Backing up is hard to do: Feds bust Moslem illegal alien
A truck-driving student is in custody in Boston after raising suspicions when he wasnt interested in learning how to back up his rig.
WLVI-TV (Ch. 56) reported last night that the would-be trucker is a 28-year-old Muslim from India and had overstayed his visa. An investigation is under way to see whether there is any connection between his unusual behavior and a terrorism plot. Federal authorities were alerted by instructors at the Nationwide Tractor Trailer Driving School in Smithfield, R.I., WLVI reported.
The student was described as a resident of New York, with drivers licenses from New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
Every indicator was there, R.I. State Police Major Steve ODonnell told WLVI. Any one of these things alone is fine, but four or five together . . .
... and you have "profiling." It works, too.
