Saudi-born US naval engineer allegedly gave undercover agent info on how to sink carrier
Fox News ^ | December 06, 2014

A Naval engineer is facing charges that he gave an FBI undercover agent posing as an Egyptian intelligence officer secret documents about the new Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier while discussing how to sink the vessel with a missile.

Mostafa Ahmed Awwad, 35, of Yorktown, Va., was arrested Friday on an FBI affidavit that reads like it came from a Tom Clancy novel.

Federal prosecutors in Virginia say that during his conversations with the undercover, Awwad arranged to use a dead-drop location along a secluded hiking trail to pass secrets about the Ford, which is being built in Virginia for delivery to the Navy in 2016.

The affidavit says that at a hotel meeting on Oct. 9 Awwad gave the undercover drawings of the aircraft carrier that he said were top secret. During the meeting, "Awwad discussed where to strike the vessel with a missile in order to sink it," the affidavit says.

The FBI undercover was posing as an Egyptian spy named "Yousef" and spoke to Awwad in Arabic.

Any surprise there? “Mostafa Ahmed Awwad” should have been the first clue.

The guy got his security clearance in August and went right to work.

Hang him on national TV.

Our islamoNazi enemies are flooding into America under the current Washington.DC regime. This (and obama arming them and protecting the Iranian nuclear Icbm arsenal buildup) is what its all really about. They don’t really give a da@m about obamacare or ferguson

If it wasn't for the American men and woman whose lives could be jeopardized, this would be really funny...If it would only affect those who make the decisions to put terrorists into our military and gov't, it would be hilarious...

And our best muzlim ally, Saudi Arabia...What's the world coming to...

It would take next to nothing to decimate Saudi Arabia and commandeer their oil wells...They certainly wouldn't want me as the President of the U.S....

I hope that this gets max coverage and the family of every sailor on that ship gets wind of this.

First Waco, and now this. How many more times are we going to look away before a massive death of our forces occurs from Islamic espionage and terror from within.

'Hang him on national TV.'

Nationalized firing squad execution by an all bull blacker-than-the-ace-of-spades marines. That would be quite a PSYOP! (The arabs still consider blacks to be slaves.)

For situations like this, the pictures that comes to mind are of the public gallows used to hang the Lincoln assassination conspirators.

The upside is that he was occupying a slot that might otherwise been filled with a Chinese-born “US” naval engineer.

Why is DOD giving foreign nationals security clearances like this? Does NOFORN mean anything anymore?

The first question was mine, as regards he second,

The United States government classification system is established under Executive Order 13526, the latest in a long series of executive orders on the topic.[1] Issued by President Barack Obama in 2009, Executive Order 13526 replaced earlier executive orders on the topic and modified the regulations codified to 32 C.F.R. 2001. It lays out the system of classification, declassification, and handling of national security information generated by the U.S. government and its employees and contractors, as well as information received from other governments.[2]...

NOFORN: Distribution to non-US citizens is prohibited, regardless of their clearance or access permissions (NO FOReign National access allowed).

...the statement of NOFORN (meaning "no foreign nationals") is applied to any information that may not be released to any non-U.S. citizen. NOFORN and distribution statements are often used in conjunction with classified information or alone on SBU information. Documents subject to export controls have a specific warning to that effect. Information which is "personally identifiable" is governed by the Privacy Act of 1974 and is also subject to strict controls regardless of its level of classification. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classified_information_in_the_United_States

I think it is easier for a naturalized citizen to get a security clearance than a native born one. Less information to sort thru and they are bending over backwards for diversity. Dual citizenship is another mistake that we made..it shouldn’t be allowed. You are either a US Citizen or a foreigner..not both.

There was a time when for certain DOD/DOE work no naturalized US citizens could get clearances.

Especially foreign nationals named Mostafa Ahmed Awwad. You'd think that would be a red flag of sorts.
