"The vehicle license number was "suspicious," court documents said."

Yawwwwwwwnnn

Doesn't look like he's too credible:

"Wagner was convicted in California in 1988 of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, court documents said. He was being held without bail. "

He also explained away what the cops found. This "story" looks like he is looking for some mercy and attention.

There is another thread on this here (Threats, weapons disclosed at hearing). That link, from Omaha, has more info. It includes info about Wagner and his wife's talk of killing the LEO's. (They were recorded whilst in the law's car.)

This is getting picked up in many places. A yahoo news search yields a couple dozen links it seemed. Most of them include the fact that the perp is Muslim scum, but some choose to leave that part out. Here are a few of the links:

Night scopes for rifles are very expensive. So are good night vision goggles. Anybody might have some old kevlar, and even felons sometimes have pistols and a bag of ammunition. Add in the gentleman's specific religious persuasion, though, and the materials on aircraft piloting: this incident looks like "we" caught a sabateur or enemy operator.

Did you catch the last sentence of the article?

Worth repeating:

>>Wagner was convicted in California in 1988 of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, court documents said. He was being held without bail. <<<

Good info on this article at post 31

Yep.
I already have 2 good links posted on my site.
I'm doing my updates now, while shamelessly
websurfing.

Now, I wonder why I am behind?

Can't be true about the mosques and stuff cause Islam is a religion of Peace.

I bet you will see 10,000 muslims in San Diego march protesting Osama tomorrow.

So far I've seen nothing about the gentleman's specific religious persuasion

Or maybe caught some pathetic deluded Walter Mitty "alert-American" nutcase trying to feel important.

--- Snip from Omaha Article follows ----

His attorney, Angela Campbell, said the items found in Wagner's vehicle weren't illegal for average citizens to own and suggested that Wagner and his wife, Linda Maguire, were targeted because they are Muslim.

Books written in Arabic, including the Koran, along with hundreds of pages printed from the Internet on the Iraqi war and terrorism, were found in Wagner's vehicle.

Wagner and his wife, who was at the court hearing, are both Muslim converts. Wagner and Maguire married in a Muslim ceremony, but they are not legally wed. They have a 9-year-old son together.

Everyone: I'm joining this party late, so if the following articles are already in your head, forgive my insult to your work. I did quick searches here on FR.com and did not see them posted.

Note these articles are all from July 15th and 16th

2 in Custody after Device Found
excerpt from this article:

Two people are in custody after law enforcement officials said they found a bomblike device in the couple's SUV.
The Joint Terrorism Task Force was called into help, which includes the Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms, and Explosives, and the FBI, was called to help.

Man is not on Terrorism Watch List

excerpt from this article:

Michael Wagner is under arrest for being a felon in possession of a firearm and giving false information. Iowa state troopers said they found a gun, a bulletproof vest and night vision goggles in the San Diego man's pickup truck.
Wagner said he was unfairly detained.
The FBI said he's not on a national terrorism watch list because no such list exists. However, the bureau said he could be on a local list in California.

Man Charged after Device Found in SUV

hack job excerpt from this article:

A man taken into custody Wednesday night when police found a suspicious device in his car has been identified.

Michael Wagner, 44, of San Diego, is charged in Pottawattamie County Court as a felon in possession of a firearm for a pistol he was carrying. He is also charged with solicitation of a felony and providing false information. Wagner and a woman he was traveling with were pulled over for speeding just outside Underwood, Iowa, on Interstate 80. Police found a bomblike device in the SUV they were driving. The device turned out to be no concern and the woman was released.

... He said he wasn't wearing his Muslim headpiece as he drove his wife and many of their belongings.

"As a Muslim, you try to go incognito," Wagner said. "He got one box, pulled it out, cut it open and the first book he picks up was the Koran. His eyes got really big," Wagner said.

Wagner said as soon as the trooper realized he was Muslim, he called in the terrorism task force. At least 20 investigators arrived to sift through his van. They found enough to be suspicious.

Also, there is video via this link: http://www.theomahachannel.com/news/3533743/detail.html

Finally, I'm not sure if I've done good or done spam w/ the ping list I put together. Therefore I offer this: Sorry AND you're welcome. :-)
