GOOSE CREEK (WCBD) – [1]The FBI and the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department are investigating what they think are explosives found in a car in Goose Creek.
Police say part of Highway 176 in Berkeley County is closed, and traffic is limited to local residents around Mount Holly Road.
WIS News 10’s sister station in Charleston, WCBD, reports authorities pulled over a suspicious car at around 6:00pm Saturday. Officers asked to search the vehicles, and discovered what investigators say are “possible explosives” located in the trunk.
If I remember correctly, there’s a Naval [2] weapons station [3] there [4], and a Nuclear Power Training command center. [5].. as well as a prison where Islamic radicals have been held in the past… though frankly I don’t know if they’re being held there now.
CNN was mentioning that the occupants of the car were of middle eastern origin, though for reasons known only to them, they’ve dropped the reference. I assume this is of the same type of non-thinking that leads them to not label Islamic terrorists as such.
The story, as they say, is developing.
Update: (Bit) As I go through my morning routine, I see that Michelle Malkin is on the case. [6]
Update ][: WIS-TV now has the names of the perps.
WIS News 10 spoke with officials at the Berkeley County Detention Center who said 24-year-old Ahmed Mohamed and 21-year-old Yousef Megahed, the occupants of the car, are still in police custody.
Well, you’ll forgive me if I don’t act like I’m in deep shock, here. Neither is Jawa Report, apparently:
Move along. These are not the middle eastern men with bombs and names similar to Megadeath we’re looking for.
