LA airport gunman on FBI watchlist

FBI Agent Garcia said Hadayet was definitely NOT on any watchlist.

He spoke before he had been informed on what he was to say.

How can one believe anything reported as news any longer. All of the news that alarms us is manipulated for the sake of political expediency.

The government provides information much for the same reason a drunk uses a lamp post; more for support than for illumination.

A gunman who killed two people before being shot by an Israeli agent at the counter of Israel's airline El Al at Los Angeles airport was an Egyptian immigrant on an FBI watchlist, officials said today.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) identified the gunman as 41-year-old Hesham Mohamed Hadayet who moved to the United States 10 years ago and worked as a limousine driver, FBI spokesman Matthew McLaughlin said.

I posted that Hadayet was on the FBI's watch list HERE, on Thursday night, as reported by KABC 7 in Los Angeles. The FBI's spokesman on the ground on the 4th was Matt McLaughlin... wonder if he was KABC's source?

Shorly after, there was a flurry of reports on CNN, MSNBC, and Agent Garcia of the FBI that Hadayet wasn't on any FBI watch lists.

It appears the Bureau needs to get their story straight.

The "Lone Abdul Theory" is in for some trouble.

It appears the Bureau needs to get their story straight.

Yep. Let's the spinning start.

Well there's "watchlists" and lists called something else. Just like this incident is not "terrorism."

[zeaal]

I suspect one of the best ways to determine if this was a terrorist incident is to "follow the money." If the widow receives a payment from Saddam Hussein, the PLA, Hamas, Hizbulleh, or any other assortment of terrorist organizations then we can safely assume that in fact the shooter was interested in fulfilling a mission similar to terrorist homicide bombers.

The article said that they interviewed the widow and then told her not to speak to the press. I wonder how many bills were in the envelope she was handed before she left?

[zeaal]

Another tell-tale sign the shooter had terrorist affliations is if his photo begins to appear among those that are posted to honor homicide bombers.

It took a while to figure out where your source was:

The Aussie Sydney Herald , is that a Murdoch paper?

I wonder if they are just parroting the slivers of info we have seen over here.

[Bandolier]

Huh? At yesterday's afternoon press conference, FBI Agent Garcia said Hadayet was definitely NOT on any watchlist.

He was lying. You're shocked, right?

From the same source we have this:

AIRPORT ATTACK
It was terror, El Al victim's family says

The family of one of the victims of the shooting at an Israeli airline check-in desk in Los Angeles slammed the US Government yesterday for not classifying the killings as a terror attack. Full report

Israel and FBI split on gun attack

Rumpelstilskin!

Whatever are we to believe? Decisions, decisions...

[Bandolier]

Personally I think the FBI should just have one list, Shot the piece of $hit list. To get on that list, you have to be innocent of anything and sitting in your girlfriend's car drinkin' a slurpee.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL

"Alas!" answered the girl, "I have to spin straw into gold, and I do not know how to do it". "What will you give me," said the manikin, "if I do it for you?"

[Jhoffa_]

... was an Egyptian immigrant on an FBI watchlist, officials said today.

Oh, Hooray.

[Trust but Verify]

was an Egyptian immigrant on an FBI watchlist, officials said today.

What BS, anyone could write an article saying so and so was on an FBI watchlist. I could! Does that make it true?

[philman_36]

Let the spin begin!
I hereby nominate "spinning" as a new Olympc sport.
The winner gets a gold medal in the shape of...

...cause you never get any satisfaction from spin.

[philman_36]

Oops...Olympic (sticky keys/fumble fingers...something, anything)

I remember that being the case, too. Not on any watchlist. I have also never noted this particular website before. Is it reliable?

Before I get flamed, I believe it was a terrorist act --- I don't care if it was a lone gunman. Also, if I have to hear one more news-reader say ..."the FBI still don't have a motive ...", I'm going to throw something through my t.v. Hatred (hello!), hatred is the motive --- no other one needed for an Islamofascist.
