The picture is of the Chespeake Bay Bridge, which is in Maryland, and the suspect lives in Annandale, so I assume they mean this one.

A man described as a high-ranking operative of the Palestinian militant group Hamas was arrested last week as he videotaped the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Virginia, and he then was held as a material witness in an unrelated case, authorities said.
... A federal grand jury in Chicago, in an indictment unsealed Friday, described Elbarasse as an unindicted co-conspirator in a 15-year racketeering conspiracy in the United States and abroad to illegally finance terrorist activities in the Palestinian territories.


Sounds like they were on to him as the government couldn't bring their case up that quickly.

This gives me some hope that the terrorists are on the run and are making mistakes. It would make a lot more sense, from the terrorist standpoint, to seperate out the people doing surveillance and the support staff. To have someone out in the field that's probably under investigation is poor planning.

So they let him out of jail. Nice. Flashback 1998.

Ismail Selim Elbarasse, 51, an accountant from Falls Church, is in prison in New York for refusing to appear before a grand jury investigating money-laundering. Agents are reviewing the funds handled by Elbarasse, including bank accounts he shared with Marzook. Before he was jailed, Elbarasse worked as comptroller of the Islamic Saudi Academy, a Saudi-financed school under construction in Loudoun County. Elbarasse's lawyer, Stanley Cohen, said his client is "a freedom fighter without a gun," and accused the FBI of running a "witch hunt" to discourage Muslims from sending money to areas under Palestinian control.

Let's get the Islamic terminology straight, once and for all:

Mosque = Terrorist Barracks

Red Crescent Ambulance = Munitions Supply Truck

Radical Muslim = REAL Muslim who follows the Koran

Moderate Muslim = A Trojan horse who quietly smiles and nods his head at the terrorists

Koran = a call to terror, murder, oppression, slavery, misogyny and backward culture

Infidel = all non Muslims and Muslims who are not on jihad (all doomed to die)

Holy Lands = all lands unfortunate enough to be or ever have been under the heavy yoke of Muslim terror, murder, oppression, slavery, misogyny

Islamic Pride = an insanely jealous hatred for every other culture that has left Islam groveling in its own seventh-century dust.

CAIR = Crying Arabic Islamic Retrogrades

Minaret = Satan's Jukebox - or - Howling Hell Tower

Burkha = Misogynistic Mobile Women's Prison

Muslim Chaplin (U.S. Armed Forces) = Turncoat Brigade Recruiter

Rape = something the guys get to do, especially to those hottie infidel chicks! (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

Modern Technology = "Huh? Oh yes, that stuff the evil infidels make and maintain for us to use for to kill them."

Allah = the Moon God, whose most important representative here on earth is that meteorite worshiped in Mecca

Little Boys = a man's pleasure machines

Paradise = a giant rape orgy for you - if you die while ruthlessly murdering innocent unsuspecting infidel women and children

U.S. Armed Forces = things to run away from or kill with booby-traps, unless you can take a cheap shot at them and then hide behind women and children or hide in a Mosque.

Christian Church = firewood

Synagogue = firewood

Buddhist Temple = firewood

Hindu Temple = firewood

Confucian Church = firewood

Jewish Restaurant = Bomb Demolition Depot

Holy Site = anything Muslim, unlike those giant Buddhist statues in Afghanistan that were precious to Buddhists. "We blew those up real good! Heh, heh!"

Truce = a chance to regroup and kill more infidels later

Liberalism = the societal AIDS virus that stops the infidels from fighting Islam off

President John Kerry = The Islamonazi’s great white hope!

More info:

Suspected Hamas Operative Spotted Taping Md. Bridge

POSTED: 1:47 pm EDT August 24, 2004 UPDATED: 2:29 pm EDT August 24, 2004

BALTIMORE -- Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich says the arrest of a suspected high-ranking Hamas operative has prompted him to order more police stationed around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

The suspect, Ismael Selim Elbarasse of Virginia, was arrested last week as he videotaped the bridge. He is currently being held as a material witness in a Chicago terrorism case. He's long been suspected of having financial ties to Palestinian extremists.

Ehrlich says the tightened security now in place should be a reminder that "there is a war going on around the world."

The terror level around the bridge site is "yellow," the third highest.
