Middle Eastern men arrested in Arizona near the border, carrying steel cylinders

[NYcarbineer]

Two of the Middle Eastern men were carrying stainless steel cylinders in backpacks...

AKA, a water bottle:

You people will pee your panties over any damn thing. Like the soccer shirt/Muslim prayer rug.

You actually think that the Feds would take them into custody because they were carrying a water bottle?
Seriously?

The story didn't say they were arrested for water bottles. It said they were detained, and they happened to have cylinders, which sounds like water bottles to me.

Who calls water bottles 'cylinders'?

A propaganda site like judicialwatch, the source of this tale.

Steel cylinders...You mean an insulated thermos? Illegals carry those rather often.

 

[NYcarbineer]

In case you were wondering, those steel cylinders would make ideal casings for bombs. Almost as good as using a pressure cooker, as the Boston Marathon bombers did.

Oh so they were smuggling in something ALMOST as good as a pressure cooker, because scouring America for a pressure cooker would be too damn hard?

But I'm glad to hear the government found no terrorist connections. Just as the govt didn't find out that the San Bernardino shooter's wife had given a fake address when applying for her visa to come to the U.S. The visa was granted after what the govt called a "thorough vetting".

And I'm glad the Obama administration feels there is no need to further close the border or let states police illegal aliens crossing the border. In fact, they are suing the states that even try.

This is the government we voted for. Now we're getting the results.

Middle Eastern Men Arrested Near Mexican Border with Steel Cylinders

DECEMBER 04, 2015

Five young Middle Eastern men were apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol this week in an Arizona town situated about 30 miles from the Mexican border, law enforcement and other sources told Judicial Watch.

Border Patrol agents spotted the men crossing a ranch property in the vicinity of Amado, which is located about 35 miles south of Tucson and has a population of 275. Two of the Middle Eastern men were carrying stainless steel cylinders in backpacks, JW’s sources say, alarming Border Patrol officials enough to call the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for backup. A multitude of federal agents descended on the property and the two men carrying the cylinders were believed to be taken into custody by the FBI.

Only three of the men’s names were entered in the Border Patrol’s E3 reporting system, which is used by the agency to track apprehensions, detention hearings and removals of illegal immigrants. E3 also collects and transmits biographic and biometric data including fingerprints for identification and verification of individuals encountered at the border. The other two men were listed as “unknown subjects,” which is unheard of, according to a JW federal law enforcement source. “In all my years I’ve never seen that before,” a veteran federal law enforcement agent told JW.

The disturbing incident comes just days after six men—one from Afghanistan, five from Pakistan—were arrested in nearby Patagonia, a quaint ranch town that sits 20 miles north of the Mexican border city of Nogales. Federal authorities have confirmed the November 17 arrests and a local news outlet published a story that includes an official statement from the Border Patrol. Special Agent Kurt Remus in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Phoenix headquarters told JW that the agency’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces vetted and interviewed the six men and determined that there were “no obvious signs of terrorism” so they were returned to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.

However, Special Agent Remus told JW that there is no record of this week’s incident in Amado and that he knew nothing about it. JW also put in a call to DHS headquarters, but received no response. In the last year JW has broken a number of stories involving serious terrorist threats on the southern border that were disputed on the record by various Obama administration officials. Among these is an April report—confirmed by high-level Mexican authorities—about ISIS operating camps near the U.S. border in areas known as Anapra and Puerto Palomas west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.

Last fall JW was the first to report on an Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) plot orchestrated from Ciudad Juárez to attack the U.S. with car bombs or other vehicle borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED). As a result of JW’s reporting Ft. Bliss, the U.S. Army base in El Paso, increased security.

Never checked, but don't we sell stainless stell cylinders at just about every hardware and home depot store? What'd they need to bring their own for? And were they in fact just thermoses the media mischaracterized?

When you say 'the media' take note that it appears the only source of this story is judicialwatch, a notorious rightwing propaganda operation.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Awesome thread. It gives me hope for our nation.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Their Plan B?

Go to one of the 15 Walmarts in Tucson, AZ

arizona walmart - Google Search:

and buy one of these

Philippe Richard 6-Quart Pressure Cooker, Aluminum - Walmart.com

It appears that somewhere along the line they got their plan A and plan B mixed up.

If one has even a slightly functioning bullshit detector, one would dismiss this "news" article as total bullshit and would never post it as information.

This is one more hysterical example of how hysteria operates.

I see the left upset over the word cylinders and think that instills fear.
Wrong.

This country is more upset that neither party is really serious about securing the boarder, not fear over stupid words.

 

[BULLDOG]

Two of the Middle Eastern men were carrying stainless steel cylinders in backpacks...

AKA, a water bottle:

You people will pee your panties over any damn thing. Like the soccer shirt/Muslim prayer rug.

You actually think that the Feds would take them into custody because they were carrying a water bottle?
Seriously?

The story didn't say they were arrested for water bottles. It said they were detained, and they happened to have cylinders, which sounds like water bottles to me.

Who calls water bottles 'cylinders'?

A right winger who wants to make something sound more ominous than it is. The article called them cylinders. There is no indication that the border patrol called them that.

It's not what they were carrying so much, as it's about them crossing the boarder to begin with.

Here in AZ when the boarder patrol goes after you, it's because you crossed the boarder illegally.

Two of five were believed to have been taken into custody by the FBI? Believed to be by who? Judicial Watch? Why would they hold only two of the group if they thought anything amiss was happening? I guess there could be something to it, but if there is, we will hear much more about it in the coming days. If not, then it is just another lie designed to stir up the crazies.
