Unmanned Drone On Long Island Sparks Terror Investigation

Long Island, New York. A drone built by a Muslim man to be capable of carrying 600 pounds of explosives, or other toxic materials.

Oh yes, it's true, they don't say he was a Muslim. But, he was an Egyptian man who entered the United States on a Sudanese passport.

You do the math.

Fucking Muslim.

And, if any Muslims want to get angry with me for calling one of your fucking terrorists a "fucking Muslim", then why don't you and your people get up off your asses and condemn these fascist terrorists in your fucking Mosques, god damn it.

If a Christian did this, I'd be the first person to flip the switch on the electric chair to kill the guy if the law would allow me.

But, Muslims? Speak bad of another brother Muslim? May it never be.

Fuck you!

The story is from NBC:


An unmanned drone being built by an engineer on Long Island sparked a large counter-terrorism investigation across the New York area, officials tell WNBC.com. Police said they had stumbled upon overnight testing of the drone at a little-used airstrip in Calverton, Long Island.

The investigation began in February of last year, when investigators first learned testing of the drone was underway. Officials said the drone was being designed to carry more than 600 pounds of explosives.

"It could be in the air for 8-10 hours and there's potential harm if it is carrying a large amount of toxic material," NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly said in explaining why his department's counterterrorism officials were concerned.

Police surveillance video obtained by News 4 New York shows a white van rolling onto the tarmac, a small group of men jumping out and ground testing the unmanned flight vehicle.

Kelly said the engineer building the drone never reported his work to any agency including the Federal Aviation Administration or local authorities. Investigators said concern increased for a time when they learned the man behind the project was an Egyptian national who had entered the U.S. on a Sudanese passport.

"It was such a bizarre set of circumstances," said New York State Homeland Security Director Michael Balboni. "Of course we watched it as closely as we did anything that was on our radar screen."

NYPD officials worked with Suffolk County police and the FBI to determine there were no ties to terror. Under questioning, the engineer said he was an inventor hoping to sell this drone model to the U.S. military.


Pastorius comment: If this is true, then why didn't he report it to officials instead of stealing time on a tarmac? This is total bullshit, in my alleged opinion. Once again, Fuck you, you Egyptian national on a Sudanese Passport.


NYPD Lieutenant William McGroarty said during the investigation they had other questions.


In this case, police said there is no evidence any laws were broken as the drone was tested on the ground. Officials said if it had gone into the air without prior FAA approval, it could have been considered a crime.

While there are no terror links, police said their investigation continues. The engineer, who News 4 New York will not name because he was not charged, did not respond to numerous requests for comment. His drone project has now been taken over by a Maryland-based company that has registered with the FAA, officials said. One investigator said the engineer, at best, had showed poor judgment in trying to do the project in a manner that raised so many alarms.


Right. Poor judgement ...

... on the part of the investigators who have determined this is not terror-related.

After all, I'm insane.

You know how I know? Because, I could have sworn that this was terror-related, but they said it wasn't.

determined this is not terror-related.

It's as simple as that . . .determine it's not terror related . . .the general public can pound sand.

There has got to be a way to legally challenge the continuing farce of the FBI instantaneously determining every act is unrelated to terror when devout muhammedans are involved in potential terror attacks.

Accountability now!

Anonymous,
Take your soma and relax.

It's a brave new world.

Commissioner Kelly has ordered him minions to "stay away from the Moslems"..........and that is a direct quote from Det.Casey of the NYPD-Intel Terrorist Interdiction Unit.

All's well in the big apple.

Pastorius said...

Michael,
Have you written a story on that, or is there a link?

I will post it.

Michael Travis said...

Senor Pastorius has Casey's number at the Cop-Shop.......let's cross our fingers in hope of a nice interview!

Where's the muslim leadership? Busy plotting dirty tricks on our airliners?

Pastorius said...

Michael,
You think he'll agree to an interview on my radio show?

LOL

"No ties to terrorism, no ties to terrorism" -- law enforcement's needle is stuck.

Michael Travis said...

What's a "needle"???????

Has this become some sort of druggie blog?

Pastorius said...

I think AOW means their needle is stuck on empty, and they have no gas to fill the tank.

They are fresh out of ideas.

But, of course, we still pay them.

Michael Travis said...

What? We give Law enforcement clean needles? This is a disgrace! My little Stevie has to make do with rusty old spikes? Where is the equality?

Epaminondas said...

This really is a gr8 story

If this total moron wasn't working for a company such as General Atomics he'd be in a deep hole somewhere.

But the real questions is what was everyone doing while they watched these guys out at Calverton (where Republic ..builder of the A-10 and Grumman, the F-14) getting ready to fly during those months?

Were they waiting until the thing flew to make an arrest? Or were they following everyone involved seeing where it all lead.

I would love to know.

Always On Watch said...

Actually, I was referring to a stuck needle on a vinyl record.

Pastorius said...

Michael,
Of course we give law enforcement officials clean needles. We gotta make sure they can slam their smack in peace. How else are they going to sleep when they are so worried about all these crazy non-terrorists out there.

Pastorius said...

It never occurred to me before that one could actually get away with stealing time on a tarmac.

That's like being able to walk into a nuclear power plant and set up a direct power line to your house.

For God's sake, what else can I get away with that I don't know about?
