Connecting the terror dots (Houston)
cfp ^ | January 3, 2010 | Doug Hagmann

As detailed by Dave Macy and published on Canada Free Press Friday, police in Houston responding to a domestic disturbance found something they did not expect: an AT-4 shoulder-mounted rocket launcher that can shoot a missile nearly 1,000 feet through buildings and tanks.

Channel 2 in Houston also reported that police found Islamic terrorist literature at the same location. According to news reports, the items belong to Nabilaye I. YANSANE, who was charged with criminal trespassing related only to the domestic incident. No charges were filed for possession of the launcher or the literature. (A video provided by KPRC Channel 2 in Houston can be viewed at this link).

The reasoning for lack of criminal charges, of course is that the “once used” AT-4 rocket launcher, in its present state, is essentially nothing more than an elaborate paper weight due to its single use application. It can be legally purchased on the open market, from gun shows to army surplus stores. With regard to the Islamic terrorist literature found at the same location, our own Bill of Rights allows us the ability to possess certain writings within the scope of the law, despite the increasingly unpopular fact under the Obama administration and the reign of Napolitano that we are fighting Islamic terrorists on our own soil.

Except for inquiring minds, this story could almost end here. But as the saying goes, “Houston, we have a problem.” Picking up where the media left off, this investigator looked deeper into this incident and the background of the suspect, finding some facts that should raise some important questions about events that have been taking place inside the U.S., and perhaps connect some dots in the asymmetrical war being waged against us by Islamic terrorists from within.

Houston does have a problem and if the intel and law enforcement agencies are not crawling all over the area, well then . . .

As reported yesterday by the Star Telegram, Abdulmutallab spent two weeks in Houston in August, 2008 “attending a seminar” at the Houston Islamic center. Investigators have now broadened their scope to include the contacts made by Abdulmutallab in Houston, including at least three other individuals who have since relocated to the greater Detroit area.

As detailed in an extensive 2007 report about this Islamic center, “Al-Maghrib instructors also regular [sic] speak with other extremist preachers advocating for terrorism and violent jihad.” According to extensive investigative reports published since 9/11, instructors and staff from that institute have been associated with numerous supporters of terrorist acts, including homicide bombings.

No charges were filed for possession of the launcher or the literature.

The literature is probably not illegal, it would have to be very specific, such as plans for a terrorist act, for it to be. But the AT-4 should have the BATFE burning the place down, as they would for any citizen found in possession of such a device.

Houston police said they did a thorough investigation and did not find any ties to terrorists or a terrorist network. That’s it? Jihadist writings and a rocket launcher and three days in the clink?

It’s no wonder Janet Napolitano and the rest of the Big zero administration is so quick to call gray what is obviously black and white. No FBI follow up? No laws broken so no big deal?

Read again, it was just a fiberglass tube. Nonetheless, I hope these people are being investigated.

I need to read the article. It was a used launcher tube. Essentially a fiberglass tube. No rocket. Thus no destructive device, and the BATFE could care less.

Anyone familiar with the VietNam War should feel the chill from the then considerd worthless LAWS tubes that were thrown away on the spot of discharge. Those “paperweights” were used time and again by Charlie to fire all kinds of stuff back at us.

Hey that’s not a used AT-4 rocket launcher, that’s just some ‘faulty wiring’.

Imagine a half dozen jihaddi jr’s on the back of a flatbed with a load of these, zipping down I-10 targeting our refineries!
