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.

This is an opportunity. If he was betraying the US for Islam, it can be argued that Islam is a foreign power - a government. As such, it doesn’t enjoy the benefits of being a religion under 1A.

Soon as that happens, we can start raiding mosques.

Yea it’s nice to so some are still dedicated & loyal to our nation rather than politicians.

Perhaps someone risked profiling by seeing a recent arrival from Saudia Arabia who married a U.S. citizen in Cairo in 2007 and took steps to become an American citizen and got a security clearance in August as a risk.

The fact that he actually got security clearance is what needs investigation now. But when you throw God and His word under the bus then expect to be cut short and suffer His Divine judgment. Coming soon to a country that has and is doing so..

Too gentle.The Iranians do it better....they get a construction crane with a rope attached,put the rope around the neck of the infidel and than raise the rope.The infidel dies slowly and sometimes even does a little dancing as they die (I saw a video featuring that very thing...gruesome).

No joke, we’ve got more than they do. My dad told me in 1997 (when he was working for Chevron) that we’re hitting oil and natural gas pockets here in CONUS, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico that make Saudi’s reserves look like diddly crap. He was right but the EPA and enviralists in the govt. are doing everything they can to blunt it and slow-roll it.

Saudi money is funding a lot of those lobbying efforts, and those Matt Damon anti-fracking movies.

It’s gripes my a$$ how we gave Saudi our finest F-15s (not finest any more, but still AWESOME) and AWACS jets. The F-15 has classified electronic systems, you know that got handed to every communist scumbag around. The AWACS is a billion dollar platform that is packed full of top secret electronics, and we just gave it to them (and you know the Chinese & Russians had it 5 minutes after they did).

We’ve been kissing up to Saudi for decades. Let’s kick those bastards to the curb permanently!

We no longer get as much of our oil from them as we used to. We get a whole lot more from Canada than we get from Saudi Arabia, a lot of the change, was as related to the oil crisis we had when Saudi Arabia’s crisis cut us off from their oil during the 1970s.

After sweating the backline of this dude’s “cell” of agents, and what mosque they go to (be interesting to know if it was the same one in Falls Church)— then a much cheaper bullet to the brain. In a world where treason is dealt with as such.

More pertinent is how does such an “engineer” get the plans (if they were the plans) and better yet, who cleared them for security level to do so. The same questions to be asked of the black murderer at the Anacostia Navy Yard— how he got a clearance in the first place.

Yeah, he and his brother(?) both died within a month of each other at Butner Correctional Fed prison in Butner, NC. Same place Madoff is located. Place is the final medical facility for fed prisoners as well... so implied they had terminal disease. Both were scum, and John Walker— well many in the submarine community alone would have liked a more medieval treatment of him— for the many lives he placed in jeopardy and the exposure of our nuclear deterrent to soviets for... f’n money. A real bag of sheep shiite. He and his swinging kin. One of whom is still somewhere in fed prison— think it’s his son, from the carrier he was on and in their network.

Well, maybe... but really they should have been machine gunned long before getting close enough. Cole did not have anywhere near deck guards or manned boarder repelling crew— which should be on any of our ships in a foreign port.

ie. they rubber boat should have been blasted by 20mm outside the perimeter of buoys.

Well, maybe—keep them on “tap” at local pubs. Not as “engineers” other than horizontal, and no sec-clearance. Run them like they used to in the Hawaii territory b4/during WWII.
With medical checks for “equipment” updates. LOL.

Yes it should have been blasted by a Gunner. Several things were wrong. That and the fact it was two days out from help and in earlier times would have fueled at sea either via a USNS Oiler or a larger USN ship close by. We refueled many a smaller ship at sea.

As far as I know, the son is already out. Whitworth is still in the big house.
