Saudi-born US naval engineer allegedly gave undercover agent info on how to sink carrier
Fox News ^ | December 06, 2014

A Naval engineer is facing charges that he gave an FBI undercover agent posing as an Egyptian intelligence officer secret documents about the new Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier while discussing how to sink the vessel with a missile.

Mostafa Ahmed Awwad, 35, of Yorktown, Va., was arrested Friday on an FBI affidavit that reads like it came from a Tom Clancy novel.

Federal prosecutors in Virginia say that during his conversations with the undercover, Awwad arranged to use a dead-drop location along a secluded hiking trail to pass secrets about the Ford, which is being built in Virginia for delivery to the Navy in 2016.

The affidavit says that at a hotel meeting on Oct. 9 Awwad gave the undercover drawings of the aircraft carrier that he said were top secret. During the meeting, "Awwad discussed where to strike the vessel with a missile in order to sink it," the affidavit says.

The FBI undercover was posing as an Egyptian spy named "Yousef" and spoke to Awwad in Arabic.

What is the big secret here? An aircraft carrier is a huge floating metal box housing a nuclear reactor supplying 1920’s technology steam propulsion plant with a large flat roof where planes can take off and land.

The Navy got the USS Gerald R Ford technology by data obtained from sinking the USS America a conventional. To sink the America it took a week of hits even that didn't sink her. She finally went down only after explosive charges that had previously been placed for the specific task were set off. If he obtained that data it compromised all our reserve conventional carriers in mothball and active CVN's as well.

You do realize that the Judeo-Christian values you appear to value and promote actually emerged from the East.

John Walker just died a few months ago so there should be a cell available.

I didn't know that Ivan. Actually it makes my whole day. He should have taken a dirt nap years ago. If anyone knows where he was put in the ground, I am sure there are plenty of people that would like to do "something" on his grave.

Why is DOD giving foreign nationals security clearances like this? Does NOFORN mean anything anymore?

They started doing this during the Clinton administration. I had retired and had become a contractor. My agency was not allowed to hire me as a Govie because they were told they had to hire not only minorities but foreign nationals.

We were working on some really great stuff, all classified and all NOFORN. OPM forced an Indian (call center, not casino)into the position they needed me in.

I just about got acid reflux thinking of all the secrets that have been promulgated far and wide from the White House and other socialist controlled agencies that have promoted muslim outreach.

Clinton gave secrets to China to level the playing field. I can only imagine what Obama has given away. . and to top it off, when it's leaked, "What, I just read about it in the papers, I'm upset, I'm angry, we're going to investigate it and get to the bottom of it." Yeah, right. Good old plausible deniability and the Limbaugh Theorem.

Does anyone really believe that the USS Cole bombers did not have exact intelligence as to where to take their explosives to and detonate? The very place hit that would put it Dead In The Water. We need to be extra careful where we build shipyards {such as UAE cough cough} and who we allow inside them in any capacity civilian or otherwise. The yards is the most vulnerable place for a ship. In port is second most vulnerable. At sea is the safest and most secure place for a ship and the most ready.

LOL!

I don’t care what “color” you are, since you get offended at about everything others post when it comes to culture and race now I see the problem. You take offense, last time I logged in I made sure this wasn’t the DU or the Daily Kos, perhaps that’s a better place for you since you won’t be so easily offended.

And I’m not about to mince words with you. You know damn well what I mean. This country wasn’t founded by Asians (Yellow), nor was it founded by Mestizos or Indians (no I’m not going to call them “Native Americans”) from Mezo-American (Red/brown—whatever).

Nor was this country founded by Browns (Arabs, Indian-Indians, Persians, Mulatto’s, Aborigines, and all the above).

You can try and REWRITE history like commies, but the fact remains that Anglo-Saxon, French Huguenot, Dutch and a few others from what is now Europe created, formed, and fought for this Republic from the beginning.

The subject of the article was an EGYPTIAN employed by our GOV’T was caught sending documents and setting our fleet up for sabotage. I stand by what I said, because folks like that are incompatible with this Republic and everything it stands for.

He is not of Judeo-Christian Western Culture. Therefore, he is incompatible with the values this Republic was founded on. Like the Ferguson “protesters” who are incompatible—do we really need to go there?

Damn shame you get so riled up about a differing opinion, and yes I know mine can burn some a$$es the wrong way, but I don’t care. No skin off my back......

BTW...I’m Hispanic, but you can call me “racist”. LOL!

No they didn’t....Middle East...not EAST.

Everything significant came from the Middle East if you really want to do the digging.

I think I heard somewhere that Muslims don’t consider themselves bound by any oaths other than those related to Islam

I don't consider myself bound by any oaths other than those related to my God -- wouldn't take any others in the first place.

I didn’t serve but have a lot of friends in the submarine community. If you found his grave there would be a long line of them ahead of you.
