THREE MIDDLE EASTERN MEN CAUGHT BUYING 1000 CELL PHONES IN MICHIGAN . . .


[+] serious ballot by herzog
created Fri Aug 11, 06

(TV5) -- The three suspects are now facing two counts each of Homeland Security Terrorism charges. All three suspects are due to be arraigned August 12th.

Around 1:00am August 11th the three men purchased cell phones from the Wal-Mart store on M-81 near the corner of M-24 in Caro. Wal-Mart places a limit on the number of cell phones that can be purchased at once, that number is three. The three men allegedly bought 80 by purchasing them three at time so that an alert wouldn't be triggered by the cash register. They also paid cash.

An alert clerk grew suspicious and called Tuscola County central dispatch. The Caro Police Department sent a unit and stopped the rented van on M-81 just east of Caro. The suspects were headed towards Bad Axe on M-81 where there is another Super Wal-Mart.

The three men are described as being of Palestinian descent but live in Texas. Police say the three, ages 19, 22, and 23 appear to be naturalized citizens.

One man was driving while the other two were in the back opening the phone packages with box cutters throwing the phones in one box, batteries in another and the packaging and phone charger in another container. The suspects had 1000 other cell phones in the van. There was also a bag of receipts showing that someone was in Wisconsin the day before.
. . .
Tim Nausler with the Michigan State Police bomb squad says this has all the tell tale signs of using cell phones to detonate bombs. He says you need two phones to detonate a bomb one to be with the explosive and the other to make the call to that phone. In some instances he says you can detonate with one phone using the alarm clock function.

A thousand cell phones at 15 dollars each (at least). You dont spend that kind of money unless it's for something really important...

My guess is that they were going to stage an pro-enviroment/anti-plastic packaging rally.

I wonder if people are gonna move away again because of this:)

Yeah, pretty obvious. This is one of the things that Homeland Security watches for.

Let me guess, they were going to ring-tone the bridge with all 1,000 cellphones and make it collapse! Not likely.

They were probably just selling them and doing business out of the back of a van since it's cheaper than renting a shop.

herzog ... just out of curiosity ... what *is* the point of this ballot?

I think I know ... and I think I know what you will say to try to cover it up ... but I still want to hear you say it.

Damn. Those yukkaz must be STREET! Talk about posing at the airport.

An update -- just found this clip:

"The FBI said Monday it had no information to indicate that the three Texas men arrested with about 1,000 cell phones in their van had any direct connection to known terrorist groups."

"Also, a prosecutor in a separate Ohio case said he can't prove a terrorism link to two men arrested after buying large numbers of cell phones and will drop terrorism charges against them."

So you can all stop wetting your pants in fear -- seems as if your government acknowledges there are no terrorists under the bed ...

(shines flashlight under face) ... THIS TIME!

As I said, "I guess they were going to ring-tone the bridge with all 1,000 cellphones and make it collapse! Not likely."

You fools lose credibility everytime you do the booga-booga baloney with fake terrorists and fairytales.

Cath: I never said they were terrorists.

I said it was suspicious.

Now, do you routinely buy thousands of cell-phones for kicks? No, nevermind, I don't want to know.
by herzog on Fri Aug 25, 06 10:47pm [+]

small time entrepreneurs will usually buy cellphones by the thousand if it's their business to sell cellphones - which is exactly what they were doing. Cops and those Homeland Security facists trying to pretend that they were terrorists is ridiculous.
