| Weird things: The special ops soldier and the illegal Chechen |
| 2024-05-27 |
| [American Thinker] On May 3, two Jordanian nationals who were here illegally attempted to enter a Marine base in Virginia. Both were arrested. We’ve just learned that something else happened on May 3: Two Chechen nationals who were here illegally were caught skulking around the home of a special forces Army officer. The officer killed one. The other was arrested...and released. Ian Fleming wrote in Goldfinger, "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time is enemy action." Call me cynical and paranoid, but I’m going to assume that we’re long past happenstance and that what happened on May 3 may well have been enemy action.

| #14 ^ An interesting historical document, NoMo, which seems to have some lessons for today. The ReadingRoom looks like a useful resource for historical research. Thanks! |

| #13 BG Dozier kidnapping by the Red Brigades in Italy, they kept him chained inside a tent in an apartment the whole time, constantly forced to wear earphones and listen to loud, rock music, and he suffered permanent hearing loss as a result. Linked is the formerly classified CIA assessment written the day after the kidnapping, from the UNCLASS CIA Reading Room. Note on page 2 the comment about prior surveillance of the target. Perhaps it figures into this story as well given the historic Red Brigade trade-craft linkages... https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP83M00914R000300020026-3.pdf |

| #6 ...You know, after some of these reports - and this one in particular - I'm wondering how much data on our people fell into Taliban hands. Not so much from actual records, though there would have been a lot of that, but rather along the lines of the Afghan liaisons and officers (more than a few of whom were turned from the very beginning) spilling everything they knew. From there, it would be (comparatively) child's play to find these soldiers. Mike |

| #4 RedState update and snippet. Also, sources in the community tell RedState that "apparently the Colonel had his own cameras up and this was the 3rd or 4th visit" by Daraev and Adsalan and that there have been "a lot of suspect things in the area, family members [of special forces soldiers] followed, et cetera." Footage from the Colonel's cameras could shed a lot of light on what happened not just on May 3rd but also what happened on those other occasions, and if family members of other area soldiers have been followed recently, it's understandable that the Colonel was on heightened alert. On Friday, Fox News' Jennifer Griffin reported that Daraev and Adsalan were in the country illegally and that "the phones collected at the scene have been taken to an Army base for analysis." If I had to guess, I'd say that the base they were taken to is Fort Liberty. |

| #3 The thing to remember: Chechens abroad often act as mercenaries. |

| #2 From S2 Underground: North Carolina: Local media has become aware of a suspicious shooting incident that took place earlier this month. Originally kept quiet due to the investigation, details were released last night surrounding a shooting death involving a Special Operations soldier in Moore County. On May 3rd, local authorities were dispatched to a residence in Carthage in response to a trespassing complaint. Allegedly, the 911 caller also noted that the individual was taking pictures of their residence. After some time, an altercation occurred resulting in the trespassing individual being shot multiple times after allegedly becoming aggressive. Local authorities have identified the man who was shot and killed as Ramzan Daraev. The shooter’s name has been withheld for the moment, but has been identified as a member of the Special Operations community. |
