NAPLES, FLORIDA - We're learning more about the three men who were detained after their cars were stopped in Florida overnight. <br>
<br>
According to a Florida law enforcement source, the detained men had received medical training from a school on the Caribbean island of Dominica. The source says they were headed to a Miami hospital for training. <br>
<br>
The official adds that none of the men was on any government watch list. <br>
<br>
Their cars were stopped based on a report from a Georgia woman -- who said she heard three men in a restaurant make comments that suggested they might be planning a terrorist attack. <br>
<br>
An interstate highway across the Florida Everglades is still shut down, as authorities use dogs and robots to search for explosives. So far, they haven't found any. <br>
<br>
A law enforcement official in Washington says authorities haven't found a terrorist connection. <br>
<br>
Still, Florida Governor Jeb Bush says that at a time of ``heightened vigilance,'' it's important to show that the ``system works.''
