Story Right here!!!!

Ananova : Terror police arrest seven at RAF base

Seven men have been arrested under the Terrorism Act after several stowaways were discovered in a lorry outside an RAF base. Police were called to RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk, shortly before midday and found six foreign nationals concealed in a lorry at the base gate. The stowaways were found after noises were heard coming from inside the vehicle. It is understood the lorry has entered Britain hours before. One German and six Iraqi men were arrested, police said. The men were also arrested in connection with offences relating to illegal immigration.

LOL! First thing I thought of was "I hope they're in there collecting lint for the war effort," but I did see a scroll on this on one of the cable channels at lunch. They were found hiding inside a truck on one of OUR airbases in England. That's when the hair went up on MY arms. I have been trying to find a source for the story. I'll be checking some of the Brit papers & I hope other freepers are as well.

He is at the jail waiting on processing them with T.J. Hooker. Just heard Starsky and Hutch have signed on as part of the "T" Squad and Hug E. Bear is now part of the CIA as human intelligence in the region.I knew would would not mess around.

one German

Is that really a Turk from Germany? Or is it a member of the terrorist Red Army Faction?

You HOPE it's a German Turk - at least with these guys being racially identifiable, they're fairly easy to spot.
