The man was thought to be headed for the United States via Mexico.

Yah, but bloodthirsty jihad is still no reason to protect our southern borders. Arizona is racist, dammit!

Houston is chock full of al-quaeda looking types of slimy greasy middle easterners who speak no english and sit around the coffee shops smoking like chimneys and glaring at everybody. I glare back and make them feel unwelcome. They have penetrated Houston in a big way.

See! We don’t need to secure the border for security reasons. Our intelligence enables us to catch them in the sky before they land.

The flight originated in France.

The flight's destination was Mexico.

The airline was Mexican.

The guy was on a U.S. no-fly list.

The flight was diverted to Canada and the guy will have a court hearing in Canada.

Do you think the DOJ will apply for extradition? What would the charges be?

From the text:

Abdirahman Al Gaal. Member of Alshabaab a Somalian ally of Al Qaida. Yet it is stated he has resident status in the United States. Married to an American woman.

Strange enough with this information. Now since his court date is on Wednesday, we will have to wait patiently. I hope he is shipped back to France myself.

He hasn't had the time yet to completely undo all the intelligence apparatus GWB set up around the globe. But, he's working on it.

Is Houston another sanctuary city? Sounds like a target with all of the energy offices and surrounding industrial sites.

Brennan said jihad is a normal religious obligation that has nothing to do with killing innocents.

“Gaall is a Somali national but holds resident status in the United States, the counterterrorism sources said. His wife is an American citizen, said one official. He did not have the couple’s address in the United States.”

Oy.
