Possible Connection To Terrorism Locally

TORRANCE — What started as a police investigation into a string of gas station robberies in the South Bay has now turned into a full-blown counter terrorism investigation.

The FBI is investigating two suspected Southland robbers for possible connection to terrorism.

A target list said to include two synagogues, the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles and at least 17 military installations in the Los Angeles area was reportedly found at the home of one of the two robbery suspects.

The list is supposed to have been found at the home of Levar Haney Washington, 25, who was arrested on July 5 along with Gregory Vernon Patterson, 21.

The two are alleged to have targeted a number of gas stations and convenience stores in the South Bay. Bail has been set at $1 million for Patterson and $2 million for Washington, both of whom have pleaded innocent.

They are probably ex-cons recruited into Islam in prison. That is the breeding grounds for converts and democrat voters, coincidentally.

Left Advocates Violent Attacks against "Military Targets" in United States Little Green Footballs ^ | 5/8/05 | Unknown

5/8/2004: Nazimedia: Attack US Targets

The San Francisco branch of Indymedia advocates violent attacks against “military targets” in the United States, in a post that was moved by the Indymedia overlords to their “hidden” area, but remains visible with a few clicks: Military Targets in the USA must be Attacked. (Hat tip: Rayra.)

UPDATE: The incriminating page has now been removed completely, after the Morlocks noticed referrals from LGF.

UPDATE: This is the text of the deleted Indymedia post:

Military Targets in the USA must be Attacked by al-masakin — Thursday, May. 06, 2004 at 7:13 PM

The torture of Muslim prisoners in Iraq in the “rape rooms” at the American Abu Ghraib prison confirms that the so-called American war on terror is really a war on Islam. George Bush has created a global gulag network of extra-legal and secret US prisons with thousands of inmates. This Gulag stretches from Afghanistan to Iraq, to Guantanamo and secret CIA prisons around the world. This Gulag exclusively holds Muslim prisoners.

In light of these revelations, Al-Masakin would like to take this opportunity to remind the American Muslim Mujahedin, and our allies in the revolutionary and anti-Imperialist left, that ROTC buildings, armed service recruiting centers, individual military personnel, and police officers are “military targets”. These institutions must be violently and covertly attacked. In fact, there are thousands of unarmed military targets walking around all over the United States. Outraged American citizens and American Muslims should have little difficulty making violent contact with recruits, cadets, marines, etc.

We strongly recommend that such contact be made with a very sharp knife, pepper spray, brass knuckles, baseball bats, firearms, explosives, or the bumper of a full sized automobile, truck or SUV.

They are already here and they aren't just twiddling their thumbs.

I understand this is going on in some gangs, as well--out of prison.

All it will take is for one of these nutbar groups to get ahold of a list of former military, and they could conceivably expand their operations 10fold. However, any such uprising would only be successful until people figured out what they were doing, at which point there would be a lot of perforated wanna-be mujahideen laying around.

Agreed.

I can't see ex-military helping them, at least not too many. I haven't forgotten that American soldier in Kuwait that threw grenades into a tent and murdered some officers. There are a few malcontents scattered about to be sure. God help them if they turn on us here...in their own country.

What I meant was that, in light of the fact that they consider individual military personnel to be targets, they might also be willing to go after former military. My conclusion was that the jihaters would probably be able to cap more than a few ex-mils before someone figured out what they were doing, at which point the ex-mils, all of whom are at least familiar with firearms, would arm up, and start perforating jihaters.
