Tonight I was watching the news from St. Louis. The had a story on about how an Iraqi was arrested in rural Missouri today. He was on a gravel road and had 2 stolen cars and a U-haul with him. He was acting odd and someone happened to notice him and called police. They also found on him a money wire receipt for $25,000 that he sent to Iraq. He claimed he was from Dearborn, MI and he kept changing his story of why he was in Missouri. He was also a soldier in the Iraq war.
His name is Nazar Malla (I got two hits on him when I googled his name, one includes a picture of him that matches up with the guy they showed on the news tonight. The picture was taken in Dearborn, MI during the Iraq election)
The area they caught him in is very rural and there are no Arabs living in this area so he of course would stick out big time. They busted him near Irondale, MO.
The FBI now has him in custody.
I wonder what he was up to?
Was he stealing cars and then selling them for cash to send to Iraq?
Who was he wiring the money to in Iraq?
$25,000 USD is alot of Dinar's
Hook him up to a compressor and inflate a bit.
Nothing here, move on. /sarcasm alert!
Nothing to see in missouri. Nothing of strategic significance. He must have been passing through to Arkansas.
Where in MO did they catch him??? Not down by Springfield, where they have the truck school with all the muzzies, I hope?
The guys name isn't Hussain Al-Hussaini by any chance, is it?
Well, I suppose it is possible that he is just a crook...
'Stealing cars that Americans won't steal'... (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
But I imagine they will find some baathist and/or Al Quaeda emails on his computer, or something like that.
From the MSM? Yes. "Nothing to see here, folks. Just keep moving along."
I wonder what he was up to?
Why does the phrase "No good" come to mind?
It ain't over. And the fat lady (no offense to "svelte-challenged" ladies like me) hasn't even begun to flex her vocal chords yet.
Be aware and stay alert.
Of course.
Well, even more reason to inflate - he will surely spill the beans and tell everything.
u took the words right out of my mind..lol
'Stealing cars that Americans won't steal'...
This story is indeed significant...I wonder if this will lead to a cell
"svelte-challenged"
LOL...That's a new one on me. :-)
Any farm supply stores selling ammonium nitrate in the area?
WASHINGTON -- The FBI's counterterrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering that some of the vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to senior government officials.
Saying this area is rural is an understatement. This is literally the middle of nowhere. Very very weird.
Interesting, and I'll bet we hear very little more about the arrest of this Iraqi in Missouri. The FBI are not a talkative bunch in situations like this.
the road was a gravel road, probably some farmers access road.
It may lead to a cell.
The 9/11 terrorists moved about in
benign areas of the country in addition
to places where no one would take notice of
them.
This guy was in the heartland. Somethings up.
I bet he gets on hell of an interrogation and I hope they
put out cigars on his body to find out what he is up to.
Everyone is pretty much in agreement that another attack
is forthcoming only because of the lax attitude and porous borders.
Too busy searching 80-year old women in wheelchairs at the airport and whether or not you have fruit or vegetables going across state lines.
We are getting complacent.
That's him... I'll post the pictures tomorrow they had of him on the news, plus the rural road they caught him on.
(This was a big enough of a story for KMOV St. Louis news to send cameras out just to take video of an empty rural road. That was all they showed though.)
I looked Irondale up on a map. I'm assuming he was passing through. Kind of a remote route he chose. I would truly love to know where he was going and what he planned to do when he got there.
Ping!
The TV stations website is at http://www.kmov.com
I will keep checking it to see if they do a written report on this story.
I wanted to post this story in the event it turns into something more in the future.
A good question.
Over here and check out post 15...
"Everyone is pretty much in agreement that another attack is forthcoming only because of the lax attitude and porous borders. "
"We are getting complacent."
I agree with you on all counts. I hope this leads to something bigger and more revealing.
I'm expecting something to happen that will include many small out-of-the-way places.
The last I remember, I think Jayna told me he was in the Boston area and was getting all kinds of deliveries of boxes. She was concerned and saw that the law enforcement knew he might be up to something. Jayna is going to be totally vindicated, I hope sooner rather than later.
I think this is fake story. Theres nothing on kmov.com
about it and the link goes to none.com. Whats up here?

Why don't you email Kmov and ask them. The story is not in print form yet and I clearly stated this in my first post. It will most likely be in the St. Louis newspaper tomorrow and once I find it in written form on the internet I will post the link.
thank you!

The implications of items like this really worries me.
Welcome!
Check post 39. Not sure if it is the same person.
Would you please correct my link in the header.
We have found the link on the internet for the story.
http://www.kmov.com/localnews/stories/kmov_localnews_060331_iraqiFBI.7d5eaa2d.html
(this is the written report)
(here is a snippet from the story at the link above)
The sheriff said when deputies arrived that night they found Malla about 50 yards off the road by himself, but there were four vehicles. When they asked him how that could be the sheriff says his answer just didn't make sense.
"He would tell one story one time than the next time you'd ask him the same question and it would be something totally different," said Sheriff Kevin Schroeder.
Thanks!
I suggest you consider switching to Decaf.
Uh oh, he wasn't alone. And somebody tell me how these people can get stolen cars all the way to Iraq without the feds knowing about it. This does not inspire confidence in our safety.
Was a soldier in the Iraq war, wrong side apparently, so, never mind, just waltzed on in here and started his own business. Somehow all this to EXTREMELY understandable!
How did he manage to have 2 stolen cars? Was one of them in the U-Haul?
