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.

And the permanently free republic is the Kingdom of Heaven. What we try to do is get it reflected down here as much as the conditions of a mortal coil make it possible. America got its independence, and a strong kick start, flaws and all, due to gospel power. And the devil tells people oh ho hum, that’s boring stuff. When God is the coolest thing around since... well since anything.

“John McCain is with the grassroots against Rand Paul”

Say what? John McCain is with the grassroots? What? I cannot imagine what you are talking about. More input please.

Obama’s army concerns me.
Look at the lock down is Boston.

In the end it was a common citizen that got Tsarnev, but Obies Army had the citizens on lock down.

Gee, those beloved Mooslims can have training camps, and don’t get bothered!

But, let it be known that the Klan has a training camp, and the FBI gets all twisted in their Pampers!

They’ve been around a bit longer than that. Some date back to the early ‘80s or late ‘70s.

There are more rednecks with machine guns in Kentucky than there are Al Queda.

True story, from a small town in KY, a few years back. I'll call it "Hillvalley" for anonymity. To paraphrase:

The local bank was robbed in broad daylight. The story made the nearest large town's TV Station's website. In the website story, local L.E. were said to be looking for the robber, "a male, dressed in camoflauge and driving a large red Ford pickup truck". In the reader comments, it was pointed out that this described most of the men in "Hillvalley". The robber was never apprehended.

It's not just men, either. One of my wife's "cute little Filipina" friends in W. KY very recently sent my wife a pic on Facebook of her (the friend), in full hunting attire, sitting astride a large buck she'd shot a couple hours before.

“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.”

I wish that people would keep this in mind. I have friends from the ME and they are Christians who had to leave.

It was a joke. McCain was with the natural conservative Arab muslim immigrants of Kentucky and Rand Paul is in his Ivory tower in DC.

I think this was actually the last time Rand Paul was strong on immigration. He put a hold on a nominee while there was an investigation to the approval of the Arabs settling in Kentucky.
