Arrested for just making some cash on terrorism charges - GoFuckYourself.com

(TV5) -- The three suspects are now facing two counts each of Homeland Security Terrorism charges. All three suspects are due to be arraigned August 12th.

Around 1:00am August 11th the three men purchased cell phones from the Wal-Mart store on M-81 near the corner of M-24 in Caro. Wal-Mart places a limit on the number of cell phones that can be purchased at once, that number is three. The three men allegedly bought 80 by purchasing them three at time so that an alert wouldn't be triggered by the cash register. They also paid cash.

An alert clerk grew suspicious and called Tuscola County central dispatch. The Caro Police Department sent a unit and stopped the rented van on M-81 just east of Caro. The suspects were headed towards Bad Axe on M-81 where there is another Super Wal-Mart.

The three men are described as being of Palestinian descent but live in Texas. Police say the three, ages 19, 22, and 23 appear to be naturalized citizens.

One man was driving while the other two were in the back opening the phone packages with box cutters throwing the phones in one box, batteries in another and the packaging and phone charger in another container. The suspects had 1000 other cell phones in the van. There was also a bag of receipts showing that someone was in Wisconsin the day before.

The phones were Nokia TracFones selling for $20 at Wal-Mart. For your twenty dollars you receive a phone charger and 40 minutes of airtime. The phones do not have to be registered with a name. Also discovered was a laptop with store addresses and store logos.

Tim Nausler with the Michigan State Police bomb squad says this has all the tell tale signs of using cell phones to detonate bombs. He says you need two phones to detonate a bomb one to be with the explosive and the other to make the call to that phone. In some instances he says you can detonate with one phone using the alarm clock function.

The TracFones are a nationwide prepaid wireless phone service and are even offered with international long distance. These phones according to www.tracfone.com don't even have coverage in the Thumb area where they were purchased.

The men have been "cooperative, upfront, not hiding" anything according to police. They also told officers they get stopped frequently and say they buy the phones for $20 and sell them elsewhere for $38. They sell them without the packaging or charger.

The Caro Police Department, the FBI and the Homeland Security Terrorism Taskforce are involved in the case.

Wow, buy more than 3 cellphones = you go to jail for being a terrorist?

BoyAlley · 08-11-2006, 05:38 PM

Ah I see now, they were of Palestinian descent. Ok never mind, that explains it.

They probably are terrorists.

Too funny

So.. naturalized US citizens can be arrested if the want to trade in cellphones.

At the rate they bought phones - the suggestion is they were going to make 500 explosive devices???? Yea.. sure..

charged for buying shitty phones

woj · 08-11-2006, 06:30 PM

it does sound a little suspicious, why would they drive around the whole country, buying 3 phones at a time, when they could just order 1000 at once from walmart or tracfone?

Pleasurepays · 08-11-2006, 06:37 PM

you people are comical. do you REALLY believe this is the WHOLE story? 3 guys bought some phones and are being charged with terrorism? call me silly.... but since you are assuming so much, why not also assume that there is another component to this story?

Come on, if you were going to resell phones, would you do it the same way? That is, hop into a van, and start driving around the country stopping by each walmart on the way, where you would pick up 3 phones for a retail price?

They are either real stupid or up to some shady activity. If they really were running a business, they would order 1000 phones directly from tracfone and pay $10/piece instead of $20.

No, you misunderstood. They did not buy 3 phone at each wal mart. The article says they bought 80 at one wal-mart, just buying 3 at a time over and over. All they gotta do is drive around one city a couple times a week and make tens of thousands of dollars.

honestly, tracfone is not gonna give me a better price than they give wal-mart. $20 is pretty damn low for a phone, they just found a way to buy retail and still make almost double
