Documents belonging to the sect in Colorado revealed that the [Al-Fuqra] organization was doing surveillance on even more ambitious possible targets, for the purpose of designing an attack to culminate in a major disaster. Among them were the route lines and control stations for the Colorado state petroleum, gas, electric and hydroelectric systems. In addition to this, a member of the group was requested to provide information on National Guard armories, U.S. military installations, police stations, communications control sites, and airports. ---------- "Al Fuqra: Holy Warriors of Terrorism," Anti-Defamation League (pdf), 1993Centers of Al-Fuqra activity are spread across the United States. Certain criminal activities in Brooklyn (NY), Baltimore (MD), Philadelphia (PA), Tucson (AZ), Portland (OR) and Denver, Colorado Springs, and Buena Vista (CO) are being investigated for possible links to the sect by law enforcement authorities. Of particular interest are the Al-Fuqra compounds located in remote areas of the United States. ---------- "Al Fuqra: Holy Warriors of Terrorism," Anti-Defamation League (pdf), 1993
Don’t forget the Beltway Sniper. From the Trial:
Malvo testified. He said Muhammad’s plan was to use the money to create a community in Canada to train 140 children as terrorists to carry out shooting rampages across the country and destroy the economy by killing 10 people a day.
Duh, why is this not counted as terrorism?
