CNN reported on 9/11 that it was getting reports of men driving a van on the New Jersey Turnpike which was pulled over for unclear reasons, and found to contain "tons of explosives".[2] Some minutes later, Kerik contradicted these earlier reports, stating that although 3 arrests had taken place, the van was not stopped on the George Washington Bridge, and that no explosives were found. He did not give a reason for the arrests.[3]

Kerik left for a four-day trip to Israel on August 26th, 2001, "where he will meet with government officials to discuss anti-terror tactics and Israeli traffickers of Ecstasy pills." [4] While there he met with Eithan Wertheimer, whose loan was involved in Kerik's later indictment.[5]
