Arizona highway shut down due to suspicious vehicle

Authorities shut down part of a highway in southern Arizona Friday because of a suspicious vehicle, state authorities said.

Authorities closed the northbound lanes of Interstate 19 in the border city of Nogales, Arizona because of the suspicious vehicle, said Officer Quentin Mehr of the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Mehr would not say why the vehicle was believed to be suspicious or what type of vehicle it was.

Southbound lanes were still open, Mehr said.

CNN affiliate KGUN reported that a bomb squad had arrived at the scene.

    Like I said...probably just some strung out news reporter. They are the worst terrorists ever in the history of mankind.

    saying the car looks mexican is racial profiling, and some of you people need to grow up, this isn't really a laughing matter at all. Atleast the police are doing their job for once, to serve and to protect. We don't know what that car could of been. Think twice before opening your mouth.

    Traveled to AZ for vacation and noticed they have far more active highway patrols than anywhere else. Sheriff/Cops pulling vehicles over very frequently there....no complaints though...they are doing what they are supposed to do.

    I still remember the mobile bioweapons lab our intelligence community said was in Iraq. Some of those people must be in Arizona now.

    Don't be surprised if the Cartels start coming up against the AZ people! Don't forget they are also hiding in the USA!

    The border situation is getting very dangerous. CNN likes to pick and choose which stories they want to run and edits the content to suggest and mislead the general public. WHY DID CNN CHOOSE NOT REPORT THE TEXAS DAM PLOT??
