2 Suspected Al Qaeda Agents Dropped in for Meal, says Denny's Manager (Avon, CO-Heading West..BOLO!)
Denver Post ^ | May 28 2004 | Jim Kirksey

Posted on 05/28/2004 12:02:52 PM PDT by corban

The FBI office in Denver has received 'numerous' calls about the seven people believed to be associated with Al Qaeda pictured Wednesday in the newspapers.

Samuel Mac, manager of the Denny's in Avon Co., said two men-he subsequently identified from their photographs as Adnan G. El Shukrijumah and Abderrauof Jdey-came into his Denny's which is just off Interstate 70, Wednesday about 8PM.

One ordered a chicken sandwich and a salad, the other just a salad, Mac said. They were demanding, rude and obnoxious, he said.

They said they were from Iran and were driving from New York to the West Coast.

Monique Kelso, spokswoman for the Denver FBI office said they had recieved at least a dozen calls about the pictures.

Corban, welcome to FR. What an interesting first post.

You're already in the Bible, did you know. Your name is explained here: Sometimes I am asked why the name Corban? . --(Mark 7:11)

the Mormon fundamentalist murderers, Jim Jones

Lol. I don't know if you are saying in #82 that both Manson and Jones were Mormon fundamentalist murderers, or just Jones. But truth is, neither was a Mormon of any stripe. Trust me on this and check your facts. Just meant to be a friendly suggestion, not criticism.

If the FBI didn't want citizens calling about these men, maybe they shouldn't have bothered to post their pictures.

Frankly the FBI seem to be damned near useless. Have they done anything right in the last ten years?

I think the reference is to the Allreds(?) as a separate group.

"I think so. FR can be very brutal to newcomers.
"

Only a few Freepers are that way. Most remember that they were newcomers once, too, and try to cut newbies some slack, especially if they make a great post like this one.

But then, there are those who just have nothing at all to say, so they post meaningless references to the date someone sighed up. Phooey on them!

I looked at th map, Interstate 70 goes to 15, which goes S.W, straight into Los Angeles. Quite a plausible destination for the terrorists.

You know, the practice of stating a person's sign-up date, especially if one doubt his/her credibility, is rude...or maybe you were proud of corban's first post?

Cicero, unfortunately I think alot of that has to do with the federal employee "I can't be fired, no matter how incompetent" union mind set. It's rampant.

And how did the "We're from Iran" work its way into the conversation?

Also goes straight through Las Vegas. Alternatively, they could take I-15 north once they hit it and go through SLC, Boise, and then on to Portland and Seattle. They could also take I-84 west out of SLC and head to San Francisco (though that's not a direct route by any means). I-70 will put you pretty much right into a route to any of the major cities on the West Coast.

IF this is a credible sighting, this guy should be able to provide good IDs (i.e., facial hair, length of hair, clothing), and stuff like that. This should be publicized because both I-70 and I-15 are huge trucking lanes. Tell all the truckers to be on the lookout for two mid-eastern looking guys driving a car with out of state plates (if they drove from NY), and put the same info up at major rest stops and truck stops all along I-15. It would be pathetically easy to give every UHP and CHP officer a stack of 15 BOLO signs and have them hit every reststop on their route. You'd have the whole state covered in 5 hours.

Eunice Stone Syndrome: the terrorists will be tearfully interviewed by Larry King next week, and those who tipped off the authorities will be painted as racists.

the FBI might downplay the sighting to keep the perps overconfident.

After reading this story and all the posts, I am amazed that few have taken a legitamte interest. The main topic seems to be if someone is new the post can not be of any importance. Why do most not believe that these two men could have been sighted in Colorado?

I got similar treatment almost immediately after registering here, about six years ago.

Unflamed metal is too mushy to last on Free Republic.

I welcome this former lurker and now new member, Colban ,(I hope I spelled that right) who sounds like our kind of people to me.

No, he was discussing three separate events.
