Exclusive: FBI Video Shows Al Qaeda in Kentucky Handling Heavy Weapons
ABC ^ | Nov 20, 2013 | By James Gordon Meek

Posted on 11/20/2013 8:06:11 PM PST by Jet Jaguar

An al Qaeda-linked terrorist, who was resettled in the U.S. as an Iraq War refugee after allegedly killing American soldiers, was caught on camera in Kentucky handling heavy weapons that the FBI said he believed would be sent to insurgents back in Iraq. The 2010 video, obtained exclusively by ABC News, was part of a broader ABC News investigation into the flawed refugee vetting program, which officials said may have let “dozens” of terrorists into the country.

In the video, Waad Ramadan Alwan is seen expertly field stripping what the FBI identified as a Russian PKM machine gun. Other still images provided by the FBI from hours-worth of surveillance footage show Alwan and an accomplice, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, handling a Stinger missile launcher and a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher.

An FBI agent assigned to the sting operation that captured the video told ABC News that Alwan had bragged to an informant about killing American soldiers in Iraq. “He said he had them ‘for lunch and dinner,’” FBI Louisville Supervisory Special Agent Tim Beam said.

The FBI said that beyond sending the arms back to extremists in Iraq, Alwan spoke of targeting a specific American soldier in the U.S. and possibly attacking other homeland targets.

At least when they said it was a PKM, it was actually a PKM, but those are darn rare in this country.
Even the semi auto versions are rare.

However, the muzzie mosques network with each other and co-ordinate activities, and are actively funded by millions of followers, many who are wealthy, not to mention petrodollars from the Middle East being channelled for just this. Letting a terrorist fighting force sprout root and establish itself in the name of freedom of religion is a big blunder.

Perhaps, but the Feds seem to think they are shipping this stuff to the ME.

Which is why I have not spent a nickle in a muzzie shop since 2001.

It makes sense because the goal of this op was a twofer:

1. Bust an AQ guy

2. Provide fodder for the fiction that the 2nd amendment is a threat to the *non US* world.

That was also the goal of fast and furious.

And that truly would be like shipping ice to Alaska, or something similar.

But again, nobody said rabid jihadists were totally logical. Ah, we will score one for our Moongod!

I’ve never seen a “muzzie shop.” Sometimes there have been Middle Eastern shop keepers. Sometimes they were Christians or some other non Islamic faith, and you couldn’t tell by looking.

Anyhow, the impact of a gospel Christian is in what he blesses, not in what he curses.
