Oakland: Muslims accused of trying to illegally export rifle scopes to Oman

Sep 5, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Will the possibility that the final destination of these scopes was not Oman, and that they were intended for jihadis, be investigated at all? Or would that be “Islamophobic”? On what basis can the possibility be discounted?

“Oakland couple accused of trying to illegally export rifle scopes to Oman,” by Angela Ruggiero, Bay Area News Group, September 3, 2020:

OAKLAND — Two Oakland residents have been accused of trying to ship night vision rifle scopes to Oman.

Fares Abdo Al Eyani, 37, and Saba Mohsen Dhaifallah, 38, were with attempting to ship night vision rifle scopes from the Port of Oakland to the Sultanate of Oman, according to the U.S. States Attorney’s office. They were charged last month in a criminal complaint unsealed last week.

The two are accused of working together to purchase devices with night vision capabilities over the last half of 2019, then trying to send those items and firearms to the Middle Eastern country of Oman in shipping containers from Oakland….

According to the complaint, Al Eyani and Dhaifallah were engaged in a scheme to export a set of night vision rifle scopes without a license. The Arms Export Control Act and International Trafficking in Arms Regulations make it illegal to export such scopes without registering with the directorate of defense trade controls and getting a license….

Inside one shipping container authorities inspected in November 2019, investigators found four disassembled firearms, including three handguns and one rifle, wrapped in aluminum foil and packed between car parts in one of four vehicles in the shipping container, according to the complaint. Also, 39 rounds of ammunition and two magazines were also found, the complaint says.

In December 2019, the duo allegedly attempted to export the rifle scopes they purchased by hiding them inside a shipping container, the complaint says. Law enforcement thwarted the scheme when they searched the container and found the scopes….

    ……………….

    More Jihad madness in my own town.

    Are these Jihadists migrants? Will they be deported after serving their time in prison?

      Just saw this and also found (finally) some reports online about the riots going on practically in your backyard.

      And now this—

      Wishing you continued safety, my friend.

    Purely from a logistics point of view, I can understand these cretins trying to get night vision gear to their Mudslime mates in the middle east.
    But what I can’t get my head around is trying to export a couple of handguns and a rifle?
    Given the amount of weaponry floating around in a lot of middle eastern countries this would be like exporting oil to the arabs.
    What now comes to mind is that given the FBI’s track record of creating threats to justify funding. Were these knuckleheads just bunnies in the latest “look how good we are” plan by the FBI or was it a real operation they busted?

    Of all the countries in the Arab World, Oman is the most unlikely final destination for terrorist arms, I can’t help feeling the items were for onward transmission to an end user elsewhere.

      Likely so.

    BIG question, are they citizens or migrants? If they are migrants kick them in the ass on their way back to their true country of love. If they are citizens they are adding the enemy and should be tried for treason.

    And yet the U.S. Democratic Party is near fully Fascist… and strips good people of firearms all the while covering up the gun crimes and murders committed by their illegal invader (immigrant) quislings.
