Police detained five men of Middle
Eastern descent in Pennsylvania, after a toll booth operator informed authorities that they were asking questions about the location of a nearby
nuclear power plant. The toll booth attendant said that they asked if he knew of a good fishing location near the nuclear power plant. When the
Pennsylvania State Police stopped them and searched their van, they did not have any fishing equipment with them.
citizensvoice.com - 5 detained near Salem nuclear
plant.
Federal and state authorities reported Tuesday that several men of Middle Eastern descent were driving around the Berwick and Shickshinny areas
Tuesday looking for the nuclear power plant in Salem Township.
State police said they were asking directions to the river near the plant because they wanted to go fishing. Their minivan was pulled over by state
police in Shickshinny around 11 a.m. on U.S. Route 11 in Salem Township, four miles south of the Susquehanna Steam and Electric Power Plant.

Instead of asking for a good fishing location on the river, the men directly asked for directions to the nuclear power plant, and were only interested
in fishing locations near the power plant. Two of the five men were originally detained for Visa issues, but all five were released since they were
not actually doing anything illegal. Sources say that all U.S. nuclear reactors have been put on high alert.
