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.

He sounds like a real nut case that could have done serious damage.

"Expressed animosity," huh? That sounds almost impolite.

Ahmed will likely be put into a state prison...and he will draw attention from day one. My guess is that he won't be living a long life, and will meet some dramtic ending within twelve months.

Another instance of what I would call SIBJs "Spontaneous Independent Baliistic Jihadists". In this case, this one was detected and defused before detonation. I fear there are 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 here and do us harm, and they want to forment just this type of spontaneous response from their "converts" here.

He could have just quietly voted for Kerry and saved himself a lot of trouble.

Indirectly related in a direct manner!

In late 2001 or early 2002.

A lady that worked as a drivers license issuer (Nashville?) and was known (KNOW by Feds) to have issued license to Mid east persons was found murdered in her car.

Bill O'Reilly was on this when it first happened.

All of a sudden it was "hushed" up and locked tight.

Does anyone know what happened??

[I am sure these things are happening all over the US with it being "hushed" up]

It was in Memphis, not Nashville. They hushed up the investigation right away. She was found in a burning car but it was determined she had been killed before the fire.

I believe GailA posted a thread about that incident. Maybe she has a link.

There also was gasoline all over the inside of the car which was inconsistent with the "accident."
