Terrorist plot in Tennessee foiled

Federal authorities arrested an Iraqi-born Nashville resident on illegal weapons charges.

It was after a sting operation that was set up when Ahmed Al-Uqaily (AH'-mad HAH'-sahn al YOO'-quay-lee) told an acquaintance he wanted to "go Jihad" over the war in Iraq.

FBI terrorism agents arrested the 33-year-old Al-Uquaily after he took possession of two disassembled machine guns, four disassembled hand grenades and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Court documents show Al-Uqaily also was interested in getting missiles used to disable tanks.

Authorities said he expressed animosity toward the Jewish community, but did not give specific plans.

Don't be too sure - all Kerry supporters are eligible to vote, even from jail.

Achmed al Ugly... whudda name!

[AmericanMade1776]

egads. The enemy is here and trying to blend in with mullets.

Why do they let these dimwits into the country ? WHYYYY?

[TN4Liberty]

Thinning hair mullet. No wonder he was upset.

Ahmed Al-Uqaily (AH'-mad HAH'-sahn al YOO'-quay-lee)

Now THAT's hilarious. I don't believe I've ever seen an accompanying pronounciation guide in any of the articles I've read about these scum jihadists. Maybe it's a Tennessee thing. :o)

Tennessee SIBJ
"Spontaneous Independent Ballistic Jihadists"
Ahmed Al-Uqaily

Another instance of what I call a SIBJ "Spontaneous Independent Ballistic Jihadists". In this case, this one was detected and defused before detonation. There are most probably many thousands here who need to be either defused or destroyed. I group the two beltway snipers (despite what the MSM may claim their motives were)into the same bunch. Quite frankly, outside of a very few instances, I believe our FLEO's have clearly done a good job thus far preventing more attacks.

You have to know that the hard core terrorists want to get over here and do us harm. They also want to forment just this type of spontaneous response from their "converts" here.

Ever watchful, ever vigilant...stay armed, stay safe, stay free.

Unless he converts fellow disgruntled prisoners to his cause. They recruit in prisons now.

Didn't the republican campaign offices get hit there?

[Jeff Head]

Mullet or no...with a machine gun, some grenades and a willingness to "die for Allah" he could have done some serious damage.

Either we find out about them and defuse them before they get going (as in this case)...or we will end up meeting them on the street with our own weapons and destroying them there.

I personally think it much more likely that we end up with the latter under a Kerry administration. It may end up there anyway.

Radical Islam has people who have infiltrated our borders (like this guy) who are time bombs waiting to go off...they also have quite a number of American "converts" who represent the same danger.

"Didn't the republican campaign offices get hit there?"

That was in Knoxville. It is difficult to find a Republican in Nashville much less a republican campaign office.

[Jeff Head]

I thought those were in Washington DC, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Didn't know that Nashville was hit too.

[ApesForEvolution]

MN was hit too...

[Jeff Head]

These people are going to push this to a shooting war if they keep this type of thing up. Maybe that's their intent. I pray it is not the case (either their intent, or what actually transpires), but liberty must be defended at home and abroad.

It's criminal and exposes their hatred for our Republic and system of government.

TROP? Terrorist Rat on Patrol? Toping Radical Obstinate Pantload?

LMAO re the Pantload.

No, TROP = the religion of peace.

This will of course be the lead story on cBS news tonight...

Authorities said he expressed animosity toward the Jewish community, but did not give specific plans.

All we needed to know is that he was a Muslim.
