Jihad Watch: FBI: "Extremists" Signing Up to Be School Bus Drivers

FBI: "Extremists" Signing Up to Be School Bus Drivers

Extreme what? Extreme skateboarders? Extreme Thomists? Anyway, nothing to be concerned about here at all, says the FBI. They just want us to be on the lookout for those extremist whatevers about whom we need not be concerned.

"FBI: Extremists Signing Up to Be School Bus Drivers," from AP, with thanks to all who sent this in:

WASHINGTON — Members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States, counterterror officials said Friday, in a cautionary bulletin to police. An FBI spokesman said "parents and children have nothing to fear."
Asked about the alert notice, the FBI's Rich Kolko said "there are no threats, no plots and no history leading us to believe there is any reason for concern," although law enforcement agencies around the country were asked to watch out for kids' safety.

The bulletin, parts of which were read to The Associated Press, did not say how often foreign extremists have sought to acquire licenses to drive school buses, or where. It was sent Friday as part of what officials said was a routine FBI and Homeland Security Department advisory to local law enforcement.

It noted "recent suspicious activity" by foreigners who either drive school buses or are licensed to drive them, according to a counterterror official who read parts of the document to The Associated Press.

Foreigners under recent investigation include "some with ties to extremist groups" who have been able to "purchase buses and acquire licenses," the bulletin says.

But Homeland Security and the FBI "have no information indicating these individuals are involved in a terrorist plot against the homeland," it says. The memo also notes: "Most attempts by foreign nationals in the United States to acquire school bus licenses to drive them are legitimate."

Huh?..."no history leading us to believe that there is any reason for concern"....is he kidding!

9/11 taught us that terrorists will use planes full of innocent passengers as bombs, why not buses full of innocent children.

This FBI agent doesn't know what he's talking about, or he doesn't want to create a panic.

Interesting.

FBI says nothing to fear. But they DO label the folks as extremists. Not retired history teachers or plumbers - but extremists. Extremists of a group where even the normal are prone to committing acts of terror.

Go to sleep folks - nothing to see here.

Should a Beslan style attack occur in the US as a result of this total inept political correctness gone amuck, I trust my fellow citizens will remember that the "FBI spokesman said "parents and children have nothing to fear" and hold him and his superiors accountable.

The memo says:
The memo also notes: "Most attempts by foreign nationals in the United States to acquire school bus licenses to drive them are legitimate."

Legitimate means what? The extremists have valid chauffeur's licenses?

Also what does 'most are legitimate' mean? Some extremists are illegal aliens or don't have green cards to work in the United States? MOST doesn't mean 'all' or 'every'. That is cause for concern as well.

Do some extremists attempt to buy buses or get chauffeur's licences ILLegitimately ( fraud ?)

WTF??????

I hope the memo text posted isn't the complete text of the FBI release and I hope the memo is more direct and understandable than the CYA-obfuscated BS that has been shown to us here.

FBI: who are you trying to protect? The people and their children in the United States or your bosses, appointed bureaucrats and f*ing politicians? I know what I think after reading this claptrap bullshi'ite...

Politicians and enforcement agencies aren't going to protect you people. They will simply file reports and shovel you remains into plastic bags after the extremists do the next big thing.

We deserve every attack they make on us at this point. Reading memos like this make me livid!

The good news is all people who are hired in school districts must be fingerprinted and have a federal background check run on them.
This is how these "extremists" are being found.

The bad news is what in the hell are extremists being left in this country and are not being deported?

Rhetorical question, because it is the communists at the State Department and the bribe boys at key government offices who do not want to offend either Pakistan allies or Saudi oil support. It cuts both party lines in Carter being the chief of ilk and certain Republicans who affirmative action 3rd worlders into executive positions to prove they too are multicultural.

There is not going to be any corking this if a Beslan occurs in America. The Americans will burn down Fallujah Detroit and politicians to save their own hides will be the first once again screaming for "George Bush do something do anything".
The Bush family just can no get it through it's head that the Saudi royals who are secular Islam are not the same as the nuts in the sand spits.

If these dopes allow our children to be slaughtered, this will lead to the Global Strike of Iran or the invasion and thermobaric to atomic neutralization of the Pakistani hinterlands.

ANTI-JIHAD ACTION ALERT!

1) Print out multiple copies of the F.B.I. alert.

2) Go to the authorities at your local school, show them the F.B.I. warning and ask for the names of all the school bus drivers.

3) Demand that all drivers with Arab-sounding names be fired. Note their response.

4) Attend P.T.O. (Parent-Teachers Org.) meetings and share the F.B.I. warning with all parents present. Share the results of your meeting with school authorities. Encourage parents to check to be sure their child is not being transported by a Muslim bus driver.

the FBI has run exercises based on school bus attacks.
Homeland Security is now funding training for school bus drivers to watch for potential terrorists observing bus routes with evil intent.
it took this private individual about 5 minutes to glean that info.

There have been several odd occurences involving Muslims and school buses. Wasn't there one recently with adult Muslims trying to finagle their way on to school buses? I seem to have read it here.

A Beslan nightmare in the U.S. - that would be SO educational. They've been trying to introduce Islam into the curriculum, that would be, how you say, 'crash course'?. If they ever murdered a bunch of American kids it would be the END of Islam in America.

Back in 2001, there were reports of a group of Muslim men who were discovered inside several elementary schools in Brookline, and each time, when confronted by a teacher or the principal, explained that they were merely "looking the schools over" in order to see if they were suitable for their children, and they would then disappear. Finally, one principal apparently had the wit to call the police. I don't know what happened. Does anyone?

And one more thing. The Ice Cream Truck and Muslim owner/drivers. A strange thing. Google "ice cream truck" and "Jihad Watch" for more. Anyone aware of this, or find it of interest?

Quadolama.... If it did offend the muslims there would only be two ways to appease them.

1) Do not do the three little pigs at all.

2) Change the three little pigs to three little jews,rename the big bad wolf a 'martyr or hero,or lion'.The ending must have the three little pigs or the jews Dead and the 'martyr,or hero,or lion' ascending to paradise with allah.

But of course this being a multicultural aware society these days one would think there would be no need to worry at all.

As for your other link the leeds story on the cancelled anti semite seminar.I believe they really were worried about security.What they fail to point out is who they feared would commit criminal acts durring the sminar.

Not that it needs pointed out in the first place but they could at least lay blame where it belongs.The many are suffering for the few and over criminal acts no less.

It's getting really pathetic to watch the intelectual type people give way to what they should be protecting most.

The universities and media are killing themselves by coddling the muslim bull crap and they kill us in the process.

What needs to be played is a fairness game.When the muslims protest over our wishes we protest over thiers.They have no more right to offend than anyone else and i for one am tired of being sold down the river.

All peoples need to get together and the next time some muslim brain rot zombie insults our religions or our desires for education and the like ,we sue and protest and sue and protest.

Islam needs to be put on trial...EVERYWHERE.
Let them spell it out PUBLICLY and OPENLY what they desire from the infedels in thier own lands.

Enough is enough.I posted on the first link you gave but on a different site.My comment was a eulogy more than it was a comment.

FAREWELL my dear british allies and friends it's been nice knowing you,whats left of the freeworld will try to remember you as you were after your new masters erase your existance.

I would be very worried, seeing how these muslims have no respect for women and children. Remember they hide behind children, and they treat women like crap. They also have a major hate-on against infidels. Can someone answer a question for me….is there such a thing as murder in islamic society? Is it ok for them to murder infidels, but not other muslims? do they believe that the Koran condones murder?

Well, being a CDL driver myself, with all the testing and retesting to do, that's one national database I wouldn't want to screw with. Having a Passenger Endorsement is something you are constantly tested on, and no, you can't buy it, you can only earn it.
-Jeff posting

How easy would it be, in the spirit of multi culturalism, for a Warrior of Allah to be promoted to the Board that oversees these Passenger Endorsements? We saw it here in Boston, that a Muslim was working for the Ummah (gathering money for the Grand Mosque) while employed in the Boston Redevelopment Agency. The land value went from $2 million, to $420 thousand to a $175 thousand to the Islamic society of Boston in a fire sale along with some secret charity work given to nearby Roxbury College by the Islamists. Data bases can be manipulated by those whose intentions are to manipulate them.

Oh and of course we'll all be singing Kumbayah!

Since I am feeling sarcastic.. maybe things aren't as bad as they look. They probably mean normal American citizens when they are talking about "extremists".

That's the way they do it in Germany anyway.

The FBI may choose to forget these recent incidents, but we won't . . .so here is a brief reminder:

Previous events involving school buses should have the FBI reconsider any attemts at selling us false optimism . . .

--------------------------------------------

In yesterday's crash of the private school bus, the driver, Abdelrazeg Abdalla, 31, of Falls Church,was charged with several counts, including operating the Islamic Saudi Academy bus on a suspended license.

Investigators said Abdalla's driving privileges had been suspended at 12:01 a.m. yesterday because of insurance-related issues. He was fired by school administrators shortly after the charges -- including citations for reckless driving and driving a vehicle with faulty equipment -- were issued.

"They determined that the bus had little or no brakes at all and that the tires were in fact bald," said Alexandria Police Capt. John Crawford, adding that investigators found skid marks to suggest that Abdalla tried to apply the brakes.

The chain-reaction crash, in which two other drivers sustained minor injuries, occurred as the school bus ferrying students to the Islamic Saudi Academy failed to stop as it traveled south down a hill on North Quaker Lane near Duke Street. The bus struck a Honda Civic, causing a chain-reaction crash involving the bus and three cars.

Police said Abdalla told them he was unable to stop the vehicle as traffic slowed. State police towed the bus to a maintenance lot for examination.

Virginia State Police determined that the bus was unsafe to drive and said it would remain out of service until the problems were repaired.

David Kovilik, director of education for the Fairfax County academy, said the bus was not part of the fleet's normal daily rotation, calling it "a spare."

He said that the bus passed its Virginia state inspection in July and that it was subject to daily mechanical checks as well as monthly preventive maintenance.

"I looked at the bus [after the crash], and the tire tread was thin, and on one axle the brake was worn down to the metal," Kovilik said. "The other three tires had functioning brakes."

Kovilik said Abdalla was hired as a driver in August after a comprehensive background check that he said included a search for any past convictions and "points on his license."

But a check of court records in Virginia revealed seven past charges, including several traffic violations for speeding and crossing a double yellow line. Several of the charges had been dismissed.

Abdalla also had a misdemeanor conviction in Fairfax for abducting his estranged wife and 3-month-old daughter at knifepoint. He had originally been charged with felony kidnapping, but friends and family -- including his wife -- wrote letters of support to the court on Abdalla's behalf, and he agreed to plead guilty in May 2003, after nearly three months in jail, to a reduced charge of misdemeanor assault and battery.

After his release, Abdalla was picked up by Department of Homeland Security officials and detained for about six months, according to court records. It could not be determined why he was detained.

Terror Suspect Received Haz-Mat License

MINNEAPOLIS — A man who authorities believe may have been part of an Al Qaeda (search) "sleeper cell" obtained a license to haul hazardous materials months after he was identified as a suspected terrorist by the FBI (search), officials said.

The FBI identified Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi (google this name for more) as a suspected terrorist before the attacks of 2001, the Star Tribune reported in Wednesday's editions, citing unidentified law enforcement officials.

Yet Minnesota Department of Public Safety officials said they did not know that Elzahabi was suspected of having Al Qaeda connections when he applied in early 2002 for a commercial license to drive a school bus and haul hazardous materials.

Standard government B.S. The Federal government tells local governments to ‘be advised’ to shift some of the blame if busloads of innocent children get killed.

Somebody knows exactly what’s going on and is either keeping quiet for career reasons or is being muzzled by the State Department.

The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
-From Section 9 of the Constitution

Cases of Rebellion or Invasion…

O Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites. Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey's end. - 9:73

A real government would use the tools at hand to protect its people. It could use Section 9 above, an Amendment stripping Islam of Constitutional protections, or RICO. But we have to settle for a nation of worried parents and, heaven forbid, children that will step on to the wrong bus someday because it is less unsettling for the civil servants. Washington is broken.

Once kids become the INTENTIONAL targets, the majority of the public will go on the warpath,regardless of who will defend those mosques, neighborhoods or families. Ironically, it shall be many of those very law enforcement officials who will break ranks and choose to protect their friends and neighbors as opposed to following the "spirit" of their orders. Many apologists(apologists being defined as showing sympathy for the tenets and goals of this faith,not,as one troll so aptly put it once: "apologizing for the actions of some fool") will find life quite uncomfortable,if they aren't run out of town on a rail. No amount of "can't we all get along?" hang- wringing will pass the mustard once children are involved. Such a scenario will usher in the next U.S. civil war,which will define the course of Western (worldwide for that matter) civilization for the next century. Sadly, the same techniques employed by these scum will be adopted by many, and while the public is counseled to show restraint, there shall be civil unrest by those who move like shadows in the night,evading the hawkeyed glare of law enforcement,who,more often than not, will turn a blind eye.

This is insane! If there is nothing to worry about, why even mention it?! How could the FBI take any chances with the lives of our children? They know what these savages are capable of!!!!

Surely innocent babes will not be their next sacrifice on the altar of political correctness, or are we all potential sacrifices now? Are the "sensitivities" of the traitors and spies at CAIR and the muslim umma in America more important than bonafide, loyal, INNOCENT American citizens?

It makes absolutely no sense to issue a statement like this to the public unless it is their way of warning people that they cannot remove suspicious drivers until they commit a crime, and they have reason to believe these people are connected to terrorists but don't have enough on them to arrest them. How can parents feel confident that their children are safe? And just think, if we had no muslims, this problem wouldn't exist. Thanks Ted Kennedy for starting the plague and thanks to the rest of the multicultural social engineers for ruining our country and putting the lives of our school children in jeopardy.

No need for concern. Sleep tight, the effah-bee-eye is on the job. The "counterterror officials" have warned them. And they in turn have warned local police.

"Members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States, counterterror officials said Friday, in a cautionary bulletin to police. An FBI spokesman said "parents and children have nothing to fear."

Of course, there is "nothing to fear." Larry, Moe, and Curly (the 3 Stooges) are in the FBI, and have been assigned to the job. We can all sleep tonight, knowing that in the morning, our children will be safe aboard the yellow school bus. Whew! What a relief!

E) Home-schooling is not a bad idea for a number of reasons.

Indeed, I agree. Well put SusanP.

I am not having any luck finding the ayat about the children of Ta'if. You know...when the "prophet" says the children are "of them", meaning they could be murdered. Anyone got it?

Monkeywho,

" . . . handholding and candle light vigils."

yes, that plus mosque visits were G. w. Bush's answers to 9-11.

What a difference 60+ years made in the American spirit.

After Pearl Harbor, there was anger, not calls to "feel the pain" of the Japanese, who were after all concerned about American power in the Pacific and therefore justified in their preemptive strike at Pearl.

The people wanted pay-back. The government wasn't concerned about the welfare of the Japanese in the country. The drive was to destroy Japan and the Japanese.

The stupid peaceful mourning after 9-11 served nothing but to bury any anger in tears and endless mourning. Where was the justified outrage--the anger that drove people to enlist in 1941 just so they could smash the Japanese?

All Bush wanted to do was rush and protect the domestic mus, so would be safe and he could show the Saudis how much he cared for what he inisisted on calling "a great religion" and the "religion of peace."

Rightful anger stifled will turn to depression and defeatism. This apparently is what those who govern us wanted and still want. The empty, "Of course we support our troops, but no more war,' is the wailing of the defeated.

Our government is more concerned for our enemies than it is for us--Americans, citizens, non-Moslems.

OH AMERICA,
Can you not see that mere men can't protect you? These are 'the end days',so get ready.
The actual land (physical land),is under judgement and money can't prevent that from happening.Best if we humble ourselves and pray.

That's from the hadith.

Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 256:

Narrated As-Sab bin Jaththama:

The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)." I also heard the Prophet saying, "The institution of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle."

You go right ahead. In fact, stick your ass in the air while you're at it. Allah likes that.

Members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States, counterterror officials said Friday, in a cautionary bulletin to police. An FBI spokesman said "parents and children have nothing to fear." (*

This is absolutely crazy! This could lead to a planned blackmail to pull this or that out of some crapStan !

The trouble with 'Beslan style massacre' would be that the politicians will blame each other and none of them will take on the responsibility. Of course the dick-head Mussies will get all the necessary protection from our F..B.I.

Oh yeh, of course it will have nothing to do with Islam, the ROFP. Naturally, you can’t blame the peaceful Mussies in America because they aint done anything (yet).

You know wat, I am beginning to wonder they’ve already won first step of Jihad by using our own democratic tools.

Well, if I had any doubts about homeschooling, I don't now.

This is utterly stupid. I think I've heard it all and then bam..another worse stupid thing happens.

"I think most people would explode into civil riots if it did."

Some may do that, but there are a lot of people in organized groups that would see this as a call to arms and lead assaults against the raggies.

And, eagerbeaver, I pray daily: I pray for the lord to give strength to our fighting men and women in harm's way, now, for the souls of those lost at the bloody hand of raggies since the fifties, and for our government officials to wake up from the "religion-of-peace" trance they've been in and at least ACT LIKE leaders. One doesn't, however, have to give up his backbone to speak to the Lord in prayer.

I seem to remember an old saying that went, "Trust in God, but keep your powder dry." I always took this to mean be prepared for anything at any time. As a CCL holder, I keep several guns around, always loaded and, though I don't have the vision I did when I was twenty, Some fool that harms a bus full of school kids around me had better hope that he perishes in the wreck.

I also keep a "grab-and-go" bag at hand whenever I'm at home and a 3 week survival container in my truck.

We have just had a muzzy family move into this small town of 12,000, I will be keeping a close eye on them and any suspicious behavior will prompt a tip to the proper authorities, who will get a detailed report on just what they were up to. I have a feeling that this could cause me to be arrested for "stalking" but, if so, I have a very good shyster on retainer who is of a mind with me on this.

On Ali Sina's website on the Beslan photo galleries,he says "If you are still a Muslim, shame on you! Leave this cult of hate! curse Muhammad, this messenger of Satan and reclaim your humanity today. God does not prize you for being stupid."

"But Homeland Security and the FBI "have no information indicating these individuals are involved in a terrorist plot against the homeland," it says."

No information indicating... - they neither had that information indicating... before September 11, before the Kenya bombings. Actually they virtually never had this information indicating... prior to any bombing.
Nor did their European counterparts in Madrid and London.

But I guess they already have information indicating.. - that whatever happens - it's nothing to do with islam.

justamomof4 mentioned “The beltway snipers:”

Interesting that you should bring that up. John Allen Muhammad was directly tied to Jamaat ul Fuqra (founded in New York by Sheikh Gilani in 1980.) Gilani is perhaps the REAL reason Daniel Pearl was beheaded, not so much KSM. Within the Islamberg compound of Jamaat ul Fuqra, there was spotted a school bus riddled with bullet holes.

Target practice, perhaps.
