UPDATED!!!: Suspicious Truck @ Miami Port

UPDATED!!!: A suspicious device was found Monday at the Port of Miami, according to officials. A bomb squad was on the scene; officers were seen donning explosive suits.
A spokesman for the Miami-Dade Police said the bomb squad has located some sort of instrument that tested positive for C-4 — a type of plastic explosive, reported WSVN-TV. Miami-Dade Police were gathered near Cruise Terminal H of the port.

Pretty sketchy info. So far I've heard a truck in Miami's port is found to be suspicious. The truck was being driven, so far they believe,by an Iraqi. Hiding in the back were two other middle eastern men. I've been hearing they are Lebanese. More here...

3 middle eastern men. Not on a terrorist watch list and in the country legally(weren't most of the 9/1 bombers?). The driver lied about not having anyone with him, and his manifest did not say what was in the truck.

This is a large 18 wheeler truck. They do not know what is in the truck. Bomb squads are moving in.


UPDATED: News conference @ 5:15 p.m. eastern.

UPDATED:Driver did not have correct ID, one of the two guys hiding in the back did not have any ID at all. Contents do match the manifest. Wire spools and car parts. Still talking to the driver and the two "passengers". The driver DID claim to be alone. Driver was Iraqi.

Considering Michigan being a pit of hard core Muslims, and the company they worked for is based there??? VERY SUSPICIOUS.

Looks like a false alarm, but I am quite happy they did what they did. I think it sends a message. Fact is.... why were the other two guys there? Dry run. That's just MHO.
