Woo Hoo! Come to NJ too!
7-11 and 9-11. I knew there had to be a connection. ;-)
Oh, no!
Not Tallulah!
I love that little town.
"Coming to a MS Conv store near you"
I hope not!
This should be pinged to the 'threat matrix' group here on Freepers.
You can have the pleasure.
I don't do matrix or canteen :>)
ping
>>>Seems alot has to deal with cigarettes.
Just like the Lackawanna, Michigan and North Carolina cells.
I used to play Talluah Academy in football.
I suspect this what is happening. LIke I said I know some of the guys in the store in Ruston. This store is owned by some Yemen corporation. The guys work there scrap some stuff on the side and send it back to the store owners under the table. I find it hard to imagine some of these Dorks there are active terrorist.
They're looking for Hawala operations in the stores.
Workings of the Hawala System
The word "hawala" means "transfer" in Arabic. In some contexts, the word "hawala" is used synonymously with "trust," usually to express the personal connection between participants and the informal nature of the transactions.
In essence, Hawala is a transfer or remittance from one party to another, without use of a formal financial institution such as a bank or money exchange, and is, in this sense, an "informal" transaction. There are several other common aspects to Hawala.
First, in most cases, Hawala transactions go across international lines, such as with worker remittances to their home countries.
Second, Hawala usually involves more than one currency, although again this is not absolutely required.
Third, a Hawala transaction usually entails principals and intermediaries.
To accommodate requests of the principals, the intermediaries usually take financial positions. Later, much as in the case of conventional banking practices, these transactions will be cleared amongst the units to balance their books.

Facts are Facts.
Wow, those of un in Vicksburg are practically a stone's throw from Tallulah. My wife is convinced at least one c-store here is a cover joint.
