Excerpt below is from the external link on the FR thread:
Russians with 105 pre-paid cell phones draw attention of police
>>Charges filed in Monterey; Homeland Security contacted
Two Russians arrested in Monterey last week in possession of 105 pre-paid cell phones may have been the same pair who attempted to purchase the inventory of cell phones at a Crossville business earlier in the month.
Stanislav Legkunets, 19, of Belleville, MI, and Konstantine Mkbitarian, 47, of Romulus, MI, were taken into custody by Monterey Police after an incident at the local Family Dollar Store on E. Commercial Ave. in Monterey. The two told authorities they are natives of the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
According to receipts found inside the vehicle, the 105 cell phones had been purchased at various locations in Kentucky and Tennessee. In addition to the phones, police also found a Dell laptop computer and $6,000 in cash.
The TBI and city detectives were notified of the local incident.
So far, there has been no response or comment from Homeland Security officials.<<
Thanks Cindy. Quite a few curious situations lately.
Well that’s interesting, thanks KylaStarr.
To clarify my above post...
The Monterey mentioned in the news article is Monterey Tennessee. Monterey TN is located about halfway between Nashville and Knoxville.
Seems to me there’s been other activity down in this area of TN but I can’t recall if any of it was related to these cell phones.
Interesting that they deemed it necessary to travel all the way to Kentucky and Tennessee from Michigan just to buy cell phones. IIRC, the ones who purchased all units around here were also from Michigan.
Perhaps they just wanted to take in the “Grand Ole Opry”.
Duly noted Kyla Starr and I thank you.
I added your info to our ongoing cell-phone thread here, too:

Excerpt -
TUNCELI, Turkey, June 23 (Reuters) - Two Kurdish militants rammed an oil-filled truck into a Turkish police station on Saturday in a suicide attack, army sources said, marking a sharp escalation of separatist violence.
After the explosion other members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) attacked the station in the eastern province of Tunceli and the army responded with an operation supported from the air, the sources said.
The two militants in the truck were killed but no further details were available on the death toll.

Swiss trial convicts two Muslims accused of supporting terror on Internet
Six-months sentences. What will they do when they get out?
From the Associated Press (thanks to Steve):
A Swiss court on Thursday convicted two Muslims for supporting a criminal organization by running Web sites that posted statements from al-Qaida-linked groups and showed executions.
The main defendant, Moez Garsallaoui, a Tunisian, was sentenced to six months in prison and given an additional 18 months suspended. Malika El Aroud, widow of an al-Qaida suicide bomber, received a six-month prison sentence suspended for three years....
The two were accused of running Web sites that supported terrorists and gave details of how to make bombs and carry out attacks. They were detained in February 2005 during anti-terror raids in two Swiss cantons, or states, the Federal Criminal Court said.
The suspects, who are now married to each other, were released on bail after their initial detention and had moved to Belgium.
