Kimberly "Asma" Al-Homsi, who has repeatedly been the subject of interest by federal anti-terrorism authorities, is expected to face a federal explosives charge after the latest incident in Arlington on Saturday.
She and a man were arrested after authorities found an incendiary device in their vehicle following a police pursuit Saturday evening.
Al-Homsi, 45, and Yasinul Alan Ansari, 18, both remain in the Arlington city jail. Bail has been set at $210,000 for Al-Homsi and $100,000 for Ansari.
In 2005, Al-Homsi waved a fake grenade at a motorist on Central Expressway during a road-rage incident. She was put on probation for having a hoax bomb.
That probation was revoked after July 2007, when she was arrested after a six-hour police standoff at her Arlington home and accused of having a pipe fashioned into an illegal firearm. Police also found black powder, shotgun shells, pipes and putty.
On several occasions, also in 2007, Al-Homsi and the friend were seen conducting what appeared to be surveillance at Dallas Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. They were clad in traditional Muslim garb with camouflage pants underneath during at least one of the incidents.
Al-Homsi has also claimed a friendship with Wadih el Hage, a former Arlington resident and former personal secretary of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. He received a life sentence for his part in a bombing conspiracy.
Al-Homsi has contended that she was being harassed because of stereotypes about her religion. She has denied having any links to terrorism.
Al-Homsi, now shown in a mug shot with her head shaved bald, is thought to have explosives training, according to a 2007 intelligence briefing from Dallas police.

Camo underneath her muslim clothes >>>???????
Or a blue collar worker with a dummy grenade somewhere in his house and a can of 4895 reloading powder for his deer rifle.
Maybe the cops had trouble taking her seriously.
She clearly belongs in the booby hatch, not Gitmo.
Put a beard on her and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference,
Talk about putting the f in fugly, gag.
Is that James Carville???
The problem with loons,like the professor who offed three colleagues, is that they pull off their lunacy from time to time. Further, shrinks keep letting them out even if they are committed to the insane asylum.
(on left, of course) yup... looks like her.
Too true.
Yup, this nutjob had been gradually working her way up to the real thing. Finally she went too far. It’s good that they finally nabbed her with a real bomb but she might have pulled off something really deadly eventually.
Gad, no wonder they ‘bag’ the women. She is REAL ugly.
Give that woman a head scarf - and a full veil.
And the State Department has been beating the bushes for decades to bring in as many of these critters as possible, to appease the oil producers so they don’t turn the valves off.

Thanks, Vel.
