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.

Better post a guard around Nashville-area synagogues, just in case.
We had a nutcase in the Pittsburgh area several years ago, a Caucasian racist, who in one day shot up a synagogue, shot his Jewish neighbor (an elderly lady) whom he targeted specifically because he hated Jews, then he killed four other minorities and wounded three other minorities (Hindus, Asians and Blacks.) He shot up an Indian grocery and a karate studio because there were minorities there. Serving life in prison (it's amazing he didn't get the death penalty).
"It's like living in a crumbling mansion. The foundation is fine, but the termites in the walls and the rats in the basement and attic are destroying everything – sight unseen. Their insidious demolition is carried out persistently and silently, often in darkness and always out of sight.
Ultimately, they'll bring down the house and, when they do, they'll wonder what happened, as the structure collapses around their ears. No matter – they'll go on to another building.
Occasionally, they leave clues to their presence even if their damage isn't immediately seen. There are droppings. There are bits of sawdust. This isn't normal debris to find in corners of a house. Ignore them at great peril. If ignored, a steep price will be paid. If the clues aren't recognized, those rats and termites will destroy everything."

Was he also a registered Demoncrat?
Bump!
Glad they caught the guy!
Oh I think I'm going Jiad, oh I think I'm going jiad, I really think so.
Yep ~ the FBI is doing its job ~ in spite of JF'nK and the reast of the lunatic left ~ Bump!
For awhile there, the FBI acted as if counter-terrorism wasn't in their job description.
Glad they changed their minds on it.
IF Kerry frauds his way into office, you KNOW he's going to cripple and kill every anti-terror agency we have as well as kill every defensive project we are developing.
Roger That ~ I hope the electorate gets the picture!
I'm hoping so too!
His promise the other day, "If elected I WILL stop this program!" should tell everyone that Kerry doesn't have the best interests of the US in mind.
Especially since he turned around and saidthat he'd put nukes in the hands of the Iranians!
Whew! I heard this on the Nashville evening news yesterday and it made my hair stand.
We live in a fairly target-rich area and this guy was living a little too close for our comfort. He apparently had some synagogues in mind but I've no doubt there are others living in TN. who have other targets in mind.
I'm glad they busted this guy before he could hurt or kill anyone. Just hoping the law enforcement agencies are keeping tabs on others of like mind.
Thanks for the pings!!!
Speaking of a free fire zone, I hope this election goes smoothly.
