Washington Police on Lookout for Four Suspicious Men with Beards Seen at Pentagon
Washington, D.C. Fox affiliate WTTG-TV reporter Emily Miller posted to Twitter Wednesday night an internal police memo on four suspicious bearded men seen at the Pentagon on Sunday.
Miller said the memo from the Metro Transit Police was leaked to her by a source who thought the public should know.
Photos of the men walking in the Pentagon Metro Station shows them each having beards and appearing to be Middle Eastern.
Miller comments they are over-dressed for the warm weather that day.
