Manchester Bomb Suspect Had Terrorism Training Abroad: Source (And Family Reported Him)
MSN ^ | 5/23/2017 | Multiple

MANCHESTER, England — Salman Abedi, the 22-year-old British man believed to have killed 22 people in a suicide-bomb attack, had ties to al Qaeda and had received terrorist training abroad, a U.S. intelligence official told NBC News on Tuesday as the United Kingdom raised its terrorist threat level to the highest category.

The U.S. intelligence official, who has direct knowledge of the investigation, said Abedi, whose family is of Libyan descent, was identified by a bank card found in his pocket at the scene of the explosion after an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena. The identification was confirmed by facial recognition technology, the official said.

Abedi had traveled to Libya within the last 12 months, one of multiple countries he had visited, the official said. While he had "clear ties to al Qaeda," the official said, Abedi could have had connections to other groups.

Members of his own family had even informed on him in the past, telling British authorities that he was dangerous, according to the intelligence official.

The U.S. official said Abedi's bomb was "big and sophisticated," using materials hard to obtain in Britain — meaning "it's almost impossible to see he didn't have help."

Amen a thousand time over. As has been mentioned plenty of times on this site. What will it take????????????????????

Speaking of judges and unconstitutional actions against the “PEOPLE” of the United States of America, need I mention a certain judge in Hawaii on the ninth circus court who should receive his just deserts following the next attack on the American People.

PS: You like Radio Gun Smoke, too? Did Parley have any relationship with Michael Baer (Jethro Bodine)?

Hehehehehe. You are correct. I have no idea on Michael.

Hawaii and Oregon too...

If the perp on the next attack came in after their judgements, I’d love to see them go to prison. I do believe they have been protected from things like that, but it would be the just thing to do.

EXCERPTS:

“The FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev but let him go; Russia sent the Obama Administration a second warning, but the FBI opted against investigating him again.”

“...the FBI had possession of emails sent by Nidal Hasan saying he wanted to kill his fellow soldiers to protect the Taliban — but didn’t intervene, leading many critics to argue the tragedy that resulted in the death of 31 Americans at Fort Hood could have been prevented.”

“The father of the radical Islamist who detonated a backpack bomb in New York City in 2016 alerted the FBI to his son’s radicalization. The FBI, however, cleared Ahmad Khan Rahami after a brief interview.”

“The FBI also investigated the terrorist who killed 49 people and wounded 53 more at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Fla. Despite a more than 10-month investigation of Omar Mateen — during which Mateen admitting lying to agents — the FBI opted against pressing further and closed its case.”

Almost as if it’s son and father.

But then, the DNC would have to conspire to hide that fact by using Photoshop birth certificates, and a lot of game-playing.

Good thing we can trust the DNC to always be truthful and above-board.

Somebody’s been putting up “binges,” 9.5 hours of radio arranged by season. I can see how the original script of more than a few TV early episodes looked, and compare the Parley Chester with the Dennis Weaver Chester, James Arness with William Conrad, etc. We’re living in great times for Gun Smoke lovers.

Which members of his family, because the news today is reporting his father and brother have been in Libya for terrorist ties.

Obama comment? No.

The only way to defeat Islam and make America safe follows these guidelines from an earlier post:

Declare Islam to be a subversive political system, not a religion. and outlaw it.

Stop making the country a place where muslims are welcomed and coddled.

Ban the worship of Islam and the practice of all Islamic related culture (no more multiple wives on welfare).

Tear down the mosques and turn the land into garbage dumps.

Wipe out the no-go zones.

Ban muslims from holding public office or government employment.

Ban all signs not in English.

Ban the printing of official documents in any language other than English.

Ban the use of any language other than English in all schools and government bureaucracies.

Deport all non-native born muslims.

Deport any native born muslim who continues to overtly or covertly worship Islam.

They were first geeration immigrants, the son was ‘native born’.

It is WHY Islam must be banned from the US and the west if innocent people are going to be able to live peacefully.

The first generation of Americans born to Muslims do NOT know the $hitpit country their parents came from. The "kids" are indoctrinated by their mosque's messages that for Islam to rule the world, they must kill infidels. And for killing infidels, they will be rewarded.

Same result with Boston Marathon bombers.

u>MANY Americans won't understand Islams goals until they are at the morgue identifying their children killed by their barbaric jihad.

EVERY MUSLIM is commanded by their HOLY KORAN to kill infidels. Convert or die.

The U.S. government did the same in 911 and the Christmas party massacre in San Bernardino, CA.

They’re importing mass murdering terrorist right into out towns and cites.
