Huh?
No more contradictory than being a muslim “peace activist”.
Ya think?
Sure looks like suicide to me, neat trick to bind your own hands and legs and tape over your eyes before committing suicide.
However, the condition of his body he was found with his hands and legs bound and tape over his eyes has caused others to consider the death suspicious.
Ya think?! LOL!
I thought this was one of those funds that had been determined to be a contibutor to terrorism, and the gummint had shut them down, or frozen their assets or something.
When did Barney Fife relocate to Texas?
I’m guessing his terrorist buddies decided that dead men tell no tales
You know, I've been seeing a lot of that from the various police statements lately. Suicide among those under investigation, indictment, or actually convicted, has apparently become endemic. Especially among those who have said that they have no intention of killing themselves and then are found bound and dead. It must take a lot of effort to kill oneself apparently.
Of course not. They need the M.E. to reach that conclusion.
“However, the condition of his body he was found with his hands and legs bound and tape over his eyes has caused others to consider the death suspicious.”
YEA, IT WAS A SUICIDE, no ties to terrorists. Like the woman in Memphis (right after 9/11) who was found in a burned car with a concrete block on the gas petal, and the car doused in gasoline.
She was an employee of the state drivers license bureau, and had been selling licenses to Middle Easterners.
Yep. Especially if he really was skimming off the top...
“Give them some credit: At least, they didn’t conclude that he died of natural causes.”
And we didn’t receive the obligatory, “no terrorism involved” statement.
Damn. Never even heard about that one.
Terrorist funding....the American way!
No, no, no, it was not suicide nor murder. It was an escape and eluding exercise gone bad. His muzzie friends tied, bound and gagged him then thru him in the lake. He was supposed to escape like Houdini and then meet up with his camel jockey buddies back at the strip joint in order to discuss escape techniques. /S
The article pasted below appeared shortly after 9/11. I live in Tennessee now and it was big news here.
BTW, I attended college at McNeese State University in Lake Charles (lived there several years), and, although not a big football fan, do cheer for LSU.
F.B.I. Says Arson Killed Woman Accused in License Scheme
By REUTERS
MEMPHIS, Feb. 14 A deliberately set fire caused the death of a driver’s license examiner who had been accused of illegally selling licenses to five Middle Eastern men who were being investigated for possible ties to terrorism, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has said.
Gasoline was poured on the clothing of the examiner, Katherine Smith, before she burned to death on Sunday in an automobile accident, J. Suzanne Nash, an F.B.I. agent, said on Wednesday.
Ms. Smith died one day before she was to have appeared in court with her five co-defendants after being arrested last week on charges of conspiracy to obtain driver’s licenses illegally.
In a federal court hearing here on Wednesday, Ms. Nash said an accelerant had been found in Ms. Smith’s car, adding that her death was “not an accident.”
Investigators have said the gasoline tank of the automobile did not explode. Ms. Nash also said witnesses had reported that the interior of Ms. Smith’s car was on fire before the vehicle struck a utility pole, causing just minor damage to the car.
Ms. Nash told the court on Monday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation was looking into whether the five men who were arrested had ties to terrorist groups, citing connections to the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
The five men, one of whom said he was a plumber at the trade center and had a visitor’s pass to the towers dated Sept. 5, are being held without bond.
A lawyer for one of the defendants has denied that they had any connection to terrorism and said they were seeking documentation to work in the United States.
Maybe he owed MS13 for bringing some “refugees” across the border!
As the Clintons have taught us through Arkanside, it all depends on which politicians may be implicated and what evidence one may have as to whether someone commits suicide or is killed.
In the case of the DC madame and one of her workers, there is enough WA DC connections that probably are people in very high government places that didn't want to be embarrassed. I am sure some in power feel that is worth a couple of suicides. As to this likely terrorist fund-raiser, I suspect that there is a lot more to the story of why the police are making such a dumb statement as to suicide. I suspect that the police are trying to provide "cover" for someone (an informant) or something that they don't want the public to know about. Alright everybody, move along....nothing to see here....nothing happened.... I think I have heard that before.
