Women at Love Field 'acting suspiciously'
Dallas police and federal terrorism officials are investigating two women, both dressed in camouflage pants under their traditional Muslim robes and scarves, who were seen conducting what appeared to be surveillance and acting suspiciously at Dallas Love Field.
One of the women, Kimberly "Asma" Al-Homsi, 42, of Arlington, who is on probation for a 2005 Garland road rage incident involving a fake grenade, is said to have long-range assault rifle and explosives training, according to a Dallas police intelligence bulletin issued March 5.
"I'm a trained sniper and proud of it," Ms. Al-Homsi said in an interview Thursday after first refusing to comment on whether she has any terrorism ties. She then said no.
Police officials said they have no direct evidence the women have ties to terrorism.
On the afternoon of Feb. 25, Ms. Al-Homsi and a friend who could not be reached for comment, Aisha Abdul-Rahman Hamad, 50, of Irving, were spotted at Love Field wearing Muslim robes and camouflage pants and "acting suspiciously," the bulletin states. The surveillance video shows one of the women walking back and forth, apparently pacing off distances.
When confronted, the women told officials they were looking for the Frontiers of Flight museum. They left in a red Honda. Descriptions of the incident and the car were circulated at the airport.
Two days later, the museum executive director was leaving for the evening when he noticed the Honda parked facing the runway. A woman, later identified as Ms. Al-Homsi, was sitting on the hood, looking through binoculars at the airplanes. He told the women the museum was closing, and they left.
Police issued one of them a citation for having no front license plate and failing to change her address on a driver's license.

"Asma" Al-Homsi???? - Lock em up!
Guilty!!!!
Muslim terrorists don't kill people, long-range assault rifles and explosives kill people.
the picture is a good example why middle eastern men aren’t the only people to watch
Yikes! Throw a burkha on that!
Sounds like another ‘flying imam’ incident. Probe defenses and then scream racism when caught.
'S'ok.
She obviously suffers from Von Hippel-Lindau disease.
Anyone that ugly should be hung like a man.
From WFFA-FOX in Dallas:
Richardson police may upgrade charges against a driver accused of road rage.
Kimberly Al-Homsi allegedly threatened a man with a hand grenade yesterday.
She then led police on a chase from North Dallas to Garland. It turns out that the grenade was not live, but she could be charged with making a terror threat.
Police say the hand grenade wasn’t the only alarming object police said they found in Al-Homsi’s car. They also confiscated additional ammunition that could have been used to create an explosive.
“As officers approached the car...they saw what appeared to be a couple of hand grenades inside the car,” said Sgt. Kevin Perlich, Richardson Police Department.
Officers backed off when they discovered the explosive and called the Garland bomb squad, who pulled out three hand grenades.
Police checked the grenades and said they were real but did not have explosive material in them so they were not actively explosive, but they did find other ammunition inside the car.
“It is very serious,” said Officer Joe Harn, Garland Police Department.
Police said the incident started as road rage between Kimberly Al Homsi, 41, and a male driver.
“She pulls out what appears to be a hand grenade, pulls the pin and starts making threatening motions like she is going to throw it at him,” Harn said.
The male driver called Richardson police and they found Al-Homsi coming out of the parking lot of the Brighter Horizon’s Academy in Garland where she had just picked up her teenage daughter. Police investigated to see if Al-Homsi made any threats while at the school.
“From what we could tell right now, there were no other threats made to anyone else other than the motorist which she had the altercation with,” Perlich said. “So, no sign she was a harm or threat to anybody.”
Police said they have not discovered why she had the items in her car
Who is this "Brighter Horizon" that owns an Academy?
Maybe she is........
I just spit coffee all over my screen, keyboard, and half of my desk!
You meet me to it. If no burkha available, her own tee-shirt would do. NOT

History:
In 1988 a group of dedicated Muslim parents in the Dallas, TX area founded the Islamic Services Foundation (ISF) for the purpose of establishing an educational institution conducive to an Islamic learning environment. The initial plan was to start with kindergarten and first grade levels and to add one higher grade level every year.
Today Brighter Horizons Academy College Preparatory (BHA) is the first full-time Islamic college preparatory academy in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. It is considered the largest full-time Islamic school in the southern United States. Since its inception the Academy has grown from 10 students in 1989 to over 630, ranging from PK to 12th grade having graduated three senior classes as of 2004.
By the blessings of Allah (SWT) and the tireless efforts of dedicated parents, teachers, and community members the Academy will continue to navigate and accomplish its mission to make a difference in this part of the world.
At BHA we offer the necessary educational programs and tools in order to provide a balanced curriculum in Arabic, Quran, Islamic Studies and required regular core subjects for our students.
At BHA we seek to empower today’s students with the skills to become the leaders of tomorrow.
At BHA our mission is to develop and strengthen your child’s Islamic worldview in a college preparatory environment.
At BHA, parents and teachers are partners in teaching the future of Islam in the United States.
Git a rope.
Whoa... with that face, she should be charged with some form of “terrorism upon innocents”.
[wiping coffee off monitor]
“”But then she came out so much, it became normal.””
So, um, two fruitcakes or two wannabbee terrorists? What is “normal?”
“Sounds like another ‘flying imam’ incident. Probe defenses and then scream racism when caught.”
How much do you want to bet they’re on the CAIR payroll and will soon be filing “Joe Doe” lawsuits against the individuals who questioned their activities at Love field?
She probably IS!.......
What was Mrs. Al-Homsi’s maiden name, I wonder?
Looks like we have another overzealous American convert woman who fell for a smooth-talking Middle Eastern Lothario.
Which is why TSA spends so much time body searching 80 year old grandmas from Des Moines and missing explosives in boarding tests.
"If I didn't have a scarf on my head and it was a simple road rage I would not be on the terrorism watch list." Al HOMSI, who is of Syrian descent, stated: "I hate the U.S. Government" and that she is sympathetic to the Palestinian people.
Investigation conducted by Doug Hagmann, director of the Northeast Intelligence Network found the apparent spokesperson of the duo, Kimberly Al-HOMSI is also known as Kimberly al-SAFWEH, and might have been associated with an address in Tucson, Arizona a few years ago - an address, according to this investigation, that is a mere 6 ½ miles from an address possibly associated with Omar SHAHIN, one of the 6 "flying Imams."

Should be required by law.
OK, in this case I will allow a burqua.
PING!
man, that broad is butt ugly...
wonder is she’ll sue for being profiled...
I read that she is Syrian and hates America. We should help her back to Syria.
On the other hand, just how Syrian can she be with a name like Kimberly. Just a dimwit that converted perhaps.
or “Fugly”
You have to wonder just how many Brighter Horizons Academies there are in the US... not to mention the countless accredited, Islamic grade schools nestled quietly in and across America preaching who-knows-what.
Typical psychopath careening off the guardrails on the road of life.
Lets hope she is stopped before some innocents are killed.
I’m not too hopeful of that.
The Burqa definitely has a good purpose here and there. Still, the Moslems do carry it way too far.
Seems sort of dumb for a real terrorist to say they were a trained sniper...
Keep connecting those dots. They always lead to a network of underground operatives bent on Islamisizing the U.S.
Maybe it is...
GRRRRRR
Saudi Arabia has lots of sand they could live on.
Perhaps we could air drop them there. Let them pack their own chutes. NO training.
Strap her to the nose of an ICBM and send her back...
Yikes! Guilty!
Never heard of it.
Some Syrians look like Europeans, e.g., the Assad ruling family. I knew an American of English and Scottish descent (6 foot tall, brown hair, blue eyes) who worked for a major oil company. He was fluent in Arabic and, when stationed in Damascus, was often asked if he was from northern Syria. Additionally, Middle Easterners in business often take very “Anglo” first names.
Call me crazy, but I don’t like seeing “road rage” and “grenade” in the same sentence.
