Court papers indicate a driver stopped on an Iowa highway this month was found with flight-training manuals, Arabic documents and night-vision goggles. According to the papers, he also told troopers he knew of terrorist plans to shoot up trains in San Diego. Michael Wagner -- of San Diego -- said he had knowledge of terrorist activities and people and groups tied to al-Qaida and the Taliban. Wagner also said that he knew about things in the Muslim communities in San Diego that would interest federal authorities. Federal prosecutors have declined to comment on the case. And it's not immediately known whether authorities were able to corroborate his claims.
Wagner pleaded innocent today in federal court in Des Moines to being a felon in possession of body armor and weapons. |
