Breaking: Car with Explosives in SC, 2 Middle Easterners Detained

CNN and local news are reporting that a car possibly carrying explosives has been stopped by police outside Charleston, South Carolina. Two men were in the van, both described as Middle Eastern.

The car was stopped in the community of Goose Creek, north of Charleston. The bomb squad and the FBI are on the scene. Highway 176, where the car was found, is said to still be closed.

Hat tip: Larwyn.

UPDATE: I know that CNN is retracting the "Middle Eastern" angle, but local media is still running with it. But get this, reliapundit dropped this in the comments:

Goose Creek is home to the Naval Weapons Station and the U.S. Naval Consolidated Brig, a military prison where enemy combatants have been held."
That's interesting. It may be nothing more than cops with a heightened sense of security.
