Jihad Attack Foiled at MacDill AFB? Pair with Carload of Weapons Arrested

This is breaking news at FOX and elsewhere, so there's plenty of time to guess the names and, ahem, religiopolitical affiliations of this pair of losers who apparently tried to get on base with no military ID or other clearance.

Military-style gear and weapons were found inside the vehicle of a man and woman who attempted to gain illegal entry to MacDill Air Force Base in Florida on Monday, the military said.

The two were in custody after trying to access the base about 5:00 p.m. local time through the Bayshore Gate, according to a United States Air Force statement.

Base public affairs officer Senior Airman Katherine B. Holt reports a man and woman were unable to show proper identification Monday evening, and their vehicle was searched. Security found military-style gear and weapons in the sport utility vehicle but no explosives. Holt says she didn't know how many weapons were removed but they were rifle-type.

The suspects names were not released.

The base is home to U.S. Central Command, which runs the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Bayshore Gate is closed but the rest of MacDill, including the Dale Mabry Gate, is operating normally.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

maybe they were upset about their foreclosures and the BP oil spill

Man and woman together is not standard operating procedure for Jihadis,

HOWEVER,

it would be a smart move tactically, because who would expect it?

Were they Mr. and Mrs. Smith?

That would be the sexiest Jihad attack in history.
