"Three blocks of Wisconsin Avenue Northwest were cleared of cars and pedestrians. Adjacent buildings and restaurants were evacuated..."
"DC Security Scare Becomes Federal Case," by Bob Barnard for MyFoxDC, October 8 (thanks to Heidi):
The fact that mosques were included will no doubt be used to "prove" that Ahamed Ali is just a garden-variety lunatic, and not an Islamic jihadist. And he may indeed be a lunatic and not a jihadist. But with the numerous incidents of violence against mosques in Iraq and elsewhere, perpetrated by Muslims of opposing sects, the fact that his notebook contained diagrams of mosques doesn't indicate anything conclusive.WASHINGTON, D.C. - A man who was arrested in a security scare in Northwest D.C. on Tuesday night threatened to blow up the Friendship Heights Metro station, according to a criminal complaint in the case.
It was a chaotic scene Tuesday night in Friendship Heights when three blocks of Wisconsin Avenue Northwest were cleared of cars and pedestrians. Adjacent buildings and restaurants were evacuated, including both Mazza Gallerie and Chevy Chase Pavilion.
It all happened because of a young man who was caught on camera by FOX 5 sitting in on the sidewalk along Wisconsin Avenue wearing a blue sweater and handcuffs.
Police say the man's name is Ahamed Ali, based on a driver license from Bangladesh. Witnesses and police say Ali had been hanging around Chevy Chase Pavilion for a couple of days, taking notes, making threats, and acting strangely.
Now, according to a police report obtained by FOX 5, more is known about what had concerned passersby and police.
Investigators say Ali was overheard calling out: "I'm not scared to die! I will kill you! I will blow people up and the Metro!"
"He made some statements, threatening individuals," said Sgt. Guy Poirier of the Joint Terrorist Task Force. "At that point we had to take him at his word, what he meant."
Sgt. Poirier says this was not an overblown response.
"Metropolitan Police Department takes everything serious," he said. "We take it as a real event until we can prove otherwise."...
Detectives also searched Ali's backpack right on the sidewalk in front of the Cheesecake Factory. In the backpack, police say they found a notebook with "I will kill you" written inside. It contained diagrams of bridges, mosques and other buildings in Washington....
"Investigators say Ali was overheard calling out: "I'm not scared to die! I will kill you! I will blow people up and the Metro!"
You know, we never had this in our country until there was Islam in it.
Just an observation.
"The fact that mosques were included will no doubt be used to "prove" that Ahamed Ali is just a garden-variety lunatic, and not an Islamic jihadist. And he may indeed be a lunatic and not a jihadist. But with the numerous incidents of violence against mosques in Iraq and elsewhere, perpetrated by Muslims of opposing sects, the fact that his notebook contained diagrams of mosques doesn't indicate anything conclusive."
I would agree.
Though I have to say he looks more retarded than Jihadist.
However, that doesn't mean anything. I think your analysis is correct for now until more evidence is provided.
There is no such category as a Muslim who is "just a lunatic".
All lunacy that occurs among Muslims is Islamic. Islam is a many-splendored rainbow of flavors and gradations of lunacy.
In the non-Muslim world -- outside of intensely close-knit, backward tribal societies that have ceased to exist within the West for a millennium or so -- there indeed exists this category of "just a lunatic". No so with Muslims. They belong to the largest close-knit, backward tribal society in history, Islam. In the future when the social and psychological sciences will have reflected the return of rationality to the West, they will first determine the degree to which the Muslim lunatic in question has lost his Islam, before assigning him the privilege of being "just a lunatic" in the broader sense that occurs in humanity at large outside Muslimkind.
The diagrams of mosques in Ali's notebook certainly were not intended targets in its (not his) plans, but certainly sources of inspiration for them.

Oh my God!
Peace Nobel for the Messiah. The big Zero. My day is perfectly ruined.
I am just looking at the report on the news. And i am wondering: obama has been in office for just 10 months, what has he acheived so far???? NOTHING, the loser wasn't even able to bring the Olympic games to his hometown (despite all the starpower he had with him)Chicago and yet they award this guy with the Nobel peace prize. They must have lost their minds over there.
Ah well that whole Nobel peace prize thingy is just junk since they awarded it to that filthy terrorist jassar Arafat. So let the obamaniacs lose their minds over a junk medal
He looks like your garden variety Muslim cuke.
No more kooky that Nobel Peace Prize committee
Muhammad El Baredi got robbed!
He should have gotten the Peace Prize
I can see Letterman tonight going-- "How about that kooky and crazy Nobel Peace Prize committee?"
Would be interesting to find out how much muslim involvement there is with the Nobel people these days.........are they oil bought?
A simple solution - deport them.
Maimonides called Mohamed "Ha Meshugga"
Which means "the crazy one"
Others have done research that says that Mohamed was an epileptic whose divine revelations were actually hallucinations he had while in the grip of seizures
All Muslims are directed to emulate their prophet so this Ahamad Ali was merely emulating Muhammad's craziness
BO for Peace Prize. Oh dear.
What has he done? A few meaningless addresses here and there, other boring formalities, kowtowing deferentially to the Saudi prince like a slave and displaying his complete ignorance of Islam.
The Peace Prize ought to go to Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She's done more in word and deed to expose the horrors of Islam, which is the free world's enemy, so ordinary folks can see it for what it actually is and take appropriate action.
Darcy, we never had a lot of horrible, negative things in our countries before islam arrived. It's very sad.
I laughed like mad hearing the news because just a couple of days ago I jokingly mentioned such a possibility to a friend who responded with saying it is inevitable rather than just possible. Really, if Carter, Arafat and Al Gore got the nobel prize why should not Hussein Obama?
Or why should only white fools be paid tribute for their idiocy? Isn't about time Nobel Prize Committee recognizes and honor a black idiot?
"Really, if Carter, Arafat and Al Gore got the Nobel prize why should not Hussein Obama?" - Thomas h
So right.
When I first heard the stunning news this morning, my first thought was "What in the heck has he done to merit this?"
It's absurd. Maybe they felt like they should give it to him as a consolation prize for losing the Chicago bid! lol
Ali had been hanging around ... for a couple of days, taking notes, making threats, and acting strangely.
Sounds like he was just being a Moslem is all. Is that a crime? This fine young men was only doing 33:21, emulating the most excellent example of Mohammed, who stood on Main St. Mecca all day long every day casting aspersions and threats to the pagan passersby. It got so bad that the authorities finally had to throw his brown ass outta town.
*** 9:5 ***
And he may indeed be a lunatic and not a jihadist.
Uh, I don't see where these two things are mutually exclusive. In fact, with Moslems, don't they go hand-in-hand? Is there a dialectic going on here that I'm missing?
*** 2:138 ***
We take it as a real event until we can prove otherwise.
Oh, Moslems are real alright. Real intense, real self-important, real pompous, real costly, real dangerous, and really really tiresome. A Moslem just showing up in a room or a public space is an even unto itself.
Can't they all just pack their bags and go away? Move up to Canada and leave us the Hell alone.
Surely this is the run up and practice for the jihadis. Soon, they will have bomb-belts to fulfill their threats, and as in Israel (and Europe), our countrymen will be blown out of their trains and cafes! Yes, keep that door wide open, let them in, so that they may repay our hospitality (and naivete) with exploding trains, cafes, etc.
Muslims never lie when they say they will kill you.
About the Joker's Nobel Prize-- he is a friend of Oprah's and he did try really hard to get the Olympics for Mr Daley. Oh, and he said "Yes, We Can!"
Re: darcy's comment about how we never had this type of thing before there was Islam in the US. Remember that Islamic fitna in the US didn't begin with 911, not even with the 1993 car-bombing of the WTC garage, but at least as far back as the 70s when a film about Mohammed premiered in Washington, D.C., and on March 9, 1977, a group of Muslims protesting its “blasphemous” portrayal of Mohammed attacked three buildings in downtown Washington D.C. and took 149 people hostage. Thirty-nine hours later, the siege was over -- a reporter was dead and dozens of hostages had been stabbed, beaten or shot. [I will confirm these details after I can get my hands on the sources -- the Washington Post and the Washington Star newspapers for March 10 and 11, 1977, as well as subsequent follow-up stories as the trials unfolded.]
"All lunacy that occurs among Muslims is Islamic"
Ah! So that is why they use the "crescent moon" on their flags?
Seriously, though, I think all Muslim terrorists have been given a bad rap!
They've locked these guys away at Gitmo and Abu Graib, tortured them, deprived them of dignity...
Why don't they, instead, just lock them up in high security forensic wards in psychiatric facilities so they can get the treatment they need.
If they're bad they can put them in "pink colored rubber rooms".
They'll learn "basket weaving", "painting", all kinds of nice, peaceful occupational therapies.
There'll be peace and quite and chirping birds and thumb-twiddlers and such. And they'll be given some really cool drugs that will take away their aggressive tendencies.
Who knows, maybe they'll even meet some nice, Catholic pedophile priests while they're in there, and may even become converts. Of course choosing the greater of two evils may seem difficult at first.
Hesperado
we in Australia can cap you that, re. first known instance of Mohammedan mayhem against Infidels on Australian soil.
*Ours* dates from - wait for it - 1915.
http://www.brokenhill.nsw.gov.au/about/1002/4058.html
And since links sometimes break, and I want this story to be more generally known, here's the text:
On New Years Day 1915, Broken Hill was the scene of the only enemy attack on Australian soil when, only four months before the Anzacs fought the Turks at Gallipoli, a picnic train on its way to Silverton came under attack.
"On New Years Day 1915, the Local Branch of the Manchester unity Order of Oddfellows was to celebrate its annual picnic. At 10 o’clock the picnickers set out, pack in a train of ore-trucks on the Silverton Tramway.
The train had gone only two miles when an ice-cream cart flying the Turkish flag was noticed beside the railway line. Nearby on the bank of the long pipeline, from Umberumberka dam were two men with rifles. Originally thought to be shooting rabbits, the two men were pouring their gunfire into the crowded ore trucks."
(Hmmm - wait a minute - this article used to be a lot longer. I can't find anything to click on, to read the rest of it. Have the Thought Police have been at work eliminating things that might offend the members of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage?).
Let's see if I copied and filed the ORIGINAL full-length version.
Yes I did - hurray!
Here's the rest.
"Three Picnickers died {were murdered - dda} – one woman and two men – and another six were seriously injured.
"The two gunmen were locals of Indian/Afghan origin and Turkish Sympathisers. The elder was Mullah ‘Abdullah, a long-time Broken Hill butcher, and the younger was Goal Mahammed, an ice-cream vendor.
{observe the names: Abdullah and Mahammad - MUSLIM names; and the absolutely typical Muslim professions - the butcher, and ...the oh-so-innocent icecream vendor, just like that Afghan jihadist in NYC, with his coffee van.. But note that the entire article never actually mentions the fact that the attackers were MUSLIMS, and that that is *why* they could be described as 'Turkish sympathisers', or that they were probably obeying the last Caliph's summons to Jihad}.
"As soon as the train was clear of danger a telephone message was sent to the police.
"A number of police, together with as many soldiers as could be gathered and some rifle club members, hurried out to the scene.
"Meanwhile the two attackers called at a cottage and shot its occupant.
"They then retired to rocky hill where one of the police who came upon them unexpectedly was wounded.
"The fight lasted till past noon in which some of the local Indians {hmm - I suspect they may not have been Mohammedans, but Sikhs and/ or Hindus - dda} among others helped the police.
"Many of the infuriated citizens of Broken Hill attributed it to German agitation. {oh dear! dhimmi attitudes, and refusal to see the flaming obvious, that long ago - dda}.
" The German Club was burned that night by a crowd.
"The police and soldiers had difficulty in preventing an attack on the camp of ‘Afghan’ camel drivers outside the town.
"The following day, one of the mines took steps to rid itself of employees of enemy nationality. Mr Hughes, Attorney-General of the Commonwealth remarked that the incident pointed to the danger of leaving enemy subjects at large.
Original paper clippings, guns and relics can be seen at the Railway Museum and Silverton Gaol."
Toll from this particular Jihad Raid: three non-Muslim Australians killed outright; eight wounded.
Curiously, the report as I recorded it, from the Broken Hill tourism website in 2008, contains no word on what happened to the two 'Afghan/ Indian' Muslims who carried out the raid - killed while resisting arrest? captured, tried, and subsequently hanged?
From the article - "I will kill you!"
Sounds like Achmed the Dead Terrorist in that satirical comedy video clip that was circulating a while ago.
