Homeland Security Asks Trucking Companies To Help Prevent Terror Attacks

Homeland Security is issuing a warning to trucking businesses about a low-tech, but frighteningly effective, terror tactic.

As CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported, the recently unclassified warning from the feds says, in part: “There are several indicators that may suggest terrorists are planning a commercial vehicle ramming attack, which can occur with little to no warning.”

Homeland Security is asking businesses to increase vigilance in order to guard against such potentially deadly attacks.

Last July, a terrorist drove a rented truck into a Bastille Day crowd in Nice, France.

Five months later, an ISIS supporter killed a truck driver, stole his rig and smashed into a Christmas market in Berlin.
