Report: Another jihadist plot against American soldiers on American soil; Alert gun dealer, local police blew the whistle

By Michelle Malkin • July 28, 2011 10:56 AM

Two days ago, I noted the little-noted sentencing of Little Rock jihadist Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who killed 24-year-old Private William Long and gravely wounded 18-year-old Private Quinton Ezeagwula at a recruiting center in a bloody shooting spree targeting our military on American soil. Muhammad got life without parole.

Accused Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Hasan still awaits his court martial scheduled for next March — and still maintains his rank and salary while the wheels of justice grind slowly.

In June, the FBI exposed a Seattle jihadi plot against the military with two Muslim avengers who compared themselves to Hasan.

And also in June, the feds arrested Muslim Marine reservist Jonathan Melaku in an attempted Pentagon bombing. He was also tied through ballistics to a series of Beltway-area military building target shootings.

Now, via Fox News, there’s word of another plot on American soldiers on American soil. Possibly three conspirators are allegedly involved.

I guess I’m supposed to be silent about this.

Shhhhhhh:

At least one U.S. military serviceman has been arrested after raising concerns over another possible attack on Fort Hood, Fox News has learned exclusively.

Pvt. Nasser Jason Abdo, an AWOL soldier from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, was arrested by the Killeen Police Department near Fort Hood and remains in custody there. Authorities, however, will not say if Abdo is the one who raised security concerns.

Abdo was allegedly found with explosives and jihadist materials at the time of his arrest, a senior Army source confirms to Fox News. He was arrested at around 2 p.m. Wednesday after someone called authorities to report a suspicious individual.

Bob Jenkins, a Fort Campbell spokesman, told Fox News that Abdo was also being investigated for child pornography found on his government computer.

Abdo went AWOL on July 4. On the eve of his first deployment to Afghanistan — after only one year in the Army — Abdo applied for conscientious objector status. It was denied by his superiors at Ft. Campbell but later overturned by the Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Army review board.

Just as an alert citizen helped bring down the Fort Dix plot in NJ, it was an alert citizen in Killeen TX who reportedly helped crack this latest alleged plot against Fort Hood.

Rep. John Carter reports:

House Army Caucus Co-Chairman John Carter (R-TX31) is praising Killeen police and a local gun dealer who have apparently stopped another attack on Fort Hood through early detection and teamwork

“Thanks to quick action by a Texas gun dealer in alerting local police to a suspicious character, and a prompt and vigorous response by the Killeen Police Department, we may well have averted a repeat of the tragic 2009 radical Islamic terror attack on our nation’s largest military installation. We now have an example of what works to prevent these type attacks, and as the coming days reveal more details about this attempt, we can determine better ways to thwart similar efforts in the future.”

According to preliminary information provided to Carter’s office, Killeen gun dealer Guns Galore, the same store used by November 5, 2009 Fort Hood shooting suspect Major Nidal Hasan to purchase weapons used in that attack, called Killeen police concerning a “suspicious male” who purchased gunpowder, shotgun ammunition, and magazine for a semi-automatic handgun.

Killeen police investigations revealed the suspect also purchased uniforms with Fort Hood unit patches from a local military surplus store. On questioning, the suspect reportedly admitted to planning an attack on Fort Hood, and was taken into custody last night.

The suspect is identified only as U.S. Army PFC Abdul, and is allegedly AWOL from Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Unconfirmed news reports say two more soldiers in possession of weapons may have been taken into custody today in the case.

Carter, a former Texas judge, says a full investigation of the attempt should answer whether the suspect or suspects had previously been identified by the Army as security threats, what actions had been taken in the event there was any prior display of suspicious activities or behavior, and whether there are any links to known terrorists groups or individuals.

If you see something, say something — even if the usual suspects will whip out their “Islamophobia!” tar brushes faster than Quick Draw McGraw.

You don’t understand.., it was a really, really nice restroom! Never been one to loiter in the M/R but having it all to yourself ( sans homeless guy treating sink as ‘shower’, umpteen rugrats and gangbangers ) seemed like a shame to rush things?

Where???

Makati, the financial district, Quezon City they’re as common as they are here but off EDSA Ave. etc. forget it.

I really miss the Gapo “pee troughs” though? Step right up! Best practice is to take a deep breath prior. The American Legion on Magsasay always had TP. Post Cdr’s most important ‘function’.

Good call. In general best to TCB before heading out the main gate or face the consequences.

We realize to some this borders on scatalogical but it really was a concern.

What did the gun dealer see that caused the suspicion? Were this known, then others would know what to look for and be able to say something.

well these ungrateful Islamists, all this crap after the U.S. State Dept. has given, that’s given over $170,000,000 to restore mosques in the middle east. Our traitorous State Dept. lead by Mrs. Nation Builder herself Hillary.

when we conservatives retake the WH and the Senate every dept, needs to be whittle down to nothing or revamped to do the basics done with minimal budget, nay, just cut em off.

Actually, EDSA winds around the east side all the way from Pasay in the south to Caloocan – including Makati and Quezon City. But you’re right about most the neighborhoods. As I recall, restrooms were not a problem for the nationals anyhow. Guys would just let her fly on any wall or post. Freedom!

“…a “suspicious male” who purchased gunpowder, shotgun ammunition, and magazine for a semi-automatic handgun.”

For starters, if you’re buying powder it’s to load your own shot. You’d be buying cases, shot or slugs & primers etc. – not loaded shotgun cartridges with it.

Who knows what else they noticed. I’m thinking this is the same shop that sold Hasan his weapons. They knew this guy didn’t add up. You don’t suppose they “profiled” a nice Muslim fella, do ya?

The Muslim wannabe Mujaheddin was granted CO status by the military because he didn’t want to deploy to Afghanistan and fight.

But his peace-loving “Muslim beliefs” don’t seem keep him from wanting to kill American troops on an American base!

So engaging in warfare according to international law is unacceptable but gunning down unarmed troops on post is “a okay” for this traitor!

Blood boiling yet? It ought to be!

Pfc. Naser Abdo, a 21-year-old soldier granted conscientious objector status this year after he said his Muslim beliefs prevented him from fighting, was arrested Wednesday. Agents found firearms and “items that could be identified as bomb-making components, including gunpowder,” in his motel room, according to FBI spokesman Erik Vasys.

Let’s not put the good guys in the position of having to tell us how they go about doing these things. It just tells the bad guys how they need to plug up the holes that get them caught.

I’m not bad mouthing anyone. I understand the curiosity. Defense attorneys have done a marvelous job of bringing out this kind of information over the years in court though, which in turn, tells the bad guys exactly how to manage breaking the law without getting caught.

How much of Major Hasan’s salary is going directly to finance Jihad? I expect he as an automatic payment plan worked out.

It is inconceivable that this guy hasn’t been tried, convicted and hung by now…

…dragging on this long for a guy that is clearly guilty. Multiple witnesses, getting capped in the act, etc.

Imagine the delays and the circus if those nitwits Holder and Urkel were successful in trying KSM and other Gitmo jihadis in civilian courts?

Everyone of the jihadis would have died of old age.

Luckily this gun dealer wasn’t involved in some asinine ATF Operation Camel Walker or something.

Lots of us are having trouble posting and have been for a while. I use 2 open windows for the MM site. After pressing the “submit comment” button once, I switch to the other window to continue reading while my comment gets posted. I’ve been doing this for a couple of months, as the site has gotten slower and slower. I had a family geek confirm that it was not my computer and that there are viruses hidden in the ads. The ads are taking way too much time to load, slowing down the site.

I don’t recall what article it was, but at some point last year Michelle wrote an article that IIRC was critical of Google or something. Shortly after, there were numerous problems with ads slowing or not loading or causing this site not to load at all.

Given I have moved, I have a poor interwebtubes connection and had a tough time loading this site at any time.

I got Adblock and it has helped a bit, but there are still times when an adserver needs to be kicked. Back before Adblock, when I loaded a page, you could see the different URL’s that loaded by looking in the lower left of Firefox. It always choked on some ad server.

Running it now, I’ve never had problems posting like I see others having here.

The Koran is pretty much child porn; while most “martyrs” get 72 virgins “Quran 4:76 Those so inclined – ” boys eternally young”, “hairless except the eyebrows and the head”, “pure”, “beautiful”,

One news story detailed Nasser Abdo’s conversation with the judge today whether or not he could understand the charges… he replied he graduated high school and had one year of college.

I gleaned from Fox TV 4 in Dallas (on-line) that his father was a muslim Palestinian and his mother a Christian American. He adopted the father’s religion at 17. … and from the Fox article this:

“Abdo enlisted at the age of 19 after attending the University of Dubai.”

THAT explains the year of “college.” That’s what they are calling jihadi training now… college? And the State Department has records of his travel to Dubai and subsequent enlistment? This was only 2 years ago. Sistuh Napolitano had already set up shop by then to protect us. And the Army? They obviously do not screen for foreign “college” studies . . .

He apparently wished to bomb an off-base restaurant full of soldiers. Then shoot the survivors or rescuers Palestinian-style. That being in Texas, I hope the off-base GIs can pack personal weapons.
