle easterners" as the culprits? This is for information, not hate or discrimination. I have heard a lot of these things going on, then the story disappears. It doesn't seem that anyone is linking them. (the kid in the airplane who had a Syrian dad, the greyhound bus in Tennessee, the driver license incident in Tennessee, the shooting at that college, etc.)

The information is relevant, and could help save lives.

and since most of the population get their news from this ilk, it's no wonder we're confused.

I missed the "alleged men" part. maybe they're women in drag or something?

They must own one of those eeeeeevil SUV's, ......most's needs are met with just a siphon hose........aka Oklahoma Credit Card :o)

Sad that most are locked/blinded with the middle eastern look only profiling as lot's of blue eyed, blond haired bosnians and asian muslims as we see in the PI were sponsored as refugees into this country in the past and sleepers no doubt exist to conduct such terrorist and criminal acts against the CONUS and it's interests abroad......

Stay Safe !
