SAN ANTONIO, Texas Three men with Arab names were charged Tuesday with making terrorist threats after allegedly telling a stripper at a topless bar they intended to blow up military bases in San Antonio.
According to a police report obtained by WOAI radio under the Texas Open Records Act, the men were "very serious" and said they were "having a good time and spending our money just like our others did before 9-11."
Some of the Sept. 11 terrorists spent the week before the attacks in a topless bar in Florida.
Patrolman Al Ballew said the three men, identified by police as Jadallah Abdallah, 21; Matram Sayez Hijaz, 20; and Rabhi Abdalla, 25, were paying "large amounts of money" to a stripper for private dances.
Abdallah and Abdalla gave addresses in San Antonio, although Abdalla claimed he was from "the West Bank." Hijaz gave police an address in Mesquite, a Dallas suburb.
Police confiscated a brown paper bag from Abdalla containing "several names and numbers and vehicle keys," as well as 21 gold and platinum credit cards. They also confiscated three Texas driver's licenses from Abdalla.
Officers also found a road map of Florida in the men's car, as well as "envelopes written in Arabic."
Federal Charges Unlikely!
Mark Rich, an FBI spokesman in San Antonio, said the men were questioned by agents, and he said they were "very interested" in the comments they made, but he told WOAI that federal charges were unlikely.
The men were being detained for the Immigration and Naturalization Service and were facing state charges of making terrorist threats. They were held in the county jail in lieu of $2 million bond apiece.
Officials could not confirm if the names given were the men's real names, if they are Arabs, or whether Hijaz really was from the West Bank. Their car was registered in North Carolina.
The manager of the topless club declined to comment.
BLOAT !
As always, a FReep mail will get you on or off this Houston topics ping list.
Western women are like candy to Arab men. They drool visibly. Then, in the next breath, they call them "whores and pigs!" Very dysfunctional.
Mohammaded Atta redux?
Guess they were making their Haj to the house of hooters, sort of a dress rehersal for the 72 virgins.
StrippyMom(TM)Undercover Crimescene Investigations....sounds like a hit tv show.
Ho, hum -- just another jihadi sunrise.
Investigating identity theft, credit fraud and immigration fraud will put a stop to this. But these are the prudential steps that our own gov't refuses to take. Instead they would rather feel up grannies at airports and have eye scanning like in Minority Report.
Well, now you have done it! I bet some Hollyweird Liberal lurker here who works part-time as a screen writer has already stolen your idea!
I bet he is already trying to cast the girl who plays in Buffy the Vampire Slayer to act in the part for StripperMom (TM).
"Coming this Fall--to ABC! Stripper Mom--the Terrorist Slayer! By day, she is a mild-mannered Sunday School teacher. By night, watch out, because as the clothes come off....the terrorists get turned on! And boy, does she have a surprise waiting for them!

2 mil bond is a little high for the standard "terroristic threats" already on the books...hopefully, Texas laws INCLUDE a special provisian for the threat of TERRORISM, as well as the standard 'torroristic threats" charge.
BTW, what's with the mispellings of the perps' names?
Man, at first I thought this was clintoon's pardon recipient Marc Rich, lol!
I thought maybe clintoon got him a job over here to boot!
The Muslims hate us for our immoral ways don't you know.
I wonder where we will recruit these patriotic women? Clinton will surely volunteer to screen applicants.

Hello??!! McFly??!! Military bases are FEDERAL property!
Jeesh!! Where does the FBI get these guys, at the rent-a-cop agency?
Stay Safe !
