Was it just a wrong turn, or something more sinister?
Marine base Camp Pendleton — one of the largest military bases in the country — is reportedly on high alert after three Middle Eastern men tried to enter the base last weekend on multiple occasions in multiple vehicles. And while the men initially claimed they didn’t know each other and simply took a wrong turn, new information from a local gas station about “hateful comments” and “terrorist threats” casts doubt on their story:

KGTV explains some of the shocking details:
According to a Be On the Lookout (BOLO) alert issued to high-ranking Camp Pendleton officials, someone reported hearing hateful comments and terrorist threats from three men at a gas station in Oceanside Saturday.
Investigators at Camp Pendleton said the men asked the attendant for directions on how to get to Camp Pendleton before they left the gas station.
According to the alert, shortly after midnight Sunday, a rented silver Toyota Corolla driven by Naeem attempted to enter Camp Pendleton through the main gate. As it was being searched, Petrossian and Avanosian drove up in a black Mercedes, but were told to wait. Instead, they continued past the gate and onto the base. Following a short pursuit, the Mercedes was stopped and searched.
No weapons or contraband were found in the Mercedes, but base security noticed the air bag in the steering wheel of the Mercedes had been pulled out and re-attached with duct tape and had wires hanging free, the alert said.
Something tells me that in the politically correct world we find ourselves living in, that that was not the case : /
Thought you ought to know.
“The Muslim terrorists are planning another attack. ‘
Could be that was the attack. We’ll spend millions now, and make it harder for non-terrorists to get on base (maybe they’ll inspect all airbags?)..
It costs money to ratchet up security, and more to make new policies, train everybody, deploy the new procedures, audit them, and all the paperwork.
Shoot’em first!
Soon we will hear from CAIRO that this BOLO is racist and the BOLO’s must be banned!
CAIRO=CAIRO
(the iPad sucks....always changing words)
Some of the Camp’s outlying buildings are pretty accessible off Mission Road. I got lost looking for a friend’s battalion office.
“If they did make it onto the base, and if they managed to fire weapons and slaughter innocent and unarmed military personnel - it would NOT be a terrorist incident.”
Attacks against a military target are generally NOT considered terrorism. Attack a nightclub full of civilians = terrorism, attack a military base full of soldiers = combat operation.
I am ready to throw this thing out the window.
The only good muslim is a dead muslim.
There are no coincedences.
Those darn Amish! Always up to no good! :)
Why are there ANY Middle Eastern men freely roaming this country at all?
This line really raises flags:
Instead, they continued past the gate and onto the base.
On the Air Force base, I have to weave through a maze of concrete-filled iron posts, Have my ID bio-metrically scanned by an armed guard, and after that there is a huge pop-up barrier about 200' after the gate that can stop a dump truck if the guard pushes the button.
Hmmm, making sure their trip to allah isn't thwarted by an airbag? If they plan to explode the car(s), why would they Cair about dismantling the airbags. Or do they intend to use the compartments to store their own explosive devices. Or the whole hanging wires mess is a diversion, but then again, Wile E. Jihadi ain't that smart.
Entering through the main gate? Not very bright. In the 60s-70s mexican groups trying to steal arms and peace protestors tried to and sometimes gained entry by way of some remote access points. Pendleton is a vast area with remote ranges and training areas. There was a story (maybe urban legend) that some peaceniks made their way into a remote area of the base at night but fortunately for them were spotted by an artillery observer near the impact area where a live fire artillery night training exercise was taking place.
It looks more like a toll booth than of a high security gate.
I thought we made pals with all of our former enemies?
Maybe these are Moderate Muslims who are upset that we are now siding with the Radical Muslims?
