CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Again, Florida officials have closed Alligator Alley. That's a major east-west section of I-75. Authorities have also issued a no fly zone after suspects that could be plotting a terror attack in Miami were stopped on the interstate by state troopers. Those suspects are now being detained and they may be still on the highway right now.
You're taking a live look at this stretch of highway, Alligator Alley. And, Chad, you know where this is?

CHAD MYERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, it's a very straight road that goes from the west coast of Florida right on over to the east coast and then connects into basically the I-95 over there by Miami, so.

COSTELLO: And apparently state troopers have been stopping cars and they stopped this one car where they believe these alleged suspects are. So we'll have much more on that coming up on AMERICAN MORNING.
