"We know al Qaeda training manuals have encouraged terrorists to obtain assault weapons in the United States," she said. "

Personally I find this very troubling. It is yet another sign that AlQuida wants war on our soil. If this cache was caught, how many have slipped thru? We need to start profiling and weeding out potential terror cells here at home, and soon!

The weapons' bayonets were still affixed to them, as were cartridges that can hold up to 30 rounds, they said.

Cartridges that can hold up to 30 rounds? Who hired this genius?

The AK-47s had been tampered with so they couldn't be rapidly fired, but the modification was one that could easily have been reversed, authorities said.

Tampered with? How about legally manufactured that way. Sounds like a shipment of Romanian WASR or SAR semi-automatic rifles which are perfectly legal for sale in the United States.

The assault weapons are a favorite with terrorists: Usama bin Laden sported one in the now-infamous footage of him taken after 9/11.

Bin Laden had a Soviet Krinkov....not a semi-auto Romanian AK clone.

AK-47s also have been the weapon of choice for some infamous military-minded wackos, such as the teens who shot up Columbine HS in Littleton, Colo., in 1999.

Wow.....this guy is just making it up as he goes along. There were no AK-47 type rifles used in that shooting. The "reporter" has a serious agenda going here.

The startling seizure prompted Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-Nassau) to call for a renewal of the 1994 federal ban on assault weapons, which is slated to expire Sept. 13.

Why am I not surprised. Vt. is a hotbed of useful idiots.

[Broker]

A possible scenario. Just north of VT is the looneytoon city of Montreal, home of many Islamic fanatics. Importing guns through the border is tough. Prepositioned guns makes sense for combat teams with a mission. The ATF and FBI must be all over this case like white on rice.

[Huber]

I'm guessing that these are for Vermont's impending secession from Canada!

[jslade]

Anybody remember that during the rapist/scum bag/perjuror's administration the 2,000 or so AK-47 (FULLY AUTOMATIC) that were confiscated in Los Angeles that one of bubba's chicom buddies was trying to smuggle in for LA street gangs?

[N. Theknow]

Vermont?

OH! *slaps forehead* Must have been for the YYYYYEAAARRGGGGHHH National Guard.

Exactly how is a "law" supposed to prevent Al Qaeda from obtaining assault weapons?

[familyofman]

Must be a lot of deer & bear hunters in VT - just looking for an 'edge'. AK 47s are much better for deer hunting than just plain-jane rifles, dont'cha know.

Two pieces of a highly radioactive fuel rod are missing from a Vermont nuclear plant, and engineers planned to search onsite for the nuclear material, officials said Wednesday.

Carolyn, you ignorant slut. Normally I would suggest that you are just stupid but with the enormous number of Dem's and RINO lefties exposing themselves as dedicated and determined enemies of this country I cannot give you the benefit of that doubt today.

Tell us, Carolyn, why would a ME terrorist come to the U.S. and pay $450-$800 dollars for a semi-auto AK when a full-auto AK can be had for $75-$150 every day of the week throughout the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa? Hmmmmmmmmmm? Why?

Furthermore, thanks to a strong state Constitution, even the full-auto AK is legal here in Vermont. I would welcome a warehouse super-blow out sale so my wife and I could buy two or three AK's apiece. It's rather quiet up here usually but Vermont seems to be a crossroads for crack and heroin addicts traveling from Boston to Montreal for weekend parties and ME terrorists in Montreal heading to Boston. (for prayers at your Mosques or jobs at Logan I presume) Since we can't afford 24 hour security guards like the politicians have I'd like to be able to defend myself, you elitist pig! ; )

[mass55th]

Hmm...missing fuel rods from Vermont Nuclear Reactor, missing gasoline tanker from New Jersey, hundreds of AK-47's headed for Vermont...

[AD from SpringBay]

VT eh? I have always been told it was the southern rednecks that were feeding guns to the gangs in the northern cities. Perhaps a little mythology from the media?

I'm also skeptical that these were bound for terrorist cells in the US. We already have enough guns to arm insurgents - if that's what they're serious about doing, the land battles on US soil would have begun without the need for more semi-auto eastern bloc knock-offcs.

[bmwcyle]

Was there an order of red ski caps with that?

[hosepipe]

No doubt bound from Vermont to Dearborn, Mi.. The greatest concentration of Muslims in the country.

[stoney]

This is nothing to worry about. Our gun control laws would have kept these weapons out of the hands of terrorists and gang members.

Because terrorists follow law, Mrs McCarthy...
