Exclusive: FBI Video Shows Al Qaeda in Kentucky Handling Heavy Weapons
ABC ^ | Nov 20, 2013 | By James Gordon Meek

Posted on 11/20/2013 8:06:11 PM PST by Jet Jaguar

An al Qaeda-linked terrorist, who was resettled in the U.S. as an Iraq War refugee after allegedly killing American soldiers, was caught on camera in Kentucky handling heavy weapons that the FBI said he believed would be sent to insurgents back in Iraq. The 2010 video, obtained exclusively by ABC News, was part of a broader ABC News investigation into the flawed refugee vetting program, which officials said may have let “dozens” of terrorists into the country.

In the video, Waad Ramadan Alwan is seen expertly field stripping what the FBI identified as a Russian PKM machine gun. Other still images provided by the FBI from hours-worth of surveillance footage show Alwan and an accomplice, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, handling a Stinger missile launcher and a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher.

An FBI agent assigned to the sting operation that captured the video told ABC News that Alwan had bragged to an informant about killing American soldiers in Iraq. “He said he had them ‘for lunch and dinner,’” FBI Louisville Supervisory Special Agent Tim Beam said.

The FBI said that beyond sending the arms back to extremists in Iraq, Alwan spoke of targeting a specific American soldier in the U.S. and possibly attacking other homeland targets.

Well, I just choose not to spent money in shops of middle eastern folks since 911, and I know the difference between, a Sikh a Hindu and an Arab.
ME Christians do not sell porn and dope paraphernalia.

The stinking, murderous muzzie filth aren’t as smart as Hirohito was. They’re going for it.

Well, I could understand boycotting a porn and dope store :-)

But anyhow. I’d rather be the Christian who nudged a Muslim closer to Christ than the one who would not go near that Muslim on a grudge.

Likewise, but I’ve been this way much before 2001.

The recent economic woes has gotten everyone distracted regarding the Muzzie menace.

While this story may or may not be true, I think it is another gun control attempt. ZOMG, terrorists in our backwoods, we need gun control NOW!

You are no doubt right. The simple logic that criminals, the insane, and terrorists are the kinds of people that don't obey laws escapes the libtards. All "gun control" laws do is serve to disarm the law abiding. They provably have zero impact on criminal behavior.

Excuse me, I mis-spoke. They have zero negative impact on criminal behavior. Regions (cities, states, even entire countries) that have enacted strict gun control laws (or outright bans) have all experienced increases in violent crime. This is easily understood. All of a sudden violent criminals realize their potential victims are less able to defend themselves. It is a gift to the criminals.

So is there some way to tell by looking at a Middle Eastern shop keeper if he or she is or isn’t Islamic?

I’ve not frequently seen them wear little moon symbols like Christians occasionally wear crosses.

A plain “God bless you” is something Satan hates.

They go for it everywhere.
If Americans don’t allow them to terrify them, they will lose.

The FBI probably got the guy half drunk and gave him the guns.

You are correct.
You just speak to them.
I am just saying that many think Sikhs or Hindu are Muslim and they are not.

Well, the war God wages is a weird war from our fallen point of view.

God is waging a “war” of blessings. We fallen humans think in terms of curses and refusing blessings (which is why God has to wage “war” to bless us).

Sometimes chastisements and cleansings have to take place, but those are not fundamental curses. And usually God orchestrates them through the normal course of events.

This is not a calculus that can be thought through overnight by many people. It is an inversion of worldly principles. Ultimately however once we grasp it, we now too seek to bless in the world. And the worldly will think that we are weird. And we won’t care.

I listened to Hannity’s radio program today and he had a former Secret Service man on who is running for office - I think in Maryland. Anyway, he talked about the obama WH and the strange characters that come and go into our house. He also said that obama is a loner and has no real friends. Our president is one scary dude! (too bad John McCain has no discernment about who we should or shouldn’t be afraid of).

FedGov has done a great job at running things. This is a small blip, a glitch, and will be worked out in a week or so.

The country’s in the best of hands. Go back to bed.

The fist 1-2 weeks of attacks will terrify many; the rest of us will go after them and kill them.
