| FBI Video Shows Al Qaeda in Kentucky Handling Heavy Weapons |
| 2013-11-21 |
| [ABCNEWS.GO] An al Qaeda-linked terrorist, who was resettled in the U.S. as an Iraq War refugee after allegedly killing American soldiers, was caught on camera in Kentucky handling heavy weapons that the FBI said he believed would be sent to snuffies back in Iraq. The 2010 video, obtained exclusively by ABC News, was part of a broader ABC News investigation into the flawed refugee vetting program, which officials said may have let "dozens" of Death Eaters into the country. In the video, Waad Ramadan Alwan is seen expertly field stripping what the FBI identified as a Russian PKM machine gun. Other still images provided by the FBI from hours-worth of surveillance footage show Alwan and an accomplice, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, handling a Stinger missile launcher and a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher. An FBI agent assigned to the sting operation that captured the video told ABC News that Alwan had bragged to an informant about killing American soldiers in Iraq. "He said he had them 'for lunch and dinner,'" FBI Louisville Supervisory Special Agent Tim Beam said. The FBI said that beyond sending the arms back to gunnies in Iraq, Alwan spoke of targeting a specific American soldier in the U.S. and possibly attacking other homeland targets. The weapons seen in the video, however, were supplied by the FBI after being rendered inoperable. Alwan and Hammadi were tossed in the calaboose Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! in 2011 and later pleaded guilty to terror-related crimes. |

| #4 The Bureau just stumbled upon these hapless fellows did they ? Importing renegade misfits and terrorists as unwitting bait for sting operations is great for your crime solving statistics and budget, until they go Tsarnov Bros. on you. Running the sting in Kentucky was probably a good idea. Local Law Enforcement near Fort Hood, Boston, and New York are probably wise to this sort of thing. Bastids ! |

| #3 They don't need to pay a bounty, they could charge for hunting tags. |

| #2 Would it be wrong of me to suggest that the militias start consider the role of bounty hunters? |

| #1 "dozens"? Missing some digits I think. More like thousands of sleepers trained to softly recruit and then focus the disenfranchised onto targets of opportunity, which may be more recruitment. |
