SAN ANTONIO, Texas Three men with Arab names were charged Tuesday with making terrorist threats after allegedly telling a stripper at a topless bar they intended to blow up military bases in San Antonio.
According to a police report obtained by WOAI radio under the Texas Open Records Act, the men were "very serious" and said they were "having a good time and spending our money just like our others did before 9-11."
Some of the Sept. 11 terrorists spent the week before the attacks in a topless bar in Florida.
Patrolman Al Ballew said the three men, identified by police as Jadallah Abdallah, 21; Matram Sayez Hijaz, 20; and Rabhi Abdalla, 25, were paying "large amounts of money" to a stripper for private dances.
Abdallah and Abdalla gave addresses in San Antonio, although Abdalla claimed he was from "the West Bank." Hijaz gave police an address in Mesquite, a Dallas suburb.
Police confiscated a brown paper bag from Abdalla containing "several names and numbers and vehicle keys," as well as 21 gold and platinum credit cards. They also confiscated three Texas driver's licenses from Abdalla.
Officers also found a road map of Florida in the men's car, as well as "envelopes written in Arabic."
Federal Charges Unlikely!
Mark Rich, an FBI spokesman in San Antonio, said the men were questioned by agents, and he said they were "very interested" in the comments they made, but he told WOAI that federal charges were unlikely.
The men were being detained for the Immigration and Naturalization Service and were facing state charges of making terrorist threats. They were held in the county jail in lieu of $2 million bond apiece.
Officials could not confirm if the names given were the men's real names, if they are Arabs, or whether Hijaz really was from the West Bank. Their car was registered in North Carolina.
The manager of the topless club declined to comment.

They are being held on 2 million dollar bond. Ever think why?
To: Conservobabe
That can't be. The Feds attitude is its an isolated incident you know. Its good to see the State Of Texas is taking it seriously. What's a shame is the government of our country isn't.

I am laughing so hard.....
To: Conservobabe
For the record they look the right age to be Al Qaeda sleeper agents. So how come the FBI has a hands off attitude? After 911 you'd think given the 911 terrorists visited a strip joint as one of their endeavors in perfecting their cover prior to setting off on their murderous mission, you'd think Washington would wise up. Is every one asleep over there???
To: goldstategop
Oh pooh pooh, you do not know what the FBI is really doing, no?
To: Conservobabe
federal charges were unlikely.
Need anything more be said?
To: goldstategop
Yes, you are naive. Two million dollars in bail each, may just drag in some relatives to post it, no?

Yes, you are naive. Two million dollars in bail each, may just drag in some relatives to post it, no? It might all be a psyOps story, designed for some purpose we have no inkling of. Personally I take a lot of these types of stories with a grain of salt.
To: Conservobabe
I don't think they will get out. All the same its the Feds who are MIA here.

Sounds like their bragging took place after all the blood myteriously left their noggins and they couldn't think right. I wonder where all that blood went.

I did a Google search on 3 of the suspect names, if indeed those are the real names. Anyway, 2 of the suspects came back with zip, nada. However, one name, Jadallah Abdallah did produce 2 Google hits:

One or two drinks and these idiots are ready to be stupid. And talk stupid. Maybe this is why Muhammed banned alcohol in Arabia. His peeps just can't handle it.
They can't handle naked and dancing women, that's for sure.

Military bases in the U.S. are wide, spread-out affairs. Unless these guys had nukes comparatively very little actual damage would have been done.

"We're Arab. We won't hurt you, but we are here to carry out further attacks ... to blow up military bases. We're having a good time spending money just like the others in 9-11 did." That has to be one of the dumbest pick-up lines I've ever heard.

Their worst enemy is their egos. Some of them just can't keep their Saracen lips from flapping at the oasis. Kudos for this stripper. Somebody ought to reward her by offering her a good job. Sounds like she has a lot of common sense.

Hmmm....set 'em free and watch where they go and who they talk to?
These dickheads are useless as they are stupid. But they could lead to a nest.
