Soldier Said Accused of Helping al-Qaida

SEATTLE - A National Guardsman stationed at Fort Lewis was arrested Thursday and charged by the Army with trying to provide information to the al-Qaida terrorist network, a federal law enforcement official said.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Spc. Ryan G. Anderson was charged with "aiding the enemy by wrongfully attempting to communicate and give intelligence to the al-Qaida terrorist network."

It was not immediately known what information Anderson allegedly provided.

Anderson was being held at Fort Lewis, an Army base near Tacoma.

A message left with the Lt. Col. Stephen Barger at Fort Lewis was not immediately returned Thursday. Base spokesman Joe Hitt said he was not aware of the report, and messages left with Army officials at the Pentagon were not immediately returned.

Anderson, 26, is a tank crew member from the National Guard's 81st Armor Brigade, a 4,000-member unit set to depart for Iraq for a one-year deployment.

I wondered when the Muslims in the U.S. Military would start siding with the terrorists.

[The KG9 Kid]

I would like to think that this traitor would have been found out in USMC boot camp.

Washington State...Muslim named Anderson...doesn't surprise me a bit.

How will the media tie the Bush AWOL story in with THIS??

'Cause they will, and we all know it!

Treason is punishable by DEATH....

WABC radio running with the story.....no mention of the soldier being a muslim........

[Darlin']

".... Anderson is a Muslim, officials said."

It matters not where they're from, or their life experiences they share a common goal, they hate all "infidels" and want to kill every last one of us.

[11th Earl of Mar]

Maybe Allah Mohommad Zachari Anderson?

[petercooper]

Fort Lewis soldier charged with trying to aid al-Qaida


The Associated Press



FORT LEWIS — A National Guardsman stationed at Fort Lewis was arrested today and charged by the Army with trying to provide information to the al-Qaida terrorist network, a federal law enforcement official said.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Spc. Ryan G. Anderson was charged with "aiding the enemy by wrongfully attempting to communicate and give intelligence to the al-Qaida terrorist network."

It was not immediately known what information Anderson allegedly provided.

Anderson, a Muslim, was being held at Fort Lewis, an Army base near Tacoma.

A message left with the Army's Lt. Col. Stephen Barger at Fort Lewis was not immediately returned. Barger, however, scheduled a news conference at the base this afternoon.

Anderson, 26, is a tank crew member from the National Guard's 81st Armor Brigade, a 4,200-member unit set to depart for Iraq. It's the biggest deployment for the Washington Army National Guard since World War II.

Washington State University spokeswoman Charleen Taylor said Anderson was a 2002 graduate with a degree in history.

Anderson converted to the Muslim faith five years ago, the Everett Herald reported last week. He graduated from Everett's Cascade High School in 1995.

The brigade has been training at Fort Lewis since November. Eighty percent of the soldiers — 3,200 — are from Washington state, and 1,000 are from guard units in California and Minnesota.

It includes two tank battalions, a mechanized infantry battalion, engineers, support troops, artillery and an intelligence company.

It's due to return in March 2005, and be back under state authority by May 15, 2005.

We really need to stop immigrating Islam and get to work on pacifying domestic muslims, by keeping fire-breathing foreign mullahs out of U.S. mosques.

[Spunky]

I am beginning to wonder about Washington State and the kooks who are here.

I wonder what ever became of these two. The teacher was from right here where I live.
