CBN Exclusive: Five Muslim Soldiers Arrested at Fort Jackson in South Carolina

CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas and are in custody. The five men were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.

The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.

A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the "Fort Jackson Five" may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, DC area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.

Coming as it does on the heels of November's Fort Hood jihadist massacre, this news has major implications.

Stay tuned to this blog for more details.

The only reason I can think of is to keep it from the 5 in Pakistani custody that we have their buddies. They can play one group against the other in interrogations. Or at least, whatever amounts to an interrogation for the 5 in our custody that were no doubt read their rights upon arrest.

-- FOX did report this but they do not have anything on their site. --

Army Investigating Poisoned Food Plot

Paints quite a different image of the case. "Detained in December" and "only allegations." At this point, no word of charges, either Court Martial under the UCMJ or as a criminal indictment.

Report: Ft. Jax suspects translators

Army probing poison plot -
By POLITICO STAFF | 02/18/10 7:08 PM

The U.S. army is two months into a probe of claims that soldiers attempted to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson, Fox News is reporting.

The Army is taking the allegations “extremely seriously,” Chris Grey, a spokesman for the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, told Fox News. But, he said, so far "there is no credible information to support the allegations." The suspects are native Arabic speakers, two sources told Fox.

This is a lie... never happened.

Cause the President said that it was an isolated incident when the Islamic doctor killed the troops in Texas, islamic man decided to char-broil his testicles and American citizen jihadist were found in Afghanistan.

This is just 5 individual, isolated and totally separate cases of men who just happened to want to poison soldiers in South Carolina.....at Ft. Jackson.... who are in the Army.... speaking Arabic... by themselves and all alone with no contact with anybody else .

yep, got it.

Cause we know that the Army officers in charge of the base would never endanger their careers by keeping islamo-thugs out of the Army and off base. After all, the really important thing is to do the PC thing, give them a mosque on base, disarm everybody on base, show the muzzies how nice we can be and of course deny that there is a concerted effort to murder every single man, woman and child on base that isn't a muslim.

The translators were probably all enrolled in Basic Training or Advanced Individual Training together. Ft. Jackson is a training post.

“Everyone of them in or near our military need to be sent back home and never allowed back in this country. Enough already. “

The reality: Illegal or legal entry alien muslims can sign up with the military and become instant citizens. Between Oct. 1, 2008 and Sept. 30, 2009, 10,505 immigrant soldiers became citizens - ONE YEAR.

“A recent report from the Immigration Policy Center said that as of June 30 there were 114,601 foreign-born individuals serving in the U.S. armed forces or about 7.91 percent of the 1.4 million military personnel on active duty.

And between Oct. 1, 2008 and Sept. 30, 2009, 10,505 immigrant soldiers became citizens, the report said.

Reports: Fort Jackson Soldiers Detained as Part of Investigation

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- Officials at Fort Jackson tell News19 that before Christmas several soldiers were detained in an ongoing investigation.

Right now we are told the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division is handling the investigation.

Several national news organizations are reporting that several soldiers tried to posion the food at the fort.

The media relations staff at Fort Jackson tells us that no one was poisoned and they are working on finding out if any of these reports are true.

WLTX.com will post more information when it becomes available.

“People will see this one small post, its not in bold type, it has no catchy comic figure or image and after the first paragraph you are already skipping on....

5 Muslims at ONE base, think of that.

How many bases do we have in the US?

How many “translators” does each base have?

Muslims are pit bulls, those cuddly Save Timmy from the well doggies, right?

Somehow “I told you so” just doesn’t do it.”

______________________________

See post 72.

BTW, all this ‘muslim outreach’ and recruiting aliens of muslim and assorted other stripes began under George Bush.

Yes, it would seem so. He sure didn’t want this news to be known in close proximity to news about Ft. Hood or the panty-bomber. Delay, delay, slip it out when something else big breaks. His cowardly treatment of the Dalai Lama today was buried too. A lucky stroke for The Won.
