  San Francisco, CA - An Al Qaeda plot to drive a van into downtown San Francisco and detonate heavy explosives was foiled on Friday by Shawna Jones, the morning dispatcher for U-Haul in the Potrero Hill neighborhood. According to Jones, Reza Al Hagwani had reserved a U-Haul van for pick-up early Friday morning. When Al Hagwani arrived at 9am Friday, however, Jones informed him that there was no U-Haul van available.
"I told the man that we had no vans for him but that we might have one down in San Jose," said Jones. "I can't help it if we don't get the vans exactly on the day people needs it. " An incensed Al Hagwani stated that he intended to "write a scathing letter to the management of U-Haul" protesting his treatment. "I cannot believe that even with all the computers at the disposal of these workers, they are unable to deliver me with the van I ordered more than two weeks ago," said Al Hagwani.
"There are many choices to me of rental truck companies, and the next time I will not be calling U-Haul, that is for certain. " Al Hagwani did make the one-hour trip to San Jose to inquire about renting a van from that location, but it is not yet known whether a van was available.
