Armed pair held at Central Command base
« on: June 15, 2010, 09:30:44 AM »
MacDill Air Force Base, Florida (CNN) -- A heavily armed man and woman were in custody Monday after trying to enter the Air Force base that houses the headquarters for U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan without authorization, an Air Force spokeswoman said.

The pair were stopped at a gate at MacDill Air Force Base about 5 p.m. after they could not show proper identification, Senior Airman Katherine Holt said. A search of the vehicle after they were detained found military-style uniforms and gear and several "rifle-type" weapons, Holt said.

The two were being questioned Monday evening, another Air Force spokeswoman, Elizabeth Gosselin, told CNN.

Authorities cordoned off their sport-utility vehicle and searched it using a robot, but no explosives were found, Holt said. Video showed base personnel removing weapons, ammunition and military-style clothing from the vehicle. ...

TAMPA — A man who tried to enter MacDill Air Force Base with a cache of military gear and weapons Monday night is an active duty member of the military listed absent without leave, a base official said Tuesday.

The official, speaking at a news conference, did not identify the man and woman who he said tried to enter the base in an SUV that contained three rifles, three handguns and ammunition Monday evening.

Their motive for accessing the base remains under investigation, said Col. Dave Cohen, 6th Air Mobility Wing vice commander.

"At this point there is no indication that it is a terrorist act," Cohen said.

If they were the "Timothy McVeigh-type" that's exactly what would be going on.

I read about this earlier, I would be looking at Bosnian muslims. There is a huge population here especially where I live.But you would never know they were radical just by looking at them. They already have pulled off 2 stunts like this.

Photos of these people will be released soon enough. Then, all our suspicions will either be confirmed, or laid to rest.

Still waiting for photos or even names to be released. It seems like there is a news blackout going on.
