SAUDI 'SOLDIER' BY STEPHEN SCHWARTZ IN Alexandria, Va., on Tuesday, a 23-year-old Northern Virginia man of Saudi Arabian background named Ahmed Omar Abu Ali was charged with conspiring to assassinate President Bush. Abu Ali and his accomplices are accused of plotting to kill the president by gunfire or a car bomb. The indictment also spells out such criminal activities as assisting and receiving support from Osama bin Laden's band of murderers. Abu Ali was extradited to Virginia after many months in a Saudi jail. What's most remarkable about this case is the degree to which this would-be assassin is a Saudi creation. In 1999, Ahmed Omar Abu Ali was the valedictorian for the Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA), a K-12 school with campuses in Fairfax and Alexandria, Va., that is directly controlled by the Royal Saudi Embassy in Washington... But Abu Ali is also a familiar figure to U.S. law-enforcement officials and terrorism experts. In mid-2003, federal authorities shut down a Northern Virginia a network of born Muslims and American converts to Islam, headed by convert Randall (Ismail) Royer. Known as the "paintball jihad," the defendants in the case were supporters of Lashkar-i-Taiba, a violent Wahhabi militia fighting against Indian authorities in Kashmir. They practiced for jihad by playing paintball in the woods, went to Kashmir to carry and use weapons, and then tried to explain away their weekend activities near Washington as harmless fun. In April 2004 Royer was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Schwartz was on FOC this morning.
Americans have the right to say: Enough.
We have said "enough" yet nothing happens.
Look at the murder of the Coptic family in Jersey City. "Enough" also applies there. But it seems another white-washing is underway.
The question is "when is 'enough', 'enough' for our government."
Just hang him.
"The U.S. government has the duty to roll up the Saudi-Wahhabi hate conspiracy in this country"
It's long past due
whatever became of the big bust they had over in Merrifield on the Jihad center there, does anyone know? very near my house. Falls Church is a hotbed of jihadists.
Blah blah blah blah blah....
Do you ever do anything besides whine? Just curious.....
In case you hadn't noticed, this time you're busily whining about a terrorist-related arrest. One might almost conclude that the gov't is actually pursuing terrorists. Perhaps you should take up flower arranging?
Talk about your hotbeds of diversity, Northern Va. is loaded with Islamics, Viet Namese , Koreans, Aztec Indians Hispanics of every sort. You name it , they got it.
Bite me, D!ckhead.
Nothing Gracie?
Look at the murder of the Coptic family in Jersey City.
And what makes this such a big deal? Could it be that it's because this sort of thing just doesn't happen all that often?*
*once is too often.
Sadly, I never heard of this expression, so I had to Google it. Found this:
Published: New York Evening Mail (July 10, 1910)These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance." Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds, Tinker and Evers and Chance. Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble, Making a Giant hit into a double- Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble: "Tinker to Evers to Chance."
So I take it to mean that we just scored a double play?
I believe Dark Skies is referring to some of the incidences mentioned in previous threads.. you may have missed this:DS: But it seems another white-washing is underway.
Valin: Could it be that it's because this sort of thing just doesn't happen all that often?*
When the authorities deny terrorism.
(By Daniel Pipes, who comments "I have cited thirteen cases here and provide information on further incidents on my weblog. Why this repeated unease acknowledging Islamist terrorism by the authorities, why the shameful denial?")
And: Who Killed the Jersey City Coptic Family: Robbers? Islamists?
The article over at jewishvoiceandopinion.com is worth taking the time to read thru.
See above post.
Bump for later.
I saw you on Fox and Friends. That was a good analogy that you gave. IMO, Bush has to very,very careful whereever he goes because to many people hate him.
It is the sheetheads that pose the biggest security threat.
Actually, I expressed a very low opinion of the "Who killed..." article, yesterday. You can read the thread.
Sorry about that...you caught me before my second cup...But my whining does include a hope for more action in Jersey City.
How did you know I'm a flower arranger?
