Saudi-born US naval engineer allegedly gave undercover agent info on how to sink carrier
Fox News ^ | December 06, 2014

A Naval engineer is facing charges that he gave an FBI undercover agent posing as an Egyptian intelligence officer secret documents about the new Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier while discussing how to sink the vessel with a missile.

Mostafa Ahmed Awwad, 35, of Yorktown, Va., was arrested Friday on an FBI affidavit that reads like it came from a Tom Clancy novel.

Federal prosecutors in Virginia say that during his conversations with the undercover, Awwad arranged to use a dead-drop location along a secluded hiking trail to pass secrets about the Ford, which is being built in Virginia for delivery to the Navy in 2016.

The affidavit says that at a hotel meeting on Oct. 9 Awwad gave the undercover drawings of the aircraft carrier that he said were top secret. During the meeting, "Awwad discussed where to strike the vessel with a missile in order to sink it," the affidavit says.

The FBI undercover was posing as an Egyptian spy named "Yousef" and spoke to Awwad in Arabic.

That comment from Casey was one of the most outrageous I’ve ever heard, yet it barely caused a ripple in the mainstream media. Hearing a top military officer say that having a less diverse military (and specifically a less Muslim military) would be worse than the slaughter of all those Americans was stunning to me.

That as much as anything else proved that Diversity is the new god of western civilization.

I think I heard somewhere that Muslims don’t consider themselves bound by any oaths other than those related to Islam — and that they consider it acceptable to take an oath with the intention of violating it.

Taqiyya

"I don’t care what “color”

Obviously you do since you were the one to interject the subject into this thread in the first place. I have noticed that you are in the habit of doing so in other threads.

Your arguments in support of race discrimination are impressive, you've obviously practiced them quite a bit over at Storm Front.

"You can try and REWRITE history

I have attempted no such thing. On the other hand you attempt to hijack threads by inserting racial hatred into the discussion. Then when you're called out on it you don't bother answering my question but instead have a temper tantrum full of name-calling.

"The subject of the article was an EGYPTIAN employed by our GOV’T was caught sending documents and setting our fleet up for sabotage."

Exactly. This particular Arab is obviously an enemy of this country, does that mean that all arabs are our enemies? Of course not, yet you attempt to imply just that through your racist rhetoric.

"...but you can call me “racist”

There's no point in repeating myself. Have a good day.

Someone clued him in to who his virgins were. But praise be! He’ll get them right here on Earth, and every night!

“Mostafa Ahmed Awwad, 35, of Yorktown, Va”

Obviously a local descended from the First Families of Virginia.

You don’t get to mischaracterize my posts and I won’t have you dictate to me what words I can or can’t use.
You can cry all you want about purported racism on a post, and you have a very sad history of calling out good FReepers like me as “racists” since a lot of folks obviously get underneath your skin.
I think you’re a sleeper leftist troll, who only decides to login when somebody offends your fragile self-esteem—just like racial arsonist would. I’ve seen your type many times on Conservative forums.

As the old saying goes, if you can’t stand the heat then get out of the kitchen. You, don’t belong anywhere near an honest conversation on politics, much less race and culture.
