BREAKING...It's A Halal First American Fried Chicken — And We Have A Suspect's Name And Photo: Ahmad Khan

So, there's an ongoing raid related to Saturday, September 17, 2016, explosion and explosive device(s) in Manhattan on First American Fried Chicken in Elizabeth, New Jersey at 104 Elmora Ave, Elizabeth, NJ 07202. Halal chicken and burgers.

The suspect is 28-year-old Ahmad Khan (Rahami):

Additional information, including the following:

The FBI also issued a wanted poster for Rahami. The poster indicates that Rahami was born in Afghanistan, but is a naturalized U.S. citizen who currently lives New Jersye.

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio confirmed on CNN that police are looking for Rahami. The mayor warned that Rahami could be armed and dangerous.

He also indicated that law enforcement does not yet know whether Rahami acted alone and did not reveal Rahami's exact role in the explosion.

I remember Oriana Fallaci's warning that the presence of many halal places in a town or city means that, sooner or later, there's going to be trouble with Muslims (my paraphrase).

Word to wise infidels: check out how many halal places (fast food, restaurants, grocery stores, and the like) are near you. This measure will give you an idea as to how many sons of allah are colonizing your community.

UMass Bans Iranians From Classes Which Could Help Them Build Nuclear Bombs

UMass Bans Iranians From Classes Which Could Help Them Build Nuclear Bombs

In a policy dated Feb. 6, the university said that it will no longer admit Iranian nationals to a range of programs: chemical engineering, chemistry, electrical and computer engineering, mechanical and industrial engineering, microbiology, physics, and polymer science and engineering. The university cites as its rationale a sanctions law passed in 2012 that restricts Iranian citizens seeking to prepare for a career in that country’s energy or nuclear science sectors from getting visas to study in the United States.

The relevant text of the law cited by UMass in its policy states, “The Secretary of State shall deny a visa to, and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall exclude from the United States, any alien who is a citizen of Iran that the Secretary of State determines seeks to enter the United States to participate in course work at an institution of higher education… to prepare the alien for a career in the energy sector of Iran or in nuclear science or nuclear engineering or a related field in Iran.”

“Colleges and universities in the U.S. have found that Iranian students who travel abroad during their studies are being denied reentry by the Department of Homeland Security as a result of these and other regulations,” the UMass policy states. “There are significant penalties, both civil and criminal, that could potentially impact faculty, staff and students, for violations of this Act and the related regulations and restrictions.”[…]

“Universities seem to be taking this act into their own hands and not allowing any Iranian students to come and study, whereas the act itself is conditional upon returning to work in certain fields — which the State Department itself determines through visa applications,” said Leila Austin, the executive director of the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans.

“What a lot of schools have done is they issue an advisory to students — ‘if you apply to certain programs, keep this in mind’ — and some have even said this may have a bearing on our [admissions] decision-making process,” said Jamal Abdi, the policy director for the National Iranian American Council. But UMass stands out as having “taken it upon themselves to actually enforce this policy.” Keep reading

Truck Containing 18 Tons of Crisco Sticks is Stolen --- UPDATED

How do you make homemade Nitroglycerine?

Almost all modern explosives are a derivative of a nitric acid base. Although fuming nitric acid (98 percent solution in water) is not an explosive in itself, it is explosive when mixed with many other compounds. This process of mixing a compound with nitric acid chemically is called the nitrating principle. The best-known nitrating agent is glycerin, but many others can be and are used. Mercury, sugar, cork, wheat germ, sawdust, starch, lard, and indigo are all common nitrating agents and are used in modern industry.

Northern Virginia: Two Bottle Bombs Detonated Inside Movie Theater

During the showing of Godzilla at the multiplex cinema at Tysons Corner Center, a mall frequented by Saudis and other Muslims. On any given day, the obviously-Muslim frequenters of the mall are present in the amount of 25%-50%.

From WUSA*9:

TYSONS CORNER, Va. (WUSA9) -- Thousands of people were sent rushing from the Tysons Corner AMC Theaters Saturday night during the midnight showing of Godzilla, after police say someone set off an improvised explosive device in the theater.

"It was at a very pivotal part in the movie where a bomb could have gone off in the show, the screen goes off and then bang," remembers Matt Cahill, who was in one of the theaters.

A few theaters away, Ryan Krabill heard a similar noise. "All of a sudden it was a loud pop right over what I thought was my right shoulder," he says.

At first, unsure of what was actually happening, most people stayed put, until it was clear this was not part of the plot. "That's when everyone said, this isn't normal, freaked out and headed to the exits," remembers Cahill.

Police and firefighters were already rushing into the AMC theaters.

"Then when the heavily-armed police officers ran into the building, that's when people really decided they were out," says Krabill.

While most people were thinking the worst; minds rushing to the Colorado movie theater shooting, Cahill spotted the likely culprit: a two-liter bottle.

"There was a large amount of liquid on the ground, at the time I didn't know what it was but as soon as I got outside I got a strong odor of vinegar on my shoes," says Cahill.

About 2,000 people rushed out of all 16 theaters, but no gunman was found. "Police then started searching for different devices, the explosive ordinance division was called in," says Mike Riley with the Fairfax County Fire Marshal's office.

These IEDs are typically made using a bottle of some sort and are filled with chemicals and metal, and when they are detonated, it can be violent, sending chemicals and metal into the air.

"I can't believe someone thought that would be a good idea or a prank, someone needs to do something better with their time," says Cahill.

Although no one was hurt, police say this is not a harmless prank.

"You have this explosive device in which people thought was gunfire, infighting fear, quite honestly I interpret that as an act of terrorism," says Riley.

Police are looking at surveillance video. Anyone who saw something suspicious is asked to call police....

According to the Washington Post:

The Fairfax County Fire Marshal is trying to determine the exact substance that was inside the bottles and how the devices ended up in the theater. Deputy chief Michael Reilly described the devices as “acid bombs” containing an explosive mixture of acid and metal.

At this time, no suspects have been identified.
