Osama Haroon Satti
Jihad in Tyler, Texas? From Dallas/Fort Worth's CBS-11, with thanks to El Colombiano:
TYLER, TX. -- A virtually unnoticed federal arrest here this Spring of a well-educated Pakistani man caught trying to buy illegal silencers, firearms and C-4 explosives has set off a nationwide FBI counterterrorism investigation, CBS-11 has learned.The investigation centers on whether Osama Haroon Satti, 35, came to Tyler on behalf of a terrorist cell hoping to arm for a plot to rob and murder wealthy Jews and other non-Muslims on the West Coast, sources familiar with the FBI investigation tell CBS-11. Satti is currently in federal custody on charges of buying an illegal silencer and handgun.
Federal prosecutors connected to the case have declined to comment.
Satti has remained tight-lipped so far with investigators who, sources tell CBS-11, are urgently seeking answers about his stated plans to buy explosives along with up to 20 more silencers capable of firing 100 bullets each before wearing out.
Satti, who currently lives in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Falls Church, Va., did not respond to a CBS-11 request for comment as he was being led away in chains after a recent court appearance in Tyler.
His public defender, Greg Waldron, declined interview requests, in deference to the continuing FBI investigation. He noted only that his client has pleaded not guilty.
The FBI's investigation searching for any possible ties between Satti and foreign terror groups has expanded nationwide since a federal sting ensnared him March 8 inside a Tyler Hampton Inn Hotel room for buying an illegal handgun and silencer, CBS-11 News has learned.
Current and former FBI agents tell CBS-11 that the arrest of Satti justifies the aggressive national investigation based, at least in part, on the fact that Satti is so well-educated and from a country on the State Department’s terrorist watch list.
“You’re not dealing with some deadhead. You’re dealing with an educated individual who’s on the same playing field as the investigators,” said Tino Perez, who recently retired as a supervisor of the Dallas FBI’s International Terrorism squad. Perez has no direct knowledge about the investigation.
“I’d treat it as a serous thing. I would want to know foremost if he was part of a network, or if he was acting alone.”
Investigators, at least initially, were particularly interested in whether Satti might be connected to the Al-Quaeda-supported terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan. This summer, the government charged eleven reputed members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, two of them Pakistani nationals, with a variety of terrorist activities in the same suburb where Satti lives. ...
According to an affidavit unsealed in connection to the firearms charge, Satti returned in March demonstrating an in-depth knowledge of weapons and carrying thousands of dollars in cash.
During a joint undercover ATF and FBI operation, Satti bought one silencer and one handgun and spoke of plans by unnamed but similar-minded Muslims to kill and rob Jews and non-Muslims, including gays, CBS-11 has learned. Experts say many Islamic extremists are as obsessed with gays as they are Jews.
Fed on a diet of unremitting poison about Jews - 99% of Pakistanis have never met one - it is unsurprising. The US would do well to cease calling this dysfunctional state as an ally. These are the guys who are pioneers in the gory habit of beheading people - something that has hit today's headlines- in 1995 they beheaded a Norwegian tourist in Kashmir and more recently a few weeks ago they beheaded a young woman and her daughter - their only crime the male in the house was a cop.

Yes indeed. You're into real frothing at the mouth country with some of them.
Someone called me Islamophobic. I said, I'm gay. Being buried alive, being thrown from high buildings, being beheaded... Yup, I'm phobic about those things, you better believe it.
The islamo-fascist tirade against gays cracks me up! Most of them are latent homosexuals, pedophiles, or both! Guess attacking open homosexuals is their way of venting their own self hatred.
An ex-Muslim female was talking about the hidden homosexuality in Islam at Faithfreedom forum a while back.
I think a lot of it is situational, you know? If there aren't any women around, lots of straight guys will give it a try, as an alternative to nothing. Prisons, boarding schools... Those people aren't homosexual, not really.
Of course, some of them find out that they are. You've been told all your life that homosexuals are degenerates who are going to hell, and then you discover... That's when the mouth-frothing starts.
Guess now some lib's might get right with the WAR.
Now that it is out that they don't kill Jews and Chirstains

I am more concerned that this butchery will be used by Kerry and Co. to beat down the president some more. If he gets in, pulls us out of Iraq and hands our security to the UN, guess what? When the attacks on us continue during his reign, he will likely blame Bush for That, also.
Sorry. Commenting on the story Below this one. Time to go to Sleep.
The United States never declared war on Iraq. Congress simply gave Bush the authority to mount an offensive against anyone.
What do so many of these stories have in common? Geography; Northern Virginia to be specific. I've worked there for the last 16 years, and it is a hotbed of fever-swamp jihadism. One need not be a student of islam to get the idea of where infidels stand. In my line of work as a paramedic/firefighter I've had many occasions to treat--in some cases save the lives of--funadamentalist muslims. The ones who aren't unconscious are almost universal in their contempt for me, the guy making them well and whole. It's almost a resentment of the fact that I have knowledge and/or skills that, for however brief a period of time, put me in control of them. Of course, being 6'2" and weighing in at around 200 has--so far at least--given even the most hostile ones pause. The fact that most of the guys I work with are my size or bigger works wonders on assorted family members and riffraff. LOL
Of course, none have pulled a gun as of yet.....
Muslims are obsessed with gays and Jews......they also appear to have a corpse fetish. Truly sick minded individuals. I watched alot of the news today and I have to say I've never heard more negative comments come out about islam than I did today......
This is a good thing.
They busted hoodjihadi?
What web site shows an unedited video of the slaughering and beheading of Mr. Berg? I could not find the one spoken of in today's news 5/11/04. For American adults this will steel our will for the pursuit of terrorist.
Thank you.
They busted HJ?
This is really going to cause the Loony Left to go even loonier. They give 'comfort' to the Arab/Islamic world by being against Bush and Israel. But these same people also support homosexual 'rights.' How are they going to deal with this information?
The Nazi movement started in a gay bar in (I think) Berlin. Many of the storm troopers were homosexuals. But it was the 'femmes' that they put into concentration camps, not the 'butch' types.
How about some of you patriotic
Artists and Photographers depicting
the true image of islam.
Each muslim mosk is actually
a SCROTUM (the DOME ) and
a PENUS (the MINARET ).
Go for it guys and gals.
Double expose the male genitalia
superimposed over the mosks of
the world.
The DOME OF THE ROCK will have
to show a mulim CASTRATION, for
it has no PENUS ( MINARET ).
FAX and email these pictures all
over the world, to every news
outlet and paper, to every embasy
and especially FRANCE - where
panties were invented.
It is true, muslims have been
F--King both themselves and
the West in the ass since the
first mosk was built.
GO FOR IT FOLKS!
Two books I recomend
1/The scramble for Africa
2/The crisis within islam - bernard lewis
the first has reference to what the british used to call " the arab disease" (sodomy)
they all love it despite condeming it in public, why those nice young boys waiting in heaven.
2/the crisis within islam.
the last paragraph goes like this (roughly)
"sooner or later the forces of radical islam and al queda type groups will clash with Russia China and India, it is unlikely that these countries will be as squemish as the west in dealing with this threat"
We (Indian people Hindus/sikhs/buddhist, christians, jews, parsi's) know the "NATURE OF THE BEAST"
Israel is the second largest supplier of weapons to india.
pakistan is an abortion born out of the hate of islam
Obsession with Jews and gays? where have we seen that before? oh yeah. Nazis.
but it's beyond the pale (to mix metaphors) to compare them to Nazis--you can only compare Israelis to nazis, right.
