One of US President Barack Obama's limousines has broken down in Israel.

The black, heavily guarded limousine experienced mechanical problems in Tel Aviv before Mr Obama landed in the country for a state visit.

Media reports said the vehicle was mistakenly filled with diesel rather than petrol.

The disabled limo was swapped for a back-up, and Mr Obama's busy itinerary in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Wednesday was not affected.

"This is why we bring multiple vehicles and a mechanic on all trips," US Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan said in a statement.

"Situations like this are planned for extensively by our advance teams so that the President's itinerary is unaffected by these types of issues."

Good talk.

Great and positive ideas, plus good anticipation are the keys that unlock & locks ones world. Ideas rule the world.

mistakenly filled with diesel instead of petrol?

Human being wey God create die on daily basis, not 2 talk of car wey human being create

Me thinks there is more to this story...

Jerry-jat:
how manage?...

Read before you post comments... Ignorance is a disease .

Hmmm! Hope dey will not mistakenly fill airforce 1 with groundnut oil insteal of fuel.

Am in the Front page, oh my gosh! :DAm in the Front page, oh my gosh!

Bash Me: Wat about it, hw's it news?

Because he's the president of the most powerful nation in the world and must be protected at all times.


Hamas are at alert in Gaza if you like to know.

Dat na small now, even my old peugeot 505 dey break down for person wedding convoy.

Must have been the work of a terrorist mole.

Either that or the average Israeli is simply too daft. Imagine what they will say if this were to happen in Nigeria.

If Obama was visiting Nigeria u can be sure the secret service will come with their own fuel.

This is serious. So it means they travel with vehicles for ground transportation. Meehn I tire for America and their style o. When they are not going for war.

the day GEJ will take multiple vehicles and mechanics for his oversea travel, Niraland will be in flames.

Don't know who deserves a slap more, the person that filled it with diesel rather than petrol or the person that made this news.

I am not in anyway surprise because nobody is perfect, some people just try to be more advanced than other.

If this type of situation happen to any African or the so-called third-world countries President, people would have been saying is because of their uncivilized or corruption or incompetence that cause it.

NO HUMAN BEING IS PERFECT!

duality: the day GEJ will take multiple vehicles and mechanics for his oversea travel, Niraland will be in flames.

GEJ deserves to travel overseas on foot.

That is a country that values the office of the president and therefore,they deem it fit that only noble men should occupy that sit.however in Nigeria,the reverse is the case because vagabonds have found their way into that office and its presidential status has diminished over time.
