Possible Terrorist Plot Against South Florida

MAIMI -- An advisory has been sent out to police departments across the state. It's a warning about three men who may be putting together a dangerous plan involving Miami.

A woman at a Georgia restaurant says she overheard three men talking about coming to Miami and she didn't like what she heard. So tonight police are on the lookout for those men.

One day after America remembers September 11th, an alert is issued to police departments across the state about three men.

A woman overheard them talking Thursday morning at a Shoney's restaurant in Calhoun, Georgia. The woman claims the men said, "They (Americans) mourned on 9/11 and they are going to mourn again on 9/13." The men also discussed "running 5 hours behind schedule." One of the men reportedly said, "We do not have enough to bring it down." The men then left the restaurant, and headed south on I-75.

Miami-Dade County officials say they are not taking any chances.

Steve Shiver, Miami-Dade County Manager says, "At this point in time we have no reason... ...to be aware of our surroundings."

We have comprised some information about these men and police are asking for your help.

The description of the first car:

A Nissan Maxima: cream color with gold trim and a Carmax tag on the front of the vehicle.

Now the second car:

A new Honda, black with Illinois plates.

Now for the suspects' descriptions;

First: A man of possible Middle Eastern descent, 5'10'', 200 pounds, 20-30 years old, black hair, brown eyes, set wide apart, thick beard that extends past his collar.

Second man: again, possible Mideastern descent, 5'7'', 130 pounds, black hair that comes down to his collar.

The third and final man, also of possible Mideastern descent, 5'7'' 130 pounds, shiny black hair.

Now we want to stress tonight, as we speak, the nation is still at an orange alert. (the second highest) This may be nothing, but they just want to talk to these men to make sure.

If you have any information you are urged to call Miami-dade CrimeStoppers at (305) 471-TIPS or in Broward call (954) 493-TIPS.

Police Stop Cars In Florida, Following Overheard Threat

(CNSNews.com) - A terrorist alert has closed an 80-mile stretch of I-75 (Alligator Alley) at the edge of the Florida Everglades this morning. Police have stopped, and are now searching, two cars after specially trained dogs apparently sniffed explosives. Fox News reported a woman in a Georgia restaurant overhead two Middle Eastern men talking about a major attack in Florida on Sept. 13. She quoted them as saying that people were mourning on 9/11 and they'll be mourning again today. Police were able to locate the two cars the men were traveling in; they're questioning the two suspects; and that's all we know right now.

3 detained in Florida security check; Alligator Alley closed

NAPLES, Fla. - (AP) - Three people in two vehicles were detained Friday on Interstate 75 in southwest Florida based on possible terrorist threat information from Georgia, police said.

Bomb-sniffing dogs brought to the scene alerted to material in both vehicles, said E.J. Picolo of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Live television shots at 7:15 a.m. showed explosive charges being used to blast open what appeared to be a backpack taken from one of the vehicles.

''The information we have is very specific,'' Picolo told WBBH-TV of Fort Myers.

He said the three people had not been arrested, but were being detained.

The Florida Highway Patrol shut down the interstate section known as Alligator Alley shortly after 1 a.m., when the vehicles were stopped.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued the advisory Thursday after a waitress in Calhoun, Ga., in the northwestern part of that state, told police there that she had overheard three men of Middle Eastern descent discussing terrorist plans Wednesday night.

The Georgia woman said the men were talking about amounts of explosives and warned that Americans would ''cry on 9/13,'' said Miami Police Lt. Bill Schwartz, quoting from the Georgia advisory.

Alligator Alley is the main road from Naples to Fort Lauderdale across the Everglades in South Florida.

The FHP said the road was blocked off from a toll booth east of Naples to State Road 29, about 20 miles away. Traffic was being detoured at those points.

Well praise God for alert folks! And for a law enforcement system that took her seriously.

One good thing about florida's geography is that their are only so many ways in and out! And the way to Miami is pretty much certain.

Thanks for keeping us posted Kindgo

[Roll Eyes]

I think they should have to pay for all that
equipment and personnal out there, HOW many hours?

I know we have freedom of speech, but you shouldn't be able to say that your going to blow up stuff, then say 'just kidding' [mad2]

Agreed!!
Some people sometime take a cheap shot at someone , then say "Just Kidding". I hate when that happens. Even worse is these 3 guys with their terrorist jokes. "Just Kidding" don't cut it for me.

That should be considered a "terrorist threat" and they should still be going to jail for it. If FL isn't too wrapped up in the govornor's race, that is.
