Two Israelis driving a moving van were arrested in Tennessee last Saturday
after leading police on a high-speed chase, marking at least the third
time since 9/11 that Israelis in moving vans suspected of espionage in the
U.S. have been taken into custody.
Taken
into custody in the incident were Israeli nationals Shmuel Dahan and
Almaliach Naor. In the wallet of 23-year old Dahan, an Israeli military
veteran living in Miami Beach, police discovered a “Learn to Fly in
Florida” business card.
"I got a sick feeling when I saw it (the
business card)," Kent Harris, Sheriff of Unicol County in Tennessee, told
the Associated Press, expressing concern about the proximity of the nearby
Nuclear Fuel Services plant in Erwin.
“Its the nation’s sole provider of fuel
for the Navy’s nuclear subs,” he explained in a phone interview Monday
evening.
The

has learned exclusively that the ‘learn to fly in Florida’ business
card is that of Nissan Giat, also an Israeli military veteran, he said, as
well as a free-lance flight instructor in the Miami area, working out of
the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport.
“These guys aren’t terrorists, they
belong to the Israeli military,” he protested, in a telephone interview
Monday night.
