I am way behind on everything this morning. The power went out at about 8:00, and I've just gotten online about 1/2 hour ago. I just saw them push the Caprice into a garage. They caught the pair sometime last night. The plates for the Caprice were registered in Camden, NJ. I don't know how big an Arab community there is in Camden. I know there is a big one in Jersey City, and I think there is one in Patterson as well. I just saw a picture of agents carrying a box into a building which I think may be the rifle. The box doesn't look like it could fit an AR-15, but it could fit a regular bolt action long gun. That is rank speculation on my part, so I could be very wrong here.
Update: I was wrong, Indepundit is saying it is an AR15 Bushmaster.

The A3 top removes the traditional AR-15/M1-16 carrying handle and replaces it with a low-scope scope mounting rail, making the overall rifle quite a bit less tall with a scope attached.
