The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has advised other law enforcement agencies in the United States to be vigilant regarding tanker trucks, as terrorists are planning to use the fuel transported by these trucks as weapons for terrorist attacks. The FBI stated yesterday that it has obtained information indicating that terrorists are likely considering attacks on Jewish neighborhoods and synagogues in the U.S. and other countries using gasoline-filled tanker trucks. However, the FBI did not specify which locations would be targeted by the terrorists. In recent weeks, the FBI has issued several warnings to thwart potential terrorist attacks. One type of attack may target ships in ports, bridges, and other coastal targets. On the other hand, the FBI is investigating statements made by a Lebanese-American who claims to have overheard a conversation between at least two individuals via mobile phone discussing a possible terrorist attack on a U.S. city on July 4th, or Independence Day. The FBI is trying to verify the accuracy of the claims made by this Lebanese-American businessman living in Las Vegas, the gambling capital of the U.S. Michael Hamdan has alleged that while attempting to call his wife on his mobile phone, his line apparently connected to the phone line of two men speaking in Arabic about targeting the gambling city and vice on Independence Day, which could refer to Las Vegas and the day of American independence. The Lebanese-American citizen reported this matter immediately to U.S. federal agents.
