More cell phone jihad. As I noted about another case recently, cell phones contain a chip that can be used as a detonator. They're also an easy source of money and a means, if quickly discarded, of untraceable communications. From Michigan's WNEM, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Around 1:00am August 11th 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 were described as being of Pakistani 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....

Gotta warn them to get ready to partee!
at August 11, 2006 4:18 PM
They may be just three guys trying to turn a buck by buying phones at a low price and selling them for a profit. We'll see. The truth is that no one would have payed any attention to their purchases (pre 911)-but now we have to pay attention to such purchases. (Thanks Islamic-Fascists.)
The Islamic-Fascists must be destroyed.

How come the Islamic-Fascists don't invent anything-but are proficient at murder? Posted by: FrankI wouldn't say they don't invent anything. After all, the idea of making any liquid/fluid/gel explosive, and triggerable from a cell phone is something that Muslims came up with. When it comes to inventing or developing things that will at least improve their own lives, it's the inshallah philosophy that reigns supreme; however, when it comes to blowing up infidels, then that's one job they are totally unwilling to simply leave to Allah.
Then, trust them to figure out that the RF chips in cellphones can be used as remote detonators.
Posted by: Infidel Pride at August 11, 2006 5:31 PM
ZenaWarriorPrincess-
If I remember correctly, the Algerian-Canadian student killed only female students in his rampage, but the PC crowd never showed that he was Islamic (though I think his mother was French). I think, at its core, Islam is about the control of women. (Control implies insecurity and fear.)
On a related matter, a woman in a burka is a bizarre site, and as someone once said, "A woman in a burka looks like death walking." It's Islam. It's about control and Submission.

That's weird, I read the whole article, and I didn't see the mandatory "Officials denied any connection to terrorism" statement. Someone at Michigan's WNEM needs to get with the program, their viewers might start to believe there might be something to this whole Islam-terrorism thing.
There are several teams of young men of Pakistani and/or Egyptian descent driving around the country collecting thousands of cell phones. I hope that alarm bells are ringing somewhere within the Administration, that something is going on. As it stands, our nation's security is in the hands of clerks at Walmarts.
Posted by: special_guest at August 11, 2006 5:51 PM
I gotta agree with Frank for several reasons:
-they stayed around for the FBI which they didn't have to since they weren't charged with anything
-the police said they were very cooperative
-lots of people do this kind of stuff.. look at messageboards like SlickDeals or FatWallet.. they buy and resell on ebay or at flea markets
-they were doing it early in the morning because the checkout lines are short and they can get the line quicker which is a necessity b/c of the 3 phone limit
-lots of indian/pakistanis do this kind of thing to make extra money of business.. maybe other immigrant groups do, too.. it's a low risk entrenpreneurial endeavor especially for people at their age (i.e. no money)..just being part of the American Dream
So, I'm guessing it's a false alarm.
Also, Pakistan is not in the Middle East.
Posted by: IreneFingIrene at August 11, 2006 5:52 PM
That's right, Pakistan is not in the Middle East. Plus they're our staunch allies! Wheh! Call off the investigation, nothing to see here folks, move along, false alarm.
No connection to terrorism. Now I feel better.
Posted by: special_guest at August 11, 2006 5:58 PM

Pakistan....Home to Bin Laden and his warlord bodyguards.
Home to terrorists who bomb Indians - like the train bombing recently.
Pakistan may not be 'geographically' in the middle-east, but these guys are part of the same line of ME thinking.....ISLAM
Sorry, but with 22 August coming up, I am hardly going to TRUST these guys as being poor immigrants trying to make a buck.
QUESTION FOLKS!>>>
Why were they separating the phones, batteries and plugs into boxes? Just curious - if anyone has any detective/mystery skills!
Who would they sell the phones to? Most Americans would not want to purchase from them outright and anyone with ANY sense would buy the phones from Wal-mart themselves! Try buying them on EBay and you have an additional shipping fee.
So, why were they buying 3 at a time....KNOWINGLY breaking the law?
No....i don't think this is as innocent as they would have us believe.
Posted by: The Goobs at August 11, 2006 6:04 PM
chill... I'm not saying that Pakistan is not knee deep in terrorists. Probably the biggest source after Iran, in my opinion. All I'm saying is that it is not in the Middle East.
Also, they were not breaking the law. They were breaking Wal-Mart policy.
The FBI is looking into it. I have no problem with that.. due diligence and all. But I'm guessing there is nothing nefarious.. just guessing. Time will tell.
Posted by: IreneFingIrene at August 11, 2006 6:08 PM
And why are these people still here?
Where is our US immigration dept?
How many more of them are there than illegal latinos (with whom I have no issue)?
Where is the outrage from our "representatives' duly elected to represent us?
Why aren't all these "peaceful" Muslims being rounded up... ask Louis Ferrakhan!!! Now there's a conundrum!!
It won't happen. too many have now moved in to work the gas stations and convenience stores. What happened? Why only 20 years ago there were none.
Woops... guess they sneaked up on us and fooled us, huh?
WAKE UP!!! Alert-Up-USA!!!
I try to talk about this stuff at work, and it is surreal. It is as though nothing is going on. No one even wants to acknowledge it. Now, THAT is really scary. Even un-news alert friends have no idea.
Of course, that makes me look like an alarmist.

ssa, that is bad news about Israel and the U.N. resolution.
It was the Lebanese prime minister who said that Hizb'Allah is the only thing stopping Israel from invading Lebanon. Even if the Lebanese army were willing to kill their fellow Muslim warriors in Hizb'Allah in order to save the lives of Jews (hahaha, sometimes I crack myself up), they don't have the ability to disarm the Iranian-supplied Hizb'Allah. Hizb'Allah has freakin' anti-ship missiles, the Lebanese army is armed with sticks and dirty looks.
And increasing the U.N. "peacekeepers" (hahaha, there it is again!) will simply be increasing the number of human shields for Hizb'Allah to hide behind as they re-arm and resume their attacks against Israel. Very disheartening.
And, yes, Pakistan is our "staunch ally", our "firm ally", our "trusted ally", in the "global war on extremist terrorism". Didn't you read the NYT article that Hugh quoted a week ago? Only Saudi Arabia and UAE are "staunchier" allies.

You're in good company. We are well-educated, intelligent people who run a successful consultancy and yet, if we discuss Islam with most folks, they simply do not get it. You DO risk sounding like a fanatic or alarmist or doomsdayer to people who haven't a clue what's happening in the world. They get in their pickup trucks and go to work and seem completely unaware of what is happening around them.
I call them the walking dead.
I blame our media for this. I lived in England for 7 years. Moving back to the States, I have felt cut off from the rest of the world. I rely on the internet for keeping up to date on politics and world events.
Our local news channels report corn futures and useless news from around town as though the rest of the world does not exist.

Thanks.
How many more times do they need to come right out and tell us what they are going to do, then do it and we do nothing that will reach them where they live.
They are hitting us not with bombs nearly as much as they are trying to manipulate the economy and social behavior. Sure, a bomb or two will freak everyone out, but the real threat is so far beyond that that the implications are massive...as we are seeing.
I do not expect any of this to stop or lessen or weaken or go away. It has been happening over and over again, and will continue until we find a way to unhinge their motive and method.
Everywhere but in the US proper, has this been going on. I have travelled all over the world, and have been through so many security checks, that when I come home, I don't know how to act.
I am so frustrated about trying to reach my friends Bubba, and Billy Bob, who might be waking up. Especially frustrating, are the corporate execs and managers - Franks, Dans, Roberts and really intelligent, but asleep people. The mind lock is the "project" and the "delivery date"... etc.
The asleepness is the result of our own culture. Not all bad, but those in it must preserve it by waking up.
Thanks for the rant space.

Hey, guys, don't be too discouraged. It appears to me that the American public are starting to wake up. Because of the blogosphere, people in other countries also are beginning to learn more about what's really going on.
I don't know what to believe about August 22, I hope and pray nothing happens, but if it does, I trust the Ever-Living One, so I'm not too shook up about it.
It may be that the tide is turning. Especially effective are the exposures of the fraudulent pictures from Lebanon, etc. People are beginning to see that Islamic morality is utterly divergent from Western morality, i.e., lying, stealing, killing, rioting, looting, destroying, hey, they are all okay in the Ummah as long as they're against 1) infidels, 2)heretical Muslims. So take heart. It's not over til it's over.

From High Wycombe to Nazareth
How I Found Myself with the Islamic Fascists
By JONATHAN COOK
What could possibly motivate people like this guy? Self-hate? A pathological case of liberalism? And does he think that if AlQaida got their hands on him they would consider him a honorary Muslim and be spared decapitatation?
at August 11, 2006 7:53 PM
Jonathan Cook may be a demented true believer -- that business about Muslims having no way to vent their rage will come as quite a surprise to people in southern Sudan, southern Nigeria, southern Thailand, southern Philippines, not to mention those Hindu villagers beaten to death in Bangladesh or murdered in other ways in Kashmir and even deep into India. And it will come as a surprise to all non-Muslims forced to endure life in Muslim countries. But he is not only a True Believer, who thinks the West is "seizing the oil" of the MIddle East. Good God. He is also on someone's payroll. How else could he be living, and working, and churning out anti-Israel (i.e., antisemitic) propaganda in Nazareth, were he not supported? A True Believer, but one who gets paid for his efforts.
Posted by: Hugh at August 11, 2006 8:32 PM
I believe Jonathan Cook is Jewish and an Israeli citizen. He would not be allowed to live and work there otherwise.
Self-hate is my guess.

Actually, I think that the North Koreans came up with this trick and are 1 for 1, having taken down a South Korean plane in the (early 1990s?).
Our friends from Islam are now 0 for 22. Unfortunately, they are persistent.
at August 11, 2006 10:28 PM
They were probably just buying cell phones to spread the joy of Islam. Or maybe they were using them to give the many Muslims they know a free way to contact the police if they suspect devious behavior.
Posted by: zooboomafoo at August 11, 2006 11:03 PM
More like Damned if you do, Damned if you dont. The Muslims will kill us if we don't convert, submit to second class citizens, (aka, women, slaves, monkeys) or die. Or if we fight them, then we die or will be killed. Hmmm, you have a fight on your hands that you would wish the crusades could have topped.

This belongs on the "Stupid-Things-Criminals-Do Show". Don't get me wrong, I'm glad these guys were stupid and got caught; but the only red-flag missing would have been for the three of them to choir out a "Death to America" song while shopping in Wal-Mart. They could not have been more obvious.

So when did it become mainstream to be able to vent rage? What shall we do with our rage? Oh, diplomacy. When has rage ever been a reason for anything other than imprisionment? When I was five, my parents controlled my "rage". Yet we should be afraid of the rage of Muslims? I thought we have already seen that 911 to mention only one. So it stops when we what? Give in to rage? What a joke. Falls in line with the kill you now, or kill you later crowd. I am starting to think that certain individuals have no self control. I guess that is what sharia is all about. You know, cut off some limbs, hang some invalids, decapitate a few, mutilate a few women, you know, the norm, shoot some rockets. Bomb some planes, all in tolerance and peace.

Okay, it is obvious they were not interested in the cell phones as cell phones - otherwise they wouldn't have been discarding the batteries and chargers. They want something that is located within the phone itself - probably the chip that can be used to detonate explosives.

Posted by: Ronin at August 12, 2006 1:01 AM
I think that many of you are missing the essential point here. The plot to blow up several planes (probably sixteen) was, apparently, hatched by al-quaida, in some form or another, but was to be executed using British moslems, British airspace, British security, British airports and, by all accounts so far, materielle purchased in Britain. Obviously, my country is perceived by the islamofascists as weak and ineffective. However, this is not the case, since British Intelligence, British police, British financial institutions and British companies thwarted the proposed, alleged attacks.
Has it ever occurred to any of you in the USA that we Brits seldom say exactly what we mean, seldom give anybody a clue as to exactly what we think, seldom tell the whole truth, or indeed any truth at all when a lie might just, possibly, work better, seldom actually stick by any agreement which is not in our favour - in short, we are the past masters (by several hundred years) in the nefarious arts of taqiya and kitman.
Despite all sorts of attempts to impose Sharia Law upon us (or at least some parts of it) we have remained sublimely resistant to such proposals. For the vast majority of us the idea that we should help moslems to integrate (i.e. give into them) is still the most risible thing that we have ever heard. Moslems in British society, at all levels, remain beyond the pale, unintegrated, unaccepted, outcast, reviled, objects of ridicule and disgust. They have singularly failed to cross what we normally refer to as the marriage hurdle - the point at which an immigrant community can say it has been accepted (roughly, when about thirty per cent of marriages in such a community involve one or other of the partners coming from a long established (three-hundred years or more) British family.
Most of you in the USA have absolutely no conception of how little attention is paid by the average Brit to his/her government. The government has very little influence on our day-to-day lives. Most of us lie, cheat, twist our affairs and generally ignore the government. Most of us laugh at the idea that the British government has more than a passing reference to our lives. You probably think that we take elections seriously. Think again! For most of us they are nothing more than a glorified opinion pole and really we couldn't care less who is elected to represent us. Most British people see politics for the stupidity it really is.
Britain is not an easy country to govern. The official, known about by government, economy places us third or fourth in the world rankings of economies. It is generally estimated, however, by Her Majesty's Treasury, that the black (illegal - whatever the hell that might mean) British economy is four to six times larger than the official economy. Certainly, the strength of the British exchange rate (£ to all other currencies) is not supported out by the size of the official economy but is manifestly and obviously supported by the black economy.
Our society, likewise, is not summed up by simplistic newspaper reports, oversimplifications by line services such as Reuters or AP, wishful thinking by American freepers or stupidities vocalised by supercilious American government officials whose world view could be cogently summarised by the words of Sullivan - "It is much easier to make measurements than to know exactly what you are measuring".
It amuses me, and, I presume, most British posters to this site, that you Americans think that you can predict the future of the UK, predict what we will think or do, predict how we will feel and respond. We are a deeply violent people, a deeply duplicitous people, sneaky, without conscience (except where our own self-interests lie), self-centered and wholly pre-occupied by our own comfort and our own self-preservation. If the moslem invaders ever really do truly get on our wick then, believe me, we will deal with them ruthlessly, just as we always have done with every other immigrant group. We are not a pleasant people - read our history. Whatever fictions you Americans might entertain about us dispell yourselves of them. We are not nice and we bite.
For example, you helped us out in '39 through '45. You could have expected some degree of gratitude. Instead what you got was, in 1946, a prominent British politician saying, with the vociferous approval of most British people, "Damn the Americans, the most ill-bred, mongrel apologists for reaction whom I have ever encountered". We're nasty, and when the time comes we will be nasty again. Make no mistake, most Brits just don't like anybody else and that includes you (regretably - and the French, but then, who likes the French) and the moslems, with whom we will deal, in the appropriate fashion, at the appropriate time - and you probably won't like that, either.

"... of Pakistani descent but live in Texas.."
Yes, indeed. Give us their addresses and we can keep an eye on them. Or give us their names and dates of birth, and we can run their drivers' licenses.
Frankly, I don't really think the chips inside those cellphones are used for bomb-making. I believe the chips that the articles are referring to are the memory chips. These can be transferred from the phone they are with at the time of purchase to any other phone, retaining the memory of the number assigned at the time of purchase.
The chips are like the little memory cards in a digital camera, but a little smaller. They can be mailed, or sent by carrier pidgeon, or inserted in a body cavity and carried through customs. Installed in another cellphone, they will make it operational and charges are billed to the number assigned at the time of purchase.
The circuitry necessary for bomb detonation is in the phone, not the memory chip.
A much better and cheaper device to trigger an explosive is the remote control system from the toy cars at Radio Shack. These have been used in Iraq with great effect.

Quake money’ used to finance UK plane bombing plot
Excerpt:
KARACHI: A UK-based Islamic charity organisation remitted a huge amount of money to three individuals in three different bank accounts in Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, in December last year with the sole purpose of helping its recipients and their organisations carry out the aircraft bombing plan in the UK, insider sources told Daily Times yesterday.
An investigation carried out by Daily Times showed that Muslim Charity of UK remitted not so long ago a huge amount of money under the head of “earthquake relief” to the accounts of three individuals in three different banks — Saudi Pak Bank, Standard Chartered and Habib Bank Ltd.
