Arrest in new Fort Hood terror plot

by Jonn Lilyea••76

Another soldier was arrested in a new terror plot against the Fort Hood facility – the largest US military post according to Fox News;

Pvt. Nasser Jason Abdo, an AWOL soldier from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, was arrested by the Killeen Police Department near Fort Hood and remains in custody there. Authorities, however, will not say if Abdo is the one who raised security concerns.

Bob Jenkins, a Fort Campbell spokesman, told Fox News that Abdo was being investigated for child pornography found on his government computer.

Abdo went AWOL on July 4. On the eve of his first deployment to Afghanistan — after only one year in the Army — Abdo applied for conscientious objector status. It was denied by his superiors at Ft. Campbell but later overturned by the Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Army review board.

Another source told Fox News that two other U.S. soldiers also raised possible concerns. Authorities have recovered weapons and possibly explosive materials, Fox News was told.

I’m sure someone in the Under the Hood Cafe knows this guy – a perfect candidate for Iraq Veterans Against the War. Stormbringer just wrote about him the other day when Abdo was just an AWOL conscientious objector – before he became a terror suspect.

I think Sporkmaster sent me something about him a few months ago.

Here’s a video I found of a guy who makes some good points, and prophetically predicts that Abdo could become another Nidal Hassan;

ADDED:. I just discovered that I did write about him – he was one of Branum’s clients and funding raising schemes (I was at someone’s wedding when I wrote it – that’s why I forgot). TSO also wrote about him.

Added again: I just found this online about an anti-war press conference in NYC where IVAW members read a statement from Abdo on Islamophobia;

Isn’t a phobia an irrational fear? Well if Abdo is found to have been part of a terror plot, I guess he wasn’t experiencing an irrational fear.

And isn’t that an IVAW member in the center of the picture of the press conference? I think i recognize her from somewhere.

More IVAW/Abdo links;

A CNN interview with Abdo when he was just a CO, before he became an accused terrorist;

Update from Reuters; Apparently he had bomb-making materials;

Nassar was arrested around 2 p.m. local time on Wednesday after a “concerned citizen” reported that he had firearms and smokeless gunpowder in his motel room in Killeen, Vasys said.

“A search of his motel room revealed that he had some components which could be considered bomb-making materials,” Vasys said.

ADDED Again: I guess the reason he went AWOL is because while he was waiting for his CO application to process, they found kiddie pr0n on his government computer. Smart. No one is watching government computers.

If anyone out there knows the ID of the other two guys who were arrested in connection to this incident, we’d sure like to know…especially if they’re connected to Under the Hood. We’ll keep your identity out of it. We keep all of our ninja’s identities secret. Even our LEO tipsters…hint, hint.

I’m just guessing but it looks like a conscientious objector who went AWOL from Fort Campbell, a native of Dallas was being aided and abetted by IVAW members at the famous-for-supporting-resisters Under the Hood Cafe in Killeen. of course, I have no real evidence of this, but why else would he go to Killeen, if not to take advantage of UtH’s sympathy. I hope they corral the whole bunch of them.

  1. That Stormbringer post is really top notch.

    This guy will get the chair with Branum. Hope he gets a new lawyer. Galligan or whatever his name was is available now, no?

  2. I almost ran off the road when I heard this reported! I *knew* the Farm Team had done something about this POS.

  4. I know several muslim soldiers that serve/served with distinction and deployed to the the hotspots and engaged in combat with the bad guys. One of them was even assigned to intel/undercover ops with Special Forces while he was in the sandbox, because, being Palestinian, he knew the languages and customs and could infil areas where other soldiers would be out of place. A fine NCO that has no qualms about his loyalty to this country or the mission. So, if these muslim soldiers can do it; why couldn’t this little prick?

  6. I am super busy and getting ready to hop on a plane, so may not be able to respond to comments quickly.

    However, I thought I’d come on to publicly “take my licks”, because that’s what I was trained and raised to do.

    I was the one who read Abdo’s statement. I have never met him and don’t know him-I don’t remember how the statement came to us. He is not an IVAW member, and I did not know him-he was at that point just a random Muslim CO. Maybe there’s a good lesson there not to promote people you don’t actually know, and I’ll be thinking about that one.

    I read the statement because I agree with OldTrooper-I’ve known great Muslim soldiers who have served with honor and distinction. I firmly believe that what makes our nation great is treating all people as innocent until proven guilty, and on their own deeds rather than those that purport to share a religion with them.

    Clearly, I made a mistake by reading a statement, and thus associating myself, by someone I did not know. But I still stand by the sentiment, if not the author.

  7. I love ya babe, but the “fake but accurate” defense on reading it is a bit weak. How can you appreciate a sentiment from someone whose entire focus was killing us? I’m confused, what differentiates this from “but Hitler ran good trains”?

  8. Fox News reported Ft. Campbell’s investing child pr0n found on this soldier’s Army computer as well.

    He’ll do real well in prison.

  11. Nice to know the IVAW reads statements from ‘service personnel’ without verifying who they are or ensuring the individual is actually worth defending.

    Just makes me want to join their vaudeville slapstick act.

  14. Gordo Duffmeister a friend of this Muslim piece of shit? H’mmmm, that explains why Duff is always knocking the Mossad and the Joooooos. He is defending his friends- the Radical Muslim bastards. Watch out, Gordo, these Mossad types are especially ugly when they come upon Muslim sympathizers.
    Why’nt you get one of these for your front yard:
    http://www.cafepress.com/frankopinions.456526460, just to throw them off, of course.

  16. I know, Jonn, I sent her a request last year and she wouldn’t friend me. I even sent her a message at Christmas wishing her and her family a merry Christmas and I got nuthin. no reply, nada.

    I’m hurt.

  19. I’m wondering, can I get someone at IVAW to read my statement against the designated hitter rule in baseball? You don’t know me, and I’m not an American League fan, but you know that shit ain’t right, yo.

  24. Is it me, Jonn? Army Sargeant won’t friend you guys? Seems a bit weird to me. If there is nothing to hide, why not friend you? I don’t like that Dan Rather approach either to Abdo’s statement.

    I have friends on FB who will put me in “hiding” because they don’t like where I stand on many things rather than debate me. Unfortunate, but true. That behvior is childish and two-faced. I’d like to tell them to grow the fuck up!

  25. Wow. I guess that’s why I recognized the name when I heard it this morning. Unreal.
    Who needs the FBI when you have TAH?

  26. AS is my facebook friend, and I love playing with her on there. But, probably she only friended me because she and my wife get along so well. But, I can kind of understand AS not wanting the drama that comes from divergent friends on FB. I’ve talked to others who just hate the headaches from folks fighting.

  27. Okay. Let me see if I have this right.

    The guy (#6) who read the anti-war statement from someone curently suspected of planning a terrorist attack — is now getting on a plane????

    Getting on a plane?????

  28. Since I just saw his FB and he’s a grunt… How did he make it through Ft. Benning and how did he get CO status. “Listen you shitbird you volunteered for the Army and you volunteered for the Infantry you’re either going to war or goin to jail”

  31. Private First Class Naser Abdo, a 20-year-old Muslim servicemember currently serving in the U.S. Army and seeking Conscientious Objector (C.O.) status on the grounds of Islam, is a Muslim peacemaker. He states, “As I studied Islam and Islam’s commitment to peace, I developed an entirely new perspective on war and conscience… That’s when I realized my conscience would not allow me to deploy.” Pfc. Abdo’s C.O. case still awaits an Army recommendation of discharge from the military based on moral, ethical, and religious objection to all wars. Abdo is facing possible deployment to Afghanistan in spite of his C.O. claim, though Army commanders decided to delay his deployment after he went public with his case. Speaking out as a Muslim, Abdo is against war and has been working with nonviolent antiwar organizations including the War Resisters League and Quaker House in Fayetteville, NC on building public support for his objection to war on the grounds of Islam.

    Several Muslim-American organizations in the U.S., such as the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, have been key supporters of Pfc. Abdo’s claim for Conscientious Objector status based on the principles of Islam. In a statement released by this organization in support of Pfc. Abdo, long-time Muslim peacemaker and antimilitarist Ibrahim Ramey states, “We believe that his position is not a product of personal cowardice or disloyalty to his nation, but rather, a coherent expression of his faith and his personal belief in the tenets and laws of the religion of Islam.” In a separate statement, Ramey further underscores the U.S. government and mainstream media blackout of Muslim opposition to militarism: “Major Muslim efforts for peace-making in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, and other conflict spots are virtually unknown to U.S. news consumers, and even to policy makers. In my opinion, this phenomenon plays into the hands of institutions that seek to permanently militarize the U.S. economy by creating the illusion that Muslims are ‘the enemy’ and must therefore be controlled or eliminated for the sake of ‘democracy.’”

    Many other Muslim organizations also attest to the importance of U.S. recognition of Muslim peacemaking efforts. In “An Open Letter to President Obama” sent on the eve of his visit to Egypt to address the Muslim World in May 2009, 1,600 American-Muslim and non-Muslim scholars on the Middle East called on the U.S. government to recognize nonviolent Muslim leaders: “For too long, American policy in the Middle East has been paralyzed by fear of Islamist parties coming to power…However, most mainstream Islamist groups in the region are nonviolent and respect the democratic process.” This letter further urges the U.S. to discontinue its support for violent political regimes in Central Asia and support democracy through peaceful policies: “The United States, for half a century, has frequently supported repressive regimes that routinely violate human rights, and that torture and imprison those who dare criticize them and prevent their citizens from participation in peaceful civic and political activities…There is no doubt that the people of the Middle East long for greater freedom and democracy…What they need from your administration is a commitment to encourage political reform not through wars, threats, or imposition, but through peaceful policies that reward governments that take active and measurable steps towards genuine democratic reforms.”

    Despite the ongoing work of Muslim peacemakers and antimilitarists, Muslims living both inside and outside of the U.S. continue to feel the deeply negative effects of the dominant culture’s association of Muslims with terrorism and violence, often referred to as “Islamophobia.” In the U.S. military, Pfc. Abdo experienced a great deal of harassment and discrimination from his fellow servicemembers: “Early in basic training… one soldier repeatedly insulted me and Islam saying, ‘Go pray to your god that doesn’t exist or your pedophile prophet.’…During the training cycle I persistently reassured my comrades that my religion did not make me an enemy of theirs or an enemy of the state. The climax of this harassment occurred when my comrades all made a concerted effort to get me an unwanted discharge because I was not welcome in their ranks.”

    These acts mirror the broader U.S. climate of discrimination against Muslims, as evidenced in the media craze surrounding the “Ground Zero Mosque,” otherwise known as the proposed construction of the Park 51 Muslim Community Center in Lower Manhattan. The association of Islam with terror also served to spark the “International Burn-a-Quran Day” controversy out of Gainesville, Florida, which made national headlines on the ninth anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Just a few short weeks ago, a white New York City passenger named Michael Enright shouted, “Asalamualaykum, consider this a checkpoint!” prior to slashing the throat of Ahmad Sharif, the Muslim cab driver. https://themormonworker.wo?rdpress.com/2010/11/09/ctr?-supporting-veterans-who-c?hoose-not-to-fight-part-1/

  32. It looks like CourageToResist.org is scrubbing their Abdo stories.

    Google still finds them but the articles don’t come up.

    I’m getting I can get from the archives at the moment.

  34. None of which matters if the charge of child pornography sticks. All of the crap of conscience and fleeing service becomes subterfuge to evade due process for crime. Which makes all of his concerns for peace a lie.

    As he’s under arrest, now it’s time for those that follow the law to do their duty.

  36. The Army should really show up big on this one, and serve search warrants on some bloggers. I mean, that’s what they do, right?

  37. Mr. Pugliese,
    I’ll buy everything you say if you can explain how his request for CO status jibes with the firearms and bomb making components found in his hotel room.

  39. Jerry- I think Mr. Pugliese was just citing the article, not endorsing it. Those articles are disappearing EVERYWHERE.

    And I saw the Jawa thing, and love those guys, but I haven’t seen anything but their source saying that yet.

  41. I saved deleted several articles on my hard drive. I don’t know how long google cache links work but I kept them, too.

    I think the way this one starts out is interesting:

    >> Naser Abdo: The missing story of Muslim peacemaking

    >> On the one-year anniversary of the shooting at Fort Hood, TX, Naser Abdo (photo right), a Muslim servicemember seeking Conscientious Objector status based on the principles of Islam tells the missing story of Muslim peacemaking.

    They’re right about one thing: The story really is missing!

  42. I see the Jawa post has deleted the thing about the other guy. Or did I miss it in the post somewhere. I know I saw it earlier.

  43. Dear Under the Hood Cafe-

    It doesn’t matter which side your merry band of “conscienctious objectors” takes… you are still supporting someones war. In this case the word JIHAD is a better fit.

  44. Pulled out of context only for comment: These acts mirror the broader U.S. climate of discrimination against Muslims, as evidenced in the media craze surrounding the “Ground Zero Mosque,” otherwise known as the proposed construction of the Park 51 Muslim Community Center in Lower Manhattan.

    There it is! Outside of some nut cases the issue is simply one of assimilation? Islam is The Religion of Peace. Child Porn… simply a guy checking out his potential brides.

    Once we have defacto Sharia Law we will have peace. All will be well.

  46. Here’s the problem I have with CO status: THERE’S NO DRAFT. At no point did anyone put a gun to your head to make you join. Which is not to say that you can’t suddenly find God, but, honestly, you KNEW what you were getting into.

    This guy kinda screamed shitbag when the whole “kiddie porn” on a GOV computer no less part popped up. But the fact that he was caught in Killeen with bombs and a bunch of guns. . . that screams something else. I really REALLY hope this dipstick wasn’t going to try a copycat of Maj Hassan.

  47. Not the brightest bulb in the pack:

    “A law enforcement official told CBS News that Abdo had asked how to build explosives at a gun store near Fort Hood. His questions about explosives made the gun store worker suspicious and contact police, the official said. When police questioned Abdo at his motel, he made references to a plan to kill or injure people”

    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/07/28/national/main20084818.shtml

    Yeah, walk around Killeen, TX asking how to make explosives.

  48. The post about the other guy on jawa wasn’t deleted. its still there as an update by Howie towards the bottom…..

  49. You are right B, I don’t know how I missed it. Like I said, love the Jawa Report, just wish we had their source.
