A driver stopped on an Iowa highway this month was found with flight-training manuals, Arabic documents and night-vision goggles, and he told troopers he knew of terrorist plans to shoot up trains in San Diego, according to court papers. Michael Wagner, 44, of San Diego, said he had knowledge of terrorist activities and people and groups tied to al-Qaida and the Taliban. Wagner also said that he knew about things in the Muslim communities in San Diego that would interest federal authorities.
From Michelle Malkin: Just as Customs agent Diana Dean pulled over Ahmed Ressam for acting nervously and conducted a vehicle search that saved untold lives by averting the Los Angeles millenium bomb plot, Iowa State Trooper Kenneth Haas decided to search Wagner’s vehicle during a routine traffic stop because Wagner repeatedly gave a false name, couldn’t produce an identification card, and showed signs of nervousness.
Wagner reportedly told a federal agent about “a man in San Diego who he said wanted him to shoot at trolleys there…Wagner also told the agent “he knew of activities and people involved in al-Qaida and Taliban.” Better keep an eye on this story.
