Почему молчит? Я видел баннер 'задержали израильтян со взрывчаткой'.

Это наверное как раз про этот случай.

A Budget truck was pulled over in Oak Harbor, Washington last Tuesday
near the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and found to have traces of TNT
on the gearshift and traces of RDX plastic explosive on the steering
wheel, Fox News has learned.

The FBI, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and local police are all investigating.

Shortly after midnight on May 7, federal officials say local police
pulled the vehicle over for speeding. Documents read to Fox News indicate
that the driver and passenger told local police they were delivering
furniture from California but that authorities doubted the story because
of the early morning hour.

A bomb-sniffing dog first detected explosives on one of the men and
inside the truck. High tech equipment was used later to confirm the
presence of TNT and RDX plastic explosive.

Documents read to Fox News indicate that both driver and passenger were
Israeli nationals. Investigators say a roadside check of the national
database of immigration records indicated that one of the men had not
entered the country legally, and the other was in violation of his visa.
Both men were taken into custody for immigration violations.

At 7:30 that morning local police were notified that the BATF and FBI had
tested the truck and found traces of explosives on the steering wheel and
gear shift.

Officials say no other charges of been filed against the driver and
passenger and an investigation is ongoing.

Authorities say records for the Budget truck do not indicate any recent
rental for the purposes of transporting explosives, which would require
special permits.
