Dry Run? Terror Suspects Arrested With ‘Mock Bombs’

US officials asked Dutch police to detain Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi and Hezam al Murisi at Schiphol airport after they became concerned about "mock bombs" in their luggage. The incident has been described as a "dry run" for a possible terror strike and has drawn comparisons to the Christmas Day bomb plot last year.

How's your relationship with God?

Hesed   August 31st, 2010 - 5:49 am

Well well well.

Just another example of the bigotry/racism of some governments, right?

Nothing surprising though.

Qur'an:9:88 "The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah's Cause."
Qur'an:9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."
Qur'an:9:112 "The Believers fight in Allah's Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed."
Qur'an:9:29 "Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission."
Ishaq:325 "Muslims, fight in Allah's Cause. Stand firm and you will prosper. Help the Prophet, obey him, give him your allegiance, and your religion will be victorious."
Qur'an:8:39 "Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah."
Qur'an:8:39 "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)."
Ishaq:324 "He said, 'Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must have no rivals.'"
Qur'an:9:14 "Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands, lay them low, and cover them with shame. He will help you over them."
Ishaq:300 "I am fighting in Allah's service. This is piety and a good deed. In Allah's war I do not fear as others should. For this fighting is righteous, true, and good."
Ishaq:587 "Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace."
Qur'an:8:65 "O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding."
Ishaq:326 "Prophet exhort the believers to fight. If there are twenty good fighters they will defeat two hundred for they are a senseless people. They do not fight with good intentions nor for truth."
Bukhari:V4B52N63 "A man whose face was covered with an iron mask came to the Prophet and said, 'Allah's Apostle! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first?' The Prophet said, 'Embrace Islam first and then fight.' So he embraced Islam, and was martyred. Allah's Apostle said, 'A Little work, but a great reward.'"
Bukhari:V4B53N386 "Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah alone or pay us the Jizyah tribute tax in submission. Our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says: 'Whoever amongst us is killed as a martyr shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever survives shall become your master.'"
Muslim:C34B20N4668 "The Messenger said: 'Anybody who equips a warrior going to fight in the Way of Allah is like one who actually fights. And anybody who looks after his family in his absence is also like one who actually fights."
Qur'an:9:38 "Believers, what is the matter with you, that when you are asked to go forth and fight in Allah's Cause you cling to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? Unless you go forth, He will afflict and punish you with a painful doom, and put others in your place."
Qur'an:9:123 "Fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you."

These guys are in it not just to take lives but to cripple the airline industry. Next time they will place trigger switches on the luggage so that when it is opened it blow, killing the baggage handlers.

WHat is most disturbing is that these morons are from Detroit. home-grown terrorism.

These guys should get their wish….let them join Allah…the death penalty shoould be in play for these guys, but they will probably be extradited to the US, get an ACLU attorney, and get minimal sentances because it is not against the law to strap watches onto a bottle of Pepto Bismol.

It's time for Odumbo to remind all Americans that we are STILL at war with Radical Muslims. They STILL want to destroy and kill all Americans.

January 10, 2010

To the editor;

Recently the United States suffered yet another attempted act of war from a terrorist acting on the misguided notion of jihad. This particular fellow evaded airport security, then while seated on the aircraft attempted to detonate a bomb in addition to the fuel tank positioned below him. The jihadist’s failure was a result of a lack of preparation; neither his will nor our efforts to keep him off the plane did anything to ameliorate his plans. This jihadist, like many who have attacked this nation in the past, are men educated in mind and not in morals, and as such are a menace to civil society, and must be stopped at any cost. After 30 years of the free world trying to stop various forms of jihad we are no closer to stopping the next attack because the ideology that creates the next radical Islamic terrorist still exists; so long as it exists we will neither have peace nor security – nothing short of a regional war that redraws the boundaries of countries in the middle east will bring us the opportunity of lasting peace. Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan did not alter their evil plans upon the sight of a TSA agent. That said; a small suggestion.

Credit card companies monitor spending behavior to detect fraud. They do this by setting limits based on historic spending patterns, and computers monitor daily transactions to detect purchases that may be fraudulent. For instance, if I make a few small purchases in one geographic area and then drive many miles away and make much larger purchases the credit card company will deny the charge, and request that the merchant verify my identity. Why is it that a credit card company is motivated enough to monitor, successfully detect, and challenge potentially malfeasant behavior? Further, why is it that the Transportation Safety Administration is unable to detect a known explosive attached to the genitalia of a known threat, and is unable to stop future malfeasant behavior? In a word – profit. The credit card company is trying to maintain profits by limiting its losses by devising ingenious ways of detecting fraud to protect that profit, the TSA does not operate for the purpose of profit.

The Transportation Safety Administration has a completely different standard to meet and it must do so by engaging in willful blindness to threats in order to accomplish its mission without raising the ire of the ACLU. Thus, precious security detection resources that could be directed to more plausible threats must be redirected to less likely threats in order to satisfy the politically correct among us. For the same reason my local police department does not set up sobriety check points near our local churches or temples the TSA ought to spend more time looking for the telltale signs of jihad from likely sources. This recent attempt was a no brainer, our security apparatus had everything but a red alert warning from the starship Enterprise before this fellow made it to the airport gate even sans passport; if we can’t stop this guy we can’t stop anyone.

If an airline operated a system akin to my credit card companies in the atmosphere of airport security what would that look like? Might a pre-flight approval system consist of various credentials already in a citizens possession; a system for non-citizens would perform the same function of verification with cross referenced forms of identification, the elimination of the option of using cash to purchase a ticket, and the elimination of purchasing a ticket without being pre-qualified to do so in the first place. In addition, the airline would be responsible for all security; remember the $50 Billion per year TSA could not stop this jihadist, and frankly in a world where people willingly swallow prophylactics filled with narcotics to breech our drug laws, the TSA will not stop the next one; an airline that is one hundred percent responsible for the occupants and operation of the aircraft can and will. They will have the ability to reject people who do not meet their flight criteria identity policy in a way that the TSA is forbidden from by organizations like the ACLU. The profit driven airline can drive the innovation that will be required to detect individuals whose behavior is suspicious even before a ticket is purchased by combing all the data points that separate out frequent travelers from those that have never flown, or are traveling in a manner not consistent with past patterns, and thus require more scrutiny at security checkpoints prior to boarding the plane. In fact much like credit cards issue a FICO score in some future world they may have a central organization for all airlines that compiles this information and issues an “Approved Travel Score.”

JoeDoakes101   August 31st, 2010 - 6:53 am

In closing, it is almost treasonous that after so many kicks to our collective complacency we are still only fighting the last battle, and not the next one. Securing an aircraft is best left up to the airline and the crew of the airplane, and not the federal government. The private airline possesses the incentive to maintain the safety of the airplane that the TSA and the rest of the security apparatus lacks. The federal government lacks the economic incentive to do a quality job, but the private airline is nimble and can evolve the policies and procedures the government is not permitted or politically unable to do. The current setup seems to serve only one purpose – to avoid responsibility for anything at all, in that atmosphere you can bet we are going to lose much more then an airliner in the future. The radical Islamic threat from 1979 to 2010 has grown stronger, and developed a greater reach into the west then our side has developed a defense or plan to defeat; we are fooling ourselves if we think a watch list, that no one even bothers to check, is anything more than a placebo for the cancerous philosophy of radical Islam.

Barry Obama, upon hearing the news, immediately stood up
and gave us a lecture on the constitutional freedoms of
muslims in America, saying they have a right to fly on
our planes and do their various and sundry things they
have freely chosen to do.

kmichaels   August 31st, 2010 - 10:17 am

Apparently you are a new guy in political blogging.
Radical Islam is known as the religion of pieces,
as in liking to blow things up into pieces.

kmichaels   August 31st, 2010 - 10:18 am

The odd thing is how when
you research the history of liberal heros they always
have some sick and twisted foundations.

Charles Darwin was a blatant racist, using junk science to
claim blacks were inferior. His goal was that the
savage races (he listed as blacks and Australian aborigines)
would and should be removed from mankind leaving the
more intelligent races behind.

The judge that gave us the messed up version
of separation of church and state, Hugo Black,
was a high up KKK leader and Democrat,
who was taught that in order to get rid of republican
leaning catholic influence you had to shut down their
freedom of speech.

Margaret Sanger, head and founder of
Planned Parenthood was a eugenics,
a KKK lecturer and a blatant racist.
She introduced birth control and
Planned Parenthood with the strict
purpose of killing black babies.

UB professor predicts House will go to Republicans

A University at Buffalo political scientist with a sterling record of prognosticating presidential elections is predicting that Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will turn over her gavel to the GOP come January.

The presiding Democrats stand to lose about 51 seats in November, says James E. Campbell, professor of political science at UB. His prediction stems from a crystal ball filled with scientific equations based on polling and current events, all pointing to a stunning reversal of fortune for Democrats, who took over the House in 2006.

“After two election setbacks, they are poised for a comeback,” Campbell says of Republicans. “Partisanship, ideology, the midterm decline from the prior presidential surge, the partisanship of districts being defended, and even President Obama’s approval ratings have set the stage for significant seat gains by Republicans in the House.”

BTW, Mooslems can have sex with goats and it is not considered a crime. They are required to slaughter them afterwards and are forbidden to eat them but they can sell them to someone else to eat.

Seems to me, if I walked into a bank and held it up with a fake gun, it wouldn't matter. I would be arrested and charged with bank robbery with the use of the gun. They packed a fake bomb in their suite cases, possibly a dry run. Remember on flight 93 the terrorists used a fake bomb and box cutters to keep passengers at bay. But in the world of the U.S. DOJ and the Obama's administration they did not break the law. Don't jump to conclusions. Worse yet, they were allowed to continue on there flight. No big deal here folks, move along, nothing to see. I for one, will NEVER get on a UNITED FLIGHT again. They put passengers thru hell in Chicago getting on a plane at Ohare International. I have never seen a dark skinned person (usually a pretty women) pulled aside in security. We will see how this is handled. my guess is that we didn't want to arrest them so they could be someone else's problem. Thank you organizer in chief. God help us. Boycott United Airlines

What_what_what   August 31st, 2010 - 2:52 pm

Absolutely false. The government workers (TSA) and security officials were responsible for identifying the potential threat, recalling the plane with the separated luggage and our national security apparatus formally requested that the two individuals be detained and questioned.

The individuals were ALL government workers and under the Obama Administration. You may want to be dishonest because…that's just who you are but credit will go where it is deserved. Especially so since the right wing likes beating up the system that keeps them safe.

You are factually WRONG, IGNORANT or BOTH. And so, I'm afraid it is you who is the retard. You allow your politics to make you a lying fool. How sad.

Tyler520   August 31st, 2010 - 3:29 pm

The TSA put the luggage and the passengers on the aircraft without questioning them – they didn't even bother to put the luggage on the proper flight; it ended up in the wrong city, and federal marshalls had to scramble to track the TSA's f***up. TSA screeners are employed and trained by private agencies subcontracted out by each airport – they are pseudo federal employees at best, and in name only, rarely, if ever, held to any standard…they are idiots to be certain – like each and every civilian federal employee…and Obama didn't have a f***ing thing to do with it
