Feds probe alleged terrorists who tried to rent giant truck in suspected Al Qaeda bomb plot

Investigators probed a failed Queens truck rental for ties to a possible Al Qaeda bomb plot yesterday as a chief terror suspect tried making a deal to save his skin.

The truck rental bid failed when none of the men could produce a valid credit card. All refused to surrender the identification needed to pay cash, the manager of the Flushing U-Haul said.

A team of FBI agents spent 10 hours Thursday combing through the Queens truck rental business.

At least three Afghan men - including Ahmad Afzali, a Queens imam identified by a U-Haul employee as one of the would-be renters - were questioned in New York by FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, sources said.

Trying to get U-Haul to deliver the right truck at the right place and time is worse torture than waterboarding.

"including Ahmad Afzali, a Queens imam"

It would seem that the "clerics" of the Religion of Violins are the inciters. Send most of them to Gitmo for a while.

These guys got caught. You have to ask yourself how many more are out there just waiting to take out a school, a train or a building full of innocent infidels. Hmmm.

Personally . . . sending them to Davey Jones Locker would be my preference . . .

perhaps by route of being keel hauled stem to stern with the USS Ronald Reagan.

Especially considering that our borders. 8 years after 9-11 are sieves, our country is infested with illegals, and immigration law enforcement is a joke.

Now look . . .

don’t you know how difficult it is for the

poooooooooooooooooooo mooselymbs

to get

BRIGHT

folks who’ll fall for the nonsense that they are going to

blow themselves to smithereens and land in the laps of 76 virgins in paradise???

I mean . . . Maybe they think each piece will be a heavenly IUD? [slapping fingers]

I mean . . . Maybe they think the camel/little boy . . . -ers with the wild eyes, unkempt hair and demonized persona are paragons of erudite wisdom and brilliance as they advise the hapless “volunteers” on the finer points of graduating from this life in a million pieces.

I mean . . . how do they go from a life time of construing God to be extremely ‘Puritanical,’ harsh, brutal, mean-spirited, punative . . . etc. etc. etc. who will somehow suddenly transform into a God of dispensing heavenly orgies???? Why doesn’t some sort of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE HUGE RED flag pop up in their pointed noggins???

I mean . . . it boggles the mind.

THOW SHALL NOT PROFILE

Three muslim men who can't produce a visa card, won't leave required ID to pay cash, and want to rent a great big truck?

ALARM BELLS anyone? We are doomed.
