The FBI also announced a month ago that 60 Taliban had snuck across the Texas border en route to Ft. Huachaca.

A link for that? Fort Huachuca is hundreds of miles to the west of Texas in southern Arizona.

This is from a pulled thread from 5/14.

I have no clue. It’s not classified. If it was, our Marine friend wouldn’t have told us. The watch commander told him it was not classified, but that they were on full alert. And it was in some media outlets, just not heavily like it should be. This is why they said it was pulled:

LLSS, other than the fact that it’s not classified! If you find a thread where it’s discussed, please let me know. My post is below. Thanks.

Yanked post:

Is there any new imformation about the 60 some Afghani Taliban terrorists that the FBI says crossed the Mexican border into Texas in order to covertly get to Fort Huachuca on the Mexican border with Arizona to launch an attack? A friend of my wife’s is a Marine MP stationed there and confirmed it. He said the south side of the base on the Mexican border has a large wall so an attack there from Mexico would be near impossible, so it made sense that they would try to cross into the U.S. and attack the base from the other directions. He also told her that the base was put on full alert late Friday night when the FBI briefed the base commander informing him about these terrorists. They’re supposedly armed with RPGs and machine guns, etc..

I may be remembering incorrectly, but isn’t Fort Huachuca also a large listening and intelligence gathering base? I seem to recall that it was used to monitor a lot of satellite, cell, land line, and internet communications. If that’s true, it would certainly make sense why terrorists would want to attack that base, though it seems pretty foolish, since even 60 men isn’t enough to take a U.S. military installation. They’d be wiped out in pretty short order.

This didn’t get any media play that we saw, but I called one of the Houston TV stations and they said it was on some of the evening and cable news broadcasts. Have there been any updates? We haven’t spoken to her friend since Saturday night when he told us about it. The shocking thing is that even this would not change the minds of opponants of a border wall. The lazy stupid retard gene runs strong and it runs deep for certain. If there is a thread with updates about this can someone please direct me to it? Thanks.
