Terror At Trolley Square, SLC [Home Video with AUDIO OF SHOUTS OF "ALLAH AKBAR"]

Video taken during attack at Salt Lake City mall picks up shouting of "Allah Akbar" 3 times.

This was detected by Freeper "NraFreedom" - but only posted inside another thread. Due to the length of the video, its unrevealing visuals and the number of other unintelligible sounds, I think many ignored it.

Only thing I offer is visual aid - a screen capture of the KUTV video player loaded with the video AND MARKED on the slide with WHERE TO FOCUS ATTENTION. Here it is with a ledger :

GREEN (under "h" in "shooting") - start listening close after the 2 gunshots
RED - shout "Police" followed by "O.B...O.B.?" and the "Allah Akbar"s

TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE MAKED PORTION OF THE CLIP . IT IS WORTH IT.

How about an active link?

It definitely wasn't English. Is there any way to clean up the audio I wonder?

[Domandred]

Has this been run through a filter yet? I spend 20 minutes earlier today listening to the same section and couldn't objectively make anything out besides what the police were saying.

[drpix]

I tested it and it works. I think - maybe - Freepers are overloading it.

They are discussing this at LGF too.
Does anyone know if "Allah Akbar" is kind of like OMG in English?

I've watched the entire video about a dozen times and haven't heard the akbar deal..doesn't mean it isn't there but it's very difficult to hear..gonna need someone to do a serious audio cleanup on it..

[mewzilla]

IIRC, it means "God is great."

Honestly, couldn't hear anything but the police.

[LurkedLongEnough]

Heavy duty stuff.

I heard it... "OB OB Allah Akbar"

It was not crystal clear but that's what it sounded like.

[since 1854]

Allah Akbar means Allah is Greater.

[delacoert]

I agree. The only things I could understand were the orders hollered by the law enforcement officer(s)

I listened twice and could not discern anyone recite anything that sounded like Alla-hu Akbar.

But he is a "Bosnian Refugee"! Bill Clinton killed 4,000 Serbs to SAVE him. Why doesn't he LOVVVE us?

[Sudetenland]

Nah, I think is sounds like the it's the cop saying O.B., O.B., come on up, come up

[drpix]

Before posting it... 1)I played it to several people over the phone who heard it and 2) I reduced it to half speed , listened again and still sounded like "Allah Akbar" - but the more listen the better.

I thought it said "Islam is FUBAR".
