By now, you've probably read the news that the three Palestinians caught in Caro, Michigan with 1,000 TracFone cellphones are involved in a plot to blow up Michigan's Mackinac Bridge (it connects both Michigan peninsulas). Mackinac Bridge site here.
But here's what you didn't read:
Sources tell DebbieSchlussel.com that the men are from Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the group that works in concert with HAMAS in performing homicide bombings in Israel. The group once even considered merging with HAMAS, at the time that it was headed by University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian, a founder of the group. Maybe now sleepy Americans will awaken to note that Palestinian terrorism is not just Israel's problem. It's America's.
Sources say the plot was uncovered because law enforcement personnel observed two or more other men videotaping the Mackinac Bridge.
Mackinac Bridge (Peninsulas Bridge, Michigan)
Sources also say that it is very unlikely the men could have succeeded in blowing up the Mackinac Bridge--even with the chips from 1,000 phones for 1,000 bombs--as it is several miles long (it's the world's third longest suspension bridge). At a total length of 26,372 feet, the steel structure can support 38,486 tons of weight and is very, very strong and fortified. The sources say that, likely, the plan would have succeeded in bombing cars driving on the bridge, but not bringing the structure down

Three Palestinian Islamofascist terrorists who plotted to blow up the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan. They could never have brought down the world's third longest suspension bridge with a 1,000 rigged Tracphone explosives wired to the bridge. But they could killed a lot of people driving over it. Thank God they were caught and their evil plot was stopped cold!

Wonder what those "sources" say about the potential of suicide bombers blowing up among the 50 or 60 thousand bridge walkers on the holiday?

I think three men working to wire 1,000 cell phone triggered IED's to the bridge would probably have been noticed. Maybe they were going to pose as painters while doing their evil deed.

Even though according to Michael Moore, there is no domestic terrorism, this is right near his summer place.

Islam is the problem.
Death is the cure.

Somewhere in a thread yesterday, Freepers were discussing the Labor Day Walk across this bridge. Apparently, 65,000 people -- families, kids in strollers, etc. will walk across the bridge on 9/4/06. Perhaps what these evil punks had planned was to set off bombs during the event, causing panic and fear.

No one seems to be mentioning in any of these articles that there is a celebration Labor Day weekend in which Thousnads of Pedestrians will be WALKING the Mackinac Bridge. A series of well Placed IED's would create carnage and mass chaos in that scenario.

I heard that they were from Texas, but I didn't hear how long they'd lived there. Just wondering about the "home-grown" label. Do you have more information about where they were born?

FOXNEWS right now is doing a segment on this and headline that they are 3 Palestinians living in Texas...unlike NBC NEWS which said only "3 men from Texas".
And they wonder why the MSM is sucking the tailpipe.

They don't look like Texans.

"3 men from Texas" No doubt named Jim Bob, Rusty, and Bubba. Probably Southern Baptists to boot.

Almost too horrible to contemplate.
To: goldstategop
If they're homegrown, they have committed treason and should be hanged ASAP.

Can't imagine being way out in the middle of this bridge with bombs going off. Wow.

Did Granholm really say that? Could she be THAT stupid?

I see two people in your photo who could just as easily be packing explosives in their fannypacks.
I agree that the danger was to the Labor Day crowd...and more so now that I see that these guys are connected with the suicide bombing contingent.
