Via suspects discussed alternative plans to poison air/water to kill up to 100,000 people

Ahmed Abassi, a Tunisian citizen who previously lived in Canada, has been charged with two counts of knowingly making false statements in an application to immigration authorities for a green card and work visa, in order to facilitate an act of international terrorism.

"As alleged, Mr. Abassi came to the United States to pursue terrorist activity and support others in the same shameful pursuit. What Mr. Abassi didn't know was that one of his associates, privy to the details of his plan, was an undercover FBI agent," said FBI assistant director-in-charge George Venizelos in a statement.

Authorities arrested Abassi at New York's JFK airport on April 22, the same day Canadian law enforcement nabbed Chiheb Esseghaier, of Montreal, and Raed Jaser, of Toronto.

In its release, the U.S. Department of Justice alleges Abassi was responsible for radicalizing Esseghaier and met with him in New York City after travelling to the U.S. in mid-March. It is unclear where Abassi lived in Canada or how long he was there.

In recorded conversations with Esseghaier and the undercover FBI agent, Abassi allegedly talked about his desire to commit terrorist acts in the U.S. and other countries and his intention to provide support to terror organizations including an al-Qaida affiliate based in Iraq called the al-Nusrah Front.

It's also alleged he had plans to recruit others to his cause.

Court documents released by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York describe how Abassi and Esseghaier worked to hatch the alleged plan including that "the defendant noted that he had suggested an alternative plot -- contaminating the air or water with bacteria in order to kill up to 100,000 people -- but that Esseghaier was dismissive of that plan."

The Department of Justice only unsealed Abassi's indictment Thursday.

If your expecting to be out of power for such a long time then perhaps you should look toward a solar panel with a battery.

I understand that bankrupt SOLYNDRA is having a fire sale on solar panels. If you pose as a Democrat, you can buy one and get one free.

It’s certantly a good idea to pose as the enemy in extracting back what ever stolen resources they might have taken and then whatever else you can get to take advantage of their foolishness.

A lot of conservative look down upon that practice. I do not. I think if we are going to collapse the leftist dilutions we have to stop playing respectful of them. If they want to be foolish and give away money let them give it to us rather than their friends. The less we take the more their foolishness pays off to their supporters.

Did you note that power plants are on my list?

Betcha use an electric pump.

*******************************************************

Yes, but for around 30 bucks you can buy a long narrow bucket that you can use to draw water up out of the well the old fashioned way - using man power.

And if you happen to have a generator, you can wire that to run the pump.

I haven't.

I'm more worried about cabbies. The night the Vietcong took over Huế, they were able to round up every single government official, march them into the jungle and kill them.

They knew exactly where they lived, who they visited, where they shopped and where they ate dinner, and when.

How?

The cabbies had provided the data on their every move for years in advance.

Soooo, where do most of the cabbies in your berg come from? In Washington DC, it's Somalia...

Just because we've forgotten the lessons of Huế and the lessons of the Sapoy Rebellion's "The Perfect Day" (scrubbed from Wiki, by the way) doesn't mean our enemies have.

Funny, I remember getting into some cabs in San Diego that were piloted by slavic sounding drivers...

I guess it was kinda an obvious posting for them as it was easy pickings for intel and chatter if the fares talked too much...

According to the only American cabbie we had on our last trip to DC, the fares will chatter away about the most sensitive information as if they were alone in the cab.
