Troopers Target Traveling Terrorists

Florida Highway Patrol officials are keeping an eye out for suspected terrorists on the roadways this holiday weekend.

Troopers are not only looking for speeders but also terrorism suspects. Mug shots of the nation's eight most wanted terrorism suspects were given to law enforcement officials nationwide. FBI officials sent the pictures out in order to keep the suspect's faces fresh in troopers’ minds.

Florida Highway Patrol Sergeant, Nicholas Causey says, "The photos are there to make us more aware just in case we run into the subjects we know who they are and we recognize them."

Florida Highway Patrol officials say it's very likely terrorists could be on the roads.
