Bexar County Courthouse (San Antonio) burglary investigated as possibly terror related

The following is summarized from San Antonio television news reports.

At two o'clock this morning at least three men entered the Bexar County Courthouse in downtown San Antonio, Tx. They were apprehended by San Antonio police as they left the building.

Three suspects were arrested. Two others are being questioned by police and FBI agents.

Terror related concerns were raised when cameras, unspecified documents, and a travel itinerary were found in the Winnebago in which the men were traveling.

KENS-TV reported the itinerary was extensive and included visits to a number of "sensitive" areas. The station reported the men are possibly foreign nationals, possibly Morroccan.

San Antonio military facilities increased their security alert posture. The National Security Agency has a large facility in San Antonio.

No information available on how or why the men entered the Courthouse. No web media reports available as yet.

I get yelled at every time I bring dates up, but today is 10/19/11. Mix the digits around a little and you get 9/11/01.

Anything in the courthouse related to elections?

Events like this are why some malls get itchy about photography inside or outside the mall.

According to the Security Report for Texas, it is NOT accidental that the terrorists are released. It is proceedure from the Obama Administration.

But don’t dare profile anyone!

I thought about this a bit and came up with, maybe they are urbex explorers from abroad (urban exploration, it’s a pretty big hobby), but that would not explain an interest in malls. urbex people are not into malls, unless they are abandoned.

Oh, yikes!

"Winnebago belonging to the men"

- "Photographs of infrastructure including photos of shopping malls, water systems, courthouses and other public buildings which they say were taken in cities nationwide"

- "They got travel documents, parking passes, they have been all over the country"

Jihadis aged 21-25 traveling all over the country in a Winnebago are obviously funded by others as probably/possibly are other surveilance groups

Tell me again why arguments against water-boarding - made by the 5th Column and their trained parrots - should even be heard.

I mistakenly thought your post was the article linked on drudge on this. Here's the link to that more complete article - from where my quotes come: LINK

Thanks for the update. We should follow this closely to be sure that Holder doesn’t release them. The man can’t be trusted.

Important snippet found(disturbing):

“Surveillance video showed the men walking into the building with an item in their hands, but they did not have the item when they walked out of the courthouse, sheriff’s officials said. Investigators have not said whether that item was recovered or what it may be.”

Obviously it was an nicely wrapped fruit basket and a "COEXIST" bumper sticker.

Islamofascists.

Probably al-Qaeda out of European cells, admitted to USA as students or tourists by one of our Embassies abroad (consular section), most likely application and travel approval issued under the Obama Administration.

I would have the GOP Presidential candidates out there quickly before Obama and Holder spin this the way they want it.

“Probably al-Qaeda out of European cells, admitted to USA as students or tourists by one of our Embassies abroad (consular section), most likely application and travel approval issued under the Obama Administration.”

I’d like to know who in the Obama Adminstration let them in, as 2 of the men were already on the FBI watch list according to reports. They could also be Libyan(Gaddafi boys) or Iranian(Hezbollah).

[penelopesire]

My guess is they left some kind of tool(weapon) to be used later by the cell that might follow the initial foray. Just speculating.

[AmericanInTokyo]

My suspicion is they well have been with “Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group”, originating perhaps their travel from France, and came into the USA from Heathrow, after getting visas at either the US Embassies/consulates in the UK or in France. Just a hunch. They also were apparently highly trained, motivated, supported by cash, and were either an advance team OR an active cell waiting to plant explosives or some other such kind of WMD, or take hostages at public soft targets. Somebody at State Department and ICE is going to be in deep doo-doo (or they better be). If part of this organization I have mentioned above which is an al-Qaeda affiliate, the captured Islamic terrorists are in a group whose specialty is major scale, high profile bombings.

BUMP TO KEEP PLACE ON CAPTURED TERRORISTS.

Looks like the government is now saying they suspect no terror link:

Damn Holder.....WTH......please don’t tell me that they will be letting these people go now?!!!

They are terrorists, with that kind of activity, at that location, that kind of materials found in their vehicle, and that kind of young, European Islamic background. Who are these people in D.C. trying to fool? They want to do catch and release on this it seems:
