WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Pentagon's inspector general announced today an investigation into whether or not a group of Navy SEALs committed fraud by spending several hundred thousand dollars on expensive hotels and other items during what they claimed was a month-long mission to search for Al Qaeda operatives in the Bahamas.
The small island chain east of Florida has no known connections with the terrorist organization, terrorism in general, or the Middle East.
The sailors of SEAL Team 11 allegedly concocted a fake mission to the island resort last December, based off of what they described as "classified intelligence, which shows a plan by Al Qaeda to smuggle two radiological devices to the islands in preparation for use against Miami."
Investigators now believe that the alleged Al Qaeda operation was really the plot of the movie Thunderball.
