March 26, 2008 The FBI is now involved in the theft of a car after it was found in Los Lunas with an explosive device and Iraqi currency inside.FBI agents say that they have ruled out terrorism.

The car was reported stolen last week. After the theft, the car’s owner was fueling his motorcycle when he spotted his stolen car.

“While he was refueling his motorcycle, low and behold, the vehicle that he had reported stolen that belongs to him happened to pull into the gas station area also,” said Los Lunas Police Captain Charles Nuanes.

The car’s owner pulled the keys out of the ignition of his stolen car and the people in the car fled.

When police arrived, they found the explosive device and

Yes, I am sure whoever it was had a legitimate reason for this.

You've GOT to be kidding me - is this Scrappleface?

[ElkGroveDan]

I’m sure it was a bunch of Swedish currency traders taking a friend to his job in a hard rock mine where he was going to use the bomb for blasting. What other explanation could there be?

[Old Sarge]

Do you BELIEVE this?!?

“While he was refueling his motorcycle, low and behold, the vehicle that he had reported stolen that belongs to him happened to pull into the gas station area also,”

Lo, and behold?

Good. Because silly people might worry er sumpin'.

[yldstrk]

They always IMMEDIATELY rule out terrorism....

[RDTF]

oh boy

[ovrtaxt]

This seems to be an actual news story. So they ruled out terrorism, huh? lol

[BallyBill]

Why would nationalterroralert write a story on this? Authorities said “No Link To Terror”.....just some money and a firecracker.

[Uncle Miltie]

"a car after it was found in Los Lunas with an explosive device and Iraqi currency inside.FBI agents say that they have ruled out terrorism."

The FBI is apparently going to challenge the CIA for the worst dumba$$e$ in the Govt.

[TomGuy]

FBI agents say that they have ruled out terrorism.

And yet, we have this brilliant statement from the police captain:

"We don’t know what their intentions were,” said Nuanes. “We don’t know what they were planning on doing with any of this.”

[ovrtaxt]

DOMESTIC TERRORISM ALERT. Please let me know by freepmail if you want to be put on or taken off this list. Thanks.

...and the FBI rules out terrorism. Go figure.

[keepitreal]

You know it’s just some good old boys who accidently took the car for a joyride and decided to make their own fireworks for fun. Iraqi currency was just some money those boys mistakenly got as change when they bought beer and cigarettes.

Law Enforcement Agency Boilerplate Supplied By Homeland Security:

"We don't have any facts at all but we can state with absolute certainty that there is no connection to terrorists or terrorism."

I’m as baffled about this one as you are, but something is stinking to high heaven. An Iraqi terrorist scam by anti-war activists?...or is it from pro-war activists?

[HereInTheHeartland]

“he FBI is now involved in the theft of a car”

Why is the FBI stealing cars?

Yes grammar does matter; who wrote this story?

[Constitution Day]

I can't stand jerks. Especially knee-jerks.

[acapesket]

Think about it.. what kind of Iraqi currency and what's it going to buy in the USA?
Sounds like a stupid teenager to me.
People are vying for attention all the time.
Never the less, we have Creeps, Crips, Bloods, Dweebs etc. waltzing over our border everyday.
( a little Ferris Buehler humor there)
I usually jump when I hear this stuff.. but this sounds just plain stupid.

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting, Sammy67. It was also on the TM (Threat Matrix) thread post #1120 by Oorang.

BTTT!

[sport]

That is always their first statement. “No connection to terrorists”.

[MizSterious]

Ping!

[peeps36]

There's something seriously wrong when the FBI rules out terrorism before they even arrive on the scene. I bet the guy with the stolen car was surprised to hear it wasn't terror related before the FBI had a chance to search the car. It almost makes me think the feds are trying to hide terror related incidents when they rule out terrorism immediately after discovering Iraqi money and bombs in a Southwestern state.

[magslinger]

More importantly, who edited it? There was a time when editors were the grammar police, but these days spellcheck should be listed as the editor of most papers.

[STARWISE]

~~PING!

[potlatch]

Thanks for the ping.
Lol, just proves life is stranger than fiction - to have your stolen car come pulling up to you!

Sounds like a pretty stupid “possible terrorist” if they would bring Iraqi money into the US.

[Cicero]

It’s important to rule out terrorism before you start the investigation. Very reassuring.

[TaMoDee]

You can buy new (after 2003) and old Iraqi currency on Ebay.
The troops all bring home a couple of notes.

[dalereed]

Like a friend of mine on the L.A Sheriffs dept always said:

The FBI couldn't follow a menstruating elephant in a snow bank.

[stylin19a]

We don't know what their intentions were,” said Nuanes. “We don't know what they were planning on doing with any of this.”

they can't get their stories straight

[glock rocks]

The FBI is apparently going to challenge the CIA for the worst dumba$$e$ in the Govt.

Not until they can produce their own cartoons a la TWA800! OTOH, the CIA has to do some serious fusters to catch up to the batfags.

[LibWhacker]

with an explosive device and Iraqi currency inside.FBI agents say that they have ruled out terrorism.

We all want to take every opportunity to impress you peons with our DE-ductive skills, we're gonna deny the obvious and tell you to your face that it was a combination of swamp gas and the planet Venus conspiring to create a unique optical and logical illusion.

[txhurl]

Maybe the Iraqi currency was supposed to be the ‘statement’ as it blew all over wherever the bimb was to detonate.

I think ‘not related to terrorism’ means ‘don’t report this under pain of X’.

[healy61]

Add this to the request by the FBI for information from anyone who has information about parachutes from the 1970’s. That was for DB Cooper. What, the FBI clowns can’t locate a contact? What, the FBI doesn’t know terrorism when it smacks them in the arse.

[ElkGroveDan]

Of course if the car had an NRA sticker and Idaho plates, well THAT would be different. They’d mobilize every jackbooted thug in a SWAT costume for miles around.

[healy61]

Nothing baffling here. The FBI is given to lying. End of story.

[ASOC]

The car’s owner pulled the keys out of the ignition his Kimber 45 and held the occupants at gunpoint until the cops showed up to effect arest...

< better ending.

[FreedomPoster]

Get a load of this!

[Roccus]

Journalists no longer need to be wordsmiths. A sincere desire to “make a difference” is all that is necessary.

[magslinger]

Anyone can make a difference. It takes a some smarts to make a difference for the better. That’s where the urinalists fail.

[Cindy]

Yes, and I’m not surprised.
We noted it today on The Threat Matrix.

[Cindy]

Thanks for the ping STARWISE.

[Erasmus]

The newspapers have laid off all the editors. At least the senior ones who knew the language, and gave a s***.

"After the theft, the car’s owner was fueling his motorcycle when he spotted his stolen car."

OT: in perhaps an even stranger coincidence, I know someone whose husband had his pickup truck stolen (well hers too but she normally drove a different vehicle). Anyway, just a few days later she was driving through a neighborhood she had never had cause to be in before, FIFTY miles from her home, and "lo and behold" spotted the very stolen pickup truck in a driveway there. The coincidence was unreal, she had no particular reason to be in that neighborhood, was just cutting through on a street she didn't know at all. Anyway, she called the police and the whole thing got straightened out. Don't know what happened to the thieves though.......

Weird stuff!

Now they are finding aked passsports that seem to pass security checks I believe

[FenianOfEire]

Yeah, when I was a teenager I had stacks of foreign currencies...not to mention bombs that I would make, just to leave them laying around in stolen vehicles...just for the attention and kick I got...

Judging by the rest of your post......Crips, Bloods... etc. I doubt this response is even worth posting, other than for my own entertainment...at your expense, of course.

[trumandogz]

Oh come on! You mean to tell me you have never driven around your home town with a carload of Middle Eastern Currency and a bomb?
