Tonight I was watching the news from St. Louis. The had a story on about how an Iraqi was arrested in rural Missouri today. He was on a gravel road and had 2 stolen cars and a U-haul with him. He was acting odd and someone happened to notice him and called police. They also found on him a money wire receipt for $25,000 that he sent to Iraq. He claimed he was from Dearborn, MI and he kept changing his story of why he was in Missouri. He was also a soldier in the Iraq war.
His name is Nazar Malla (I got two hits on him when I googled his name, one includes a picture of him that matches up with the guy they showed on the news tonight. The picture was taken in Dearborn, MI during the Iraq election)
The area they caught him in is very rural and there are no Arabs living in this area so he of course would stick out big time. They busted him near Irondale, MO.
The FBI now has him in custody.
I wonder what he was up to?
Was he stealing cars and then selling them for cash to send to Iraq?
Who was he wiring the money to in Iraq?
$25,000 USD is alot of Dinar's
Hook him up to a compressor and inflate a bit.
Nothing here, move on. /sarcasm alert!
Nothing to see in missouri. Nothing of strategic significance. He must have been passing through to Arkansas.
Where in MO did they catch him??? Not down by Springfield, where they have the truck school with all the muzzies, I hope?
The guys name isn't Hussain Al-Hussaini by any chance, is it?
Well, I suppose it is possible that he is just a crook...
'Stealing cars that Americans won't steal'... (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
But I imagine they will find some baathist and/or Al Quaeda emails on his computer, or something like that.
From the MSM? Yes. "Nothing to see here, folks. Just keep moving along."
I wonder what he was up to?
Why does the phrase "No good" come to mind?
It ain't over. And the fat lady (no offense to "svelte-challenged" ladies like me) hasn't even begun to flex her vocal chords yet.
Be aware and stay alert.
Of course.
Well, even more reason to inflate - he will surely spill the beans and tell everything.
u took the words right out of my mind..lol
'Stealing cars that Americans won't steal'...
This story is indeed significant...I wonder if this will lead to a cell
"svelte-challenged"
LOL...That's a new one on me. :-)
Any farm supply stores selling ammonium nitrate in the area?
WASHINGTON -- The FBI's counterterrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering that some of the vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to senior government officials.
Saying this area is rural is an understatement. This is literally the middle of nowhere. Very very weird.
Interesting, and I'll bet we hear very little more about the arrest of this Iraqi in Missouri. The FBI are not a talkative bunch in situations like this.
the road was a gravel road, probably some farmers access road.
