San Antonio break-in sparks FBI involvement: police [ Moroccans ]

Five foreign men were arrested during a courthouse break-in early on Wednesday and police said they found photographs of public buildings, water systems and malls from various U.S. cities in their van.

The men, at least three of whom were in their 20s, will be questioned by a joint terrorism task force including the FBI and immigration authorities, officials said.

Bexar County spokeswoman Laura Jesse said three men were found inside the 120-year-old Bexar County Courthouse, a landmark in downtown San Antonio and two in a large recreational vehicle parked in front of the building.

She said all five were Moroccans.

Inside the RV, officials say they found "photographs of infrastructure" including shopping malls, water systems, courthouses and other public buildings that they say were taken in cities across the United States.

"They got travel documents, parking passes, they have been all over the country," Police Captain Cris Andersen said.

"A lot of photographic equipment, a lot of documentation equipment (was) inside their vehicle."

“They need to be watched.”

Er...more than that I think. They need to be prosecuted for their crimes and incarcerated and interrogated.

Were they all named Mohammed? Are they Muslims? Nothing to worry about, I am sure. Just like the one on the airplane yesterday...

"Judge says it was probably a prank.

Traveling all over the country collecting pictures of water supplies and municipal buildings? That's some prank.

October 2011 through November 2012: Obama's poll numbers and the economy he destroyed on the downturn.

What would Bill Clinton do?

OKCBomb got him eleven points.

What did Obama counsel in Kenya when his cousin Raila Odinga lost the election?

He exhorted the macheteros-tireburners to murder a thousand, put hundreds of thousands out of their homes and incinerate Christians in their church.

Nope. They’re Amish except the driver. He’s a Mennonite.

Just heard, on the radio, that authorities don’t think this is terror related. Yeah, sure.

.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, First Amendment, remember?

Everyone has the right of his own opinion — even if it means the destruction of this nation.

You think I’m kidding? What do you think the OWS group is trying to do? Do you see local, state or federal government taking preventive action? Did you hear any of the debaters bring this subject up?
