Hmmmmmmm.

The FBI has joined the investigation into a multi-vehicle crash on the Stevenson Expressway after police found a $2 million check, credit cards and other "financial instruments" in the car of one of two people killed, authorities said today.

The items were discovered in the car of a 45-year-old man involved in the crash, which occurred about 11:20 a.m. Wednesday on the outbound Stevenson (Interstate Highway 55) near Stickney, Illinois State Police said.

The man, identified as Lafi Nofal, was flown by helicopter to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he died from his injuries hours after the accident, the Cook County medical examiner's office said.

A 76-year-old woman, Dorothy Walsh, who was riding in a separate car, was also killed, according to the medical examiner.

Members of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force were working with Illinois State Police to "determine the authenticity and origin" of the financial items, the FBI Chicago office said in a statement this morning.

There is no indication that terrorism is involved, according to the statement.

LetÂ’s see. Millions in negotiable financial instruments in the car, and a name which appears to be Middle Eastern. Are you folks sure that there is no connection to terrorism?
