Shouldn't be to tough to find something this big.
FBI alert triggered
by 'Mideast' truckers
Pair reportedly tried to put unleaded fuel into 18-wheeler at Colorado gas station
February 16, 2003
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.

Liberian journalist Hassan Bility was arrested with colleagues in the Liberian capital, Monrovia, in June 2002 and held incommunicado for almost six months as what the government of Charles Taylor called an "unlawful combatant" and "prisoner of war". During his detention he was interrogated even, he says, by President Taylor himself, and tortured repeatedly.

" I am grateful to President George Bush, Mr Colin Powell - let's say I am grateful to the American government and people but I like to remind them that they should continue to mount pressure so that the other guys who are held in jail for committing absolutely no crime are set free."
