FBI Launches Counterterrorism Probe After East Texas Arrest (TROP™ plot to rob and kill rich Jews)

Tyler, TX – A virtually unnoticed federal arrest here this Spring of a well-educated Pakistani man caught trying to buy illegal silencers, firearms and C-4 explosives has set off a nationwide FBI counterterrorism investigation, CBS-11 has learned.

The investigation centers on whether Osama Haroon Satti, 35, came to Tyler on behalf of a terrorist cell hoping to arm for a plot to rob and murder wealthy Jews and other non-Muslims on the West Coast, sources familiar with the FBI investigation tell CBS-11. Satti is currently in federal custody on charges of buying an illegal silencer and handgun.

Federal prosecutors connected to the case have declined to comment.

Satti has remained tight-lipped so far with investigators who, sources tell CBS-11, are urgently seeking answers about his stated plans to buy explosives along with up to 20 more silencers capable of firing 100 bullets each before wearing out.

Satti, who currently lives in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Falls Church, Va., did not respond to a CBS-11 request for comment as he was being led away in chains after a recent court appearance in Tyler.

His public defender, Greg Waldron, declined interview requests, in deference to the continuing FBI investigation. He noted only that his client has pleaded not guilty.

The FBI's investigation searching for any possible ties between Satti and foreign terror groups has expanded nationwide since a federal sting ensnared him March 8 inside a Tyler Hampton Inn Hotel room for buying an illegal handgun and silencer, CBS-11 News has learned.

Of course, the liberals can no more admit the so-called 'rightwing terrorists' they decry can work with associated with the antisemitic Islamic terrorist groups the left champions anymore than they can admit that a secular Iraq can work with Islamic fundamentalist al Qaeda... or Timothy Mcveigh & Terri Nichols could work with groups similar to Abu Sayyaf.

So let's just move along here, nothing to see... the two cases cannot possibly have anything in common.

At this point it's still a stretch to connect Krar with Satti but what is it with Tyler, TX?

Well now, that's interesting.

[DeFault User]

Just how big is Tyler, Texas?

About 80,000 population, it's halfway between Dallas and Shreveport. Freeper Cathryn Crawford is there.

Let's take a look at this thread which was started on May 11, 2004 on the board you pointed out Piasa.

Thanks for the ping.

N. Virginia seems to be as infested with al Qaeda, al Fuqra, NOI Snipers and other Islamofascist trash as Oregon and Washington are.

San Jose is in N. California. That would be the only relationship. This POS is more like the former Intel Terrorist Hawash in the Beaverton/Portland area.

San Jose has the same left wing PC mental illness that Portland, Oregon has of loving Islamofascists and La Raza Terrorists and hating conservatives.

[Grampa Dave]

You have nailed another reality of the lunatic liberal insanity:

The liberals can no more admit the so-called 'rightwing terrorists' they decry can work with associated with the antisemitic Islamic terrorist groups the left champions anymore than they can admit that a secular Iraq can work with Islamic fundamentalist al Qaeda... or Timothy Mcveigh & Terri Nichols could work with groups similar to Abu Sayyaf.

Thanks for the link - sure is hard to follow posts on that board. Did you find anything interesting in his posts? Thank Heavan for FR! (Nite Nite bump)! '-)

[piasa]

Thanks- that's a pretty good-sized town then.

I did come by this among his posts, which for whatever reason is - at least apparently if he or the website didn't modify the date- was posted by him long after the meeting was to take place. Seems kind of odd to post an invite after the fact :

Dear brothers and sisters:

Assalaamu Alaikum;
We are passing through turbulent times after the tragic incidents at New York and Washington DC. There are rising hate crimes against Muslims. There is an impending war against some Muslims countries and Israel got free hand to suppress and mute Palestinians as the world attention has shifted from Israel/Palestinian conflict to terrorism control. What should be our response in this situation?

Please come to discuss these issues in a meeting on Sunday, September 16, 11:00 AM at Chandni Restaurant, 5748 Mowry School Rd. Newark. There will be no long speech from anyone but everyone will have an opportunity to speak.

There will be no-host lunch for about $10 per person.

Many strange doin's in one area.

Tyler is where the people(Krar,Bruey)lived that had a stash of chemical weapons,arms,etc. in Noonday,which is close to Tyler near Lake Palestine.

David Koresh's bunch nearly built their Church on property near Palestine and Koresh's mother still lives on the place,IIRC.

Also,Cedar Creek Lake is not too far from Lake Palestine and a group of people(anti-gov?)are holed up on their land there,near Gunbarrel City.

I am too afraid to consume anything while on the computer. 2 ruined keyboards taught me that.

I'll bring the Twister game

Just make sure it is the "rap DJ" version that the kids got for Christmas!

Try a keyboard cover (or some cling wrap)

Aha! A sleeper! Quick - shoot him. We can't? Rats.

Thanks for the info! As a good muslim he has to mention Israel as a baddie but this and other posts don't paint him as an extremist. Could be bad news - using code ala wolves in sheep's clothing?

[B4Ranch]

no food or drinks on your desk! Blaming poor LoudRepublicangirl for your uncontable laughter is shameful.

Now apologize and admit that the damages are a result of your not following the desktop rules.

Ping.

Put some panties on his head and take his picture. I'll bring the Twister game and the dog leash!

That's not even funny. How can you even mention such brutal acts of torture, you evil Nazi!
