AUSTIN, Texas — Tens of thousands of people streamed off university campuses in Texas and North Dakota after telephoned bomb threats on Friday.
Both campuses eventually were deemed safe and reopened by early afternoon....
The threats came as violent protests continued outside US embassies in the Mideast. Officials said the caller in the Texas threat claimed to belong to Al Qaeda, and a university spokesman said he had a Middle Eastern accent.
What f***ing obvious CRAP!
Also Friday, Valparaiso University in Indiana increased security and posted a warning to students after a vague graffiti threat was discovered. The school said the threat claimed ‘‘dangerous and criminal activity’’ would occur during the university’s daily chapel break. The FBI and local authorities searched the Indiana campus but found nothing suspicious.
The University of Texas received a call about 8:35 a.m. from a man claiming to be with Al Qaeda who said he had placed bombs all over the 50,000-student Austin campus, according to University of Texas spokeswoman Rhonda Weldon. He claimed the bombs would go off in 90 minutes. All buildings were evacuated at 9:50 a.m., Weldon said.
The bullshit meter just exploded.
The bullshit meter just exploded.
The deadline passed without incident, and the university reopened all buildings by noon....
"Man pleads guilty in plot to kill Saudi ambassador" by Larry Neumeister | Associated Press, October 18, 2012
NEW YORK — A Texas man pleaded guilty on Wednesday to plotting to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States, agreeing to hire a man he thought was a drug dealer in Mexico last year for $1.5 million to carry out the attack with explosives at a Washington restaurant.
Manssor Arbabsiar, 57, entered the plea to two conspiracy charges and a murder-for-hire count in US District Court in Manhattan, where Judge John F. Keenan repeatedly asked Arbabsiar whether he intended to kill the ambassador. Arbabsiar, a US citizen who holds an Iranian passport, said he did.
Pffffft!

Sentencing was set for Jan. 23, when defense lawyers are likely to ask for leniency, citing their claims that Arbabsiar is bipolar. He faces up to 25 years in prison.
Great, ANOTHER F***ED UP PATSY!
Assistant US Attorney Edward Kim asked Arbabsiar if Iranian military officials based in Iran were involved in the plot. Arbabsiar said they were.
Except he's mentally ill -- meaning you can't believe a word he says!
Arbabsiar admitted that he was directed by Iranian military officials to go to Mexico on multiple occasions from the spring to the fall of last year to arrange the assassination.
Arbabsiar, who lived in Corpus Christi, Texas, for more than a decade, said he met a man in Mexico named Junior, ‘‘who turned out to be an FBI agent.’’
The agent was actually a Drug Enforcement Administration confidential source posing as a representative of a drug cartel.
It's called a set-up.

"Saudi man gets life in prison in US bomb plot" by Betsy Blaney | Associated Press, November 14, 2012
AMARILLO, Texas — A former Texas college student from Saudi Arabia was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday for trying to make a bomb for use in a religious attack, possibly targeting a former US president.
And he will never be heard from again.
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari was sentenced in Amarillo, where jurors convicted him in June of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Prosecutors say he had collected bomb-making material and researched possible targets, including the Dallas home of George W. Bush.
If ever one of these idiots was going to complete a successful mission.... !!
A handwritten journal found in his apartment included notes that he believed it was time for ‘‘jihad,’’ a Muslim term for holy war.
Oh, now I'm convinced.
Although the 22-year-old Aldawsari apologized Tuesday for ‘‘these bad actions,’’ Judge Donald E. Walter said the evidence against him was overwhelming. Walter acknowledged he was conflicted due to Aldawsari’s youth and signs that outside influences had led him astray.
‘‘But the bottom line is that but by the grace of God there would be dead Americans,’’ Walter said. ‘‘You would have done it. In every step, it was you all alone.’’

Aldawsari came to the United States legally in 2008 to study chemical engineering. He was arrested in Lubbock in February 2011, after federal agents searched his apartment and found explosive chemicals, wiring, a hazmat suit, and clocks, along with videos showing how to make the chemical explosive TNP.
So which US intelligence agency double-crossed their asset?

"Dozens of white supremacist gang members charged" by MICHAEL GRACZYK, Associated Press, November 9, 2012
HOUSTON (AP) — Four top leaders of the white supremacist Aryan Brotherhood of Texas are among nearly three dozen alleged gang members charged in a sweeping indictment unsealed Friday that accuses them of crimes ranging from capital murder to drug trafficking.
SIGH! EVERYBODY KNOWS the white supremacist outfits are GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED OPERATIONS!
Few details were released about the alleged crimes, but 10 defendants are facing charges that carry a death penalty. As examples of the gang’s brutality, the indictment says one leader ordered a subordinate to kill a gang prospect and return his severed finger, and another was told to burn a tattoo from a member’s arm for not following an order.
‘‘Brutal beatings, fire bombings, drug trafficking and murder are all part of ABT’s alleged standard operating procedure,’’ Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breurer said in a statement. ‘‘As charged, ABT uses violence and threats of violence to maintain internal discipline and to retaliate against those believed to be cooperating with law enforcement.’’
Hey, they behave just like the USraeli government!
Only three people named in the indictment haven’t been arrested. Sixteen people were arrested Friday across Texas, while 15 others were already in custody, prosecutors said, adding that the arrests capped years of investigation.
All are charged with racketeering conspiracy. Some were charged with involvement in at least three murders, multiple attempted murders, kidnappings, assaults and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine.
Government hate$ competition.
The military-style gang was founded in Texas prisons in the 1980s to offer protection to white inmates if they joined. Modeled after a similar gang that surfaces in California prisons in the 1960s, members often use hand signs symbolizing their participation and have Nazi-themed tattoos.
Those guys are long dead and gone, sorry.
