Remember the Soldier who filed for Conscientious objector status? He was found with bomb making mate - Polidicks

[quote]KILLEEN, Texas (AP) — An AWOL Muslim soldier who had been granted conscientious objector status earlier this year was arrested and bomb-making materials were found in his motel room near Fort Hood, the same Texas Army post where 13 people were killed in a 2009 shooting rampage blamed on an Army psychiatrist, an FBI spokesman said Thursday. Killeen police arrested Pfc. Naser Abdo, 21, on Wednesday and agents found firearms and "items that could be identified as bomb-making components, including gunpowder," in his motel room, said FBI spokesman Erik Vasys. A clerk at the gun store where the 2009 Fort Hood shootings suspect bought a pistol used in the attack told The Associated Press on Thursday that he alerted police after a man bought weapons and gunpowder there this week. Greg Ebert said the man arrived at Guns Galore LLC by taxi Tuesday and bought 6 pounds of smokeless gunpowder, three boxes of shotgun ammunition and a magazine for a semi-automatic pistol, paying about $250. Ebert said he became concerned when the man asked questions indicating he didn't know much about the items. "(We) felt uncomfortable with his overall demeanor and the fact he didn't know what the hell he was buying," Ebert said. "I thought it prudent to contact the local authorities, which I did." Killeen police wouldn't immediately confirm Abdo was the buyer, but a U.S. official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to talk publicly about the case, confirms Abdo bought weapons at a Killeen gun shop. Vasys said the FBI planned to charge Abdo with possessing bomb-making components later Thursday, at which time he would be transferred into federal custody. He said there was nothing to indicate Abdo was "working with others." Abdo has been absent without leave from Fort Campbell, Ky., since the July 4 weekend. "I would emphasize that any threat that Abdo posed is now over," Vasys said. "Suffice it to say we're looking into all aspects of Mr. Abdo's life to determine his motivations and intentions." The infantry soldier whose hometown the military lists as Garland, Texas, had applied for conscientious objector status last year, saying his religious beliefs would prohibit his service in any war. A military review board recommended this spring that he be separated from the Army. The discharge was delayed after Abdo was charged with possessing child pornography. An Article 32 military hearing last month recommended Abdo for a court-martial. He has said he thought he was charged with a crime because he was seeking to leave the Army as a conscientious objector. An Oklahoma attorney who has represented Abdo said Thursday he hasn't heard from Abdo in weeks and learned of the arrest from a Texas television station. "I've been quite anxious to get in touch with him," said attorney James Branum. Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan faces a possible death sentence when he is tried next year on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the 2009 rampage at Fort Hood. The Army post issued a statement seeking to reassure the community after Abdo's arrest Thursday. "At this time, there has been no incident at Fort Hood," the statement said. "We continue our diligence in keeping our force protection at appropriate levels." Fort Campbell spokesman Rick Rzepka referred all questions to the Pentagon.[/quote] Source: [url]http://news.yahoo.com/fbi-awol-soldier-had-bomb-materials-near-ft-165714560.html[/url] I remember this causing a lot of debate last year. I personally will hold reservations about the reasons behind him buying all that stuff, but it's not looking good for him.

Did he not think that he would be absolutely destroyed by the media for: 1. Not fighting for 'Murica 2. Being a Muslim 3. Being a Muslim and buying bomb making materials?! Is he crazy or something? He's got no defense.

A Muslim, paedophile, terrorist deserter? Tabloids are going to have fun with this.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;31392747]Wait a minute, then why the fuck are you in the Army?[/QUOTE] When I saw that he was a conscientious objector I just assumed he disagreed with the wars in the middle east but seeing that - he's an idiot.

FUCKING RETARD. Well more hate towards us. Can't say i like being a muslim anymore. It's fucktards like him that are making everyone hate us.

I just saw this. I hope the military prisons run him in to the ground. My base was locked down when Fort Hood happened. I remember pretended to guard a door during an exercise and suddenly everything stopped and everything became real. We were just tech school people trying to learn about aircraft when we all got pulled inside and they explained what happened. Fucking ridiculous.

Not many people know about loading your own ammo or using a muzzleloader.. so it's understandable. And he was probably asking really out-there questions. "How much do I need to pack for it to be efficient? Would it blow the cartridge up?" Stuff like that so he could multiply it for the bomb.

I don't think he was making a bomb. Owning gunpowder isn't even illegal.

[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;31395656]I don't think he was making a bomb. Owning gunpowder isn't even illegal.[/QUOTE] 6 [I]pounds[/I] of gunpowder is enough to make a bomb. I've made "remote detonated" pipe bombs with smokeless powder, speaker wire, a few strands of steel wool and a battery. It was all in good fun, and we used plastic PVC with nothing else and it still was throwing the plastic cap shards around. That was with a few scoops of it, not 6 fucking pounds.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;31392747]Wait a minute, then why the fuck are you in the Army?[/QUOTE] education and pay? i would join the army if i wouldnt be put in a job that had me killing people

Goddamnit Fort Hood. First some dude just walks on in and kills a bunch of people then another one is found with bomb making materials and guns.

[QUOTE=N.A.N.B;31393769]Fify[/QUOTE] well fox is just a tabloid with a tv channel so you didn't change much!

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;31401552]well fox is just a tabloid with a tv channel so you didn't change much![/QUOTE] But to some/most americans, it's the "ONLY TRU AMURICAN NEWS PROGRUM", so it isn't a tabloid for them.

[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;31395656]I don't think he was making a bomb. Owning gunpowder isn't even illegal.[/QUOTE] He had a bunch of chemicals that experts say comes right out of guides and manuals about how to make bombs.

You gotta' be like Sam Fisher to sneak that shit away from public eyes.
