Editor’s Note: Updates to this story follow the article.
The typically quiet town of Casa Grande, Arizona, was rocked by an explosion at the local Social Security Administration office early Friday morning of what appears to an improvised explosive device (IED). No one was hurt in the explosion, which occurred shortly before the office was scheduled to open. The explosion was reportedly heard and felt all over the area.
While the little town of Casa Grande and the nearby Phoenix area are talking about the incident, virtually no one else is. In fact, the only reason I was following the story is because I’m presently in the area and saw the initial reports on the explosion and continued to look into it .
Within 90 minutes of the explosion, police had a suspect in custody. But you wouldn’t know it from reading the establishment media reports this past weekend. One reason might be that the suspect is 47-year-old Abdullatif Aldosary of Coolidge, AZ, an Iraqi refugee.
On Friday, federal agents served a search warrant on his home. Aldosary has been on the radar of the Department of Homeland Security for at least the past couple of years.
Late Sunday afternoon, I confirmed with a source at the Phoenix FBI office that the case is being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism. The source said that Aldosary is expected to be charged with a host of federal and state explosives and arson charges. (See update below.)
On Saturday, the Casa Grande Dispatch reported:
An explosive device was detonated Friday morning by the back door of the U.S. Social Security Administration office, shaking downtown Casa Grande, but no one was injured.
Federal agents, including those of the FBI, rushed to the scene. The FBI would not confirm whether anyone was in custody, but the Casa Grande Dispatch learned that a Coolidge resident, Abdullatif A. Aldosary, 47, was being questioned. The investigation involved agents’ going to his home at 4732 W. Lemon Ave., on the west side of Coolidge.
The device exploded at 8:24 a.m. at the federal office, 501 N. Marshall St. The back door and wall were charred and debris was thrown throughout the back parking lot, damaging a car parked nearby.
The office was not yet open but more than 10 employees were inside, police said.
A witness was able to provide police with a license plate number on a small dark-colored compact car that fled the scene. The registration showed an address in the Martin Valley subdivision of Coolidge. Coolidge Police Department officers found the vehicle at the Lemon Avenue address. The homeowner, Aldosary, was turned over to the FBI shortly before 10 a.m.
County recorder records show Aldosary bought the house on Aug. 12, 2008. According to court records, he was charged in September with assault and disorderly conduct. He also was charged in March 2008 with four counts of aggravated harassment at the request of the U.S. Homeland Security Department.
FBI, Homeland Security, Federal Protective Service and U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents were at the scene collecting evidence throughout the day.
Another news report states that Aldosary served eight months in prison for that earlier aggravated harassment case.
Even though Aldosary’s identity was known to news agencies on Friday after his arrest, national and international media outlets, such as CNN and Reuters which published reports late Friday night, noted his arrest but not his identity. And none but local media have reported Aldosary’s name ever since.
Now imagine if a Tea Partier — or even someone who shared the same name as a Tea Partier – had fire bombed a federal facility less than a month after Barack Obama’s reelection. Anyone think it would be getting more media coverage?
UPDATED (8:25p EDT): I just spoke again with my contact in the FBI Phoenix field office (who is not authorized to speak on behalf of the FBI office). This contact said that it is highly unlikely that Aldosary will be charged with any terrorism offense. While they are internally treating it like a domestic terrorism investigation, including looking at if he had any help constructing the explosive device, the FBI is saying very little and will prosecute this as a simple explosives and arson case because of “the political sensitivities involved.”
UPDATE #2: Please note that the Daily Kos was first out of the gate, blaming the bombing on “right-wing extremism”:
Today, At about 8:30 AM, it appears a small explosive was detonated at the rear door of a Social Security office in Casa Grande, AZ. Thankfully, nobody was injured. It is still early, and we cannot say that it is a political act, or even be sure that this is an act of domestic terrorism, but it does seem likely.
Assuming this is a bombing, and that the bombing was conducted by a right wing zealot opposed to big government (neither of which we know for sure), I think we are seeing the start of something that I have seen coming for awhile.

Daily Kos: Have narrative, will blog.





I would think that this would be better classified as an example of “workplace violence”, no?
Of course, I’ve always wondered if the media knew of something Ms. Giffords had done that would cause a Tea Partier to seek “revenge”, and thus once thet heard of the shooting they just assumed….but it’s a silly thought, of course, and I discount it, naturally–but it would make more specific sense than just “we think Tea Partiers are by nature violent.”
Not that media-types did not feel that way in 2010, and obviously they felt that way earlier this year. Whereas Islam is peace-loving. Obviously. Ask folks in Benghazi. They’ll tell you.
“Ask folks in Benghazi. They’ll tell you.” — oh, wait,they’re dead … never mind.
On the contrary, Ms Giffords had just joined a dozen or so other Democrats in voting against Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House. IIRC, she voted for Harold Ford? As a result, a Kos blogger wrote “My congresswoman is dead to me”, which comment was immediately scrubbed after the shooting, whereupon Kos began blaming it on Sarah Palin. But you knew that because of the MSM outcry that ensued after he tried that crap, right?
Read Kos’ bio on Wikipedia. A bigger coward does not exist. Liberals, of course, call this “bravery” and love him for it.
Workplace violence? Did this convicted criminal work at that social security office?
Cali, It’s a reference to the Fort Hood shooting.
How does one explain to average Americans that the Islamist-in-Chief (and surrogates…think: Huma Abedin/Hill, Samantha Powers etc) brought them to the point of no return, and intend to continue doing so? Will they believe that ‘Dear Leader’ hearts with the Iraqi ‘refugee’ even more than he does with average Americans? And the media is so in the tank, that if their offices explode they would still stay silent. Yes, they would.
Well, the POTUS is anti-American and IED’s in America mean squat to him.After all, they explode all over the Muslim world. Why shouldn’t it happen in ‘imperialist’ America? And it is due to his Sunni/Wahabbi roots that the west is witnessing the implosion (fiscally too) of America, as well as the Middle East. And what happens there reverberates in the US and all over the world.
Think this is an exaggeration? Fine. But here are some facts – http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/10/11/the-islamist-in-chief-his-kenyan-wahhabi-relatives-obamas-inner-roots-addendum-to-the-ties-that-bind-the-islamist-in-chief-to-sunni-islam-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/
And it is not for nothing under his watch the Mid East is worse than ever, and more ‘workplace’ violence ‘crimes’ are exploding all over the US too.
Cause and effect.
What’s even funnier is the ancestors of slaves in this country overwhelmingly voted for an ancestor of slave holders in Kenya – Barack Hussein Obama. Too bad so many black Americans don’t bother to do a little research.
I guess none of the other White Presidents dont have any ancestors that might have bought or own slaves at one time…..makes ya think huh.
Re:
“I guess none of the other White Presidents dont have any ancestors that might have bought or own slaves at one time…..makes ya think huh.”
A superficially snappy, witty comment, but actually it steers away from and evades the intended, rather clever irony, when one ….actually …..thinks about it.
No! He didn’t work there–he attacked the office.
How in the heck can u even say that open your eyes that is what is wrong with people these days they don’t want to see the truth.
Islam, of course, is the religion of peace. And, also, we must not upset the media meme that Barack Hussein Obama, Nobel Peace Prize winner, has bought peace to the Muslim world.
I live just 15 miles from Casa Grande (San Tan Valley) here in Pinal County, and no one, NO ONE, is talking about the incident, as if it’ll just go away.
I live in the Phoenix area and this is the first I’ve heard of this bombing.
I also live in Phoenix, and I did hear about the bombing…but not about the bomber’s ethnicity until now, although his name definitely IDs him. The “Arizona People’s Democratic Republic,” our Gannett main source of info, with its affiliate, TV Channel 12, is so danged PC that it never publishes ethnicity, except when the suspect is white.
Your Gannett publication, of which I stopped my family’s subscription is AKA (Also known as) La Republica
(For their affinity for Illegal Aliens) or by elected Conservatives at The Repugnant
I live in Goodyear, AZ and it is also the first time I’m hearing this.
Obviously a disenfranchised voter. Eric holder will get right on this.
I am so tired of worrying about people being offended. Let them be offended. I[‘m offended that people get their noses out of joint so easy. This was an act of terrorism …. period.
“America,s chickenzzz, coming home, to roost. “.I am sick and tired of the horonable Reverend Wright, and his parishioner,in the white house, and the press that put him there.
Why has this person NOT been deported because of his recent crimes?
A good question. If I were a betting man, it’s probably because he has refugee status, which makes it virtually impossible to deport.
Islam is the religion of hate, intolerance, and fanatical behavior. Nobody could ever sell that Islam means peace; give it up dude. Islam is hate and the Prophet Mohammad is just another worthless child molester–it is written in the Quran that Mohammad was sexing his 9 year old wife (Islam is perversion–who has a 9 year old wife–not even old enough to be a mother); we all know that–it’s written in the Quran. If you don’t like my facts of truth, based on what your bible says, please blow-up in some Middle Eastern location with a couple of your favorite clerics close-by; you know, clerics who refuse to martyr themselves as demanded of their Islamic followers because they,… the clerics… know it’s all… delusional, but not in a democratic free location in the west… Let me babble like an Islamic Cleric and this will run on for hours. For the bottom line, require your clerics to practice what they preach (they should blow up before you do) and think about how stupid the ideals of Islam really are. Is is really cool to ball nine-year-old little girls like Mohammad as stated in the Quran? How does that make Allah great? Allah is just a delusion in the mind of a child molester.
My reading glasses were broken recently, and I have been having trouble reading and understanding. Did I just read that an individual who already has a record for dealing with law enforcement, has tried to bomb a Federal government office, and little is being done to report or prosecute the guy? Why isn’t this guy looking at 20 years in the pen?
A student of mine had his father murdered at Fort Hood by Major Nidal Hassan. Workplace violence my foot. Major Nidal Hassan on that date 1. declared himself a traitor to the United States and 2. he is an unlawful enemy combatant and 3. that was a combat zone. All victims of that shooting need compensation and commendations accordingly.
Why don’t Comedy Central and Southpark make fun of Mohammedans? Just because their insane liberals doesn’t mean they’re suicidal.
They tried. Not only did they get death threats, but their bosses told them “Don’t you even dare.”
“and little is being done to report or prosecute the guy?”
Where do you get that idea from? Surely they need to, you know, investigate first? Or is being muslim enough?
They apparently have the evidence tying him to the crime. That’s when the prosecution starts. “Prosecuted” doesn’t mean “guilty”.
Hey bro, no bring Muslim is not enough, but being on homeland securities watch list for years and having run INS with law, plus the fact he was seen leaving the scene and no doubt they Swyped his hands for bomb making chemicals and powders…… All of which are not going to just wash away…… So yes he needs to beer prosecuted, but the bigger crime is lack of reporting and false reporting . Such as the jack ass who blasted it wads a right wing zelot
The creators of Southpark, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone, are big advocates of the 1st amendment and have made several attempts since 2001 to put Muhammed in episodes and make fun of the self imposed censorship from the media. All attempts have been censored by the network.
Southpark HAS shown Muhammed in an episode. In a 2000 episode called ‘super best friends’ they even referenced it in later, censored episodes, that muhammed was there, where everyone could see him just standing around and nothing bad happened.
It is Comedy Central that is too afraid to show muhammed and keeps censoring their episodes. The creators of the show have put him in at least 3 episodes in the last few years that were all heavily cut.
Correct. In contrast, the folks behind “The Simpsons” admit that they won’t make fun of Islam and Muslims as they make fun of everything else because of … fear. I’m only aware of one episode that included a Muslim character and his family. And the show portrayed that character being unfairly “targeted” after Homer discovers explosives in his garage. Because, as we later learn, that Muslim was … a demolitions engineer!
And no one asked why a demolitions engineer would keep explosives in his garage, rather than secure, climate-controlled, bomb-proof storage?
Granted, it’s the Simpsons, but just YOU try to keep explosives in your garage, and watch what happens…
Yes, and there was also the episode where they put Mohammad in as someone dressed in a giant bear costume both in reference to the incident going on at the time where the muslims wanted to jail a teacher for allowing her students to name the class teddy bear Mohammad and to poke fun at muslims for never allowing Mohammad to be seen in image form. So all episode there was this giant bear walking around that everyone called Mohammad.
south park more libertarian than anything and slams obama a lot.
they also slammed islam/mohammed in may episodes.
you won’t see them broadcast or streaming though, you need the actual discs.
and 2 yrs ago, even facing threats, they released episodes doing it that comedy central edited on the fly.
south park creators had no control over it.
they ship it to comedy central complete, comedy central blanks/bleeps it out.
and it pissed them off too.
May God have mercy on us all.
It is only terrorism if the act is commited by a blonde haired white boy who attends the First Baptist Church and carries a Bible. Or a disgruntled WW2 Veteran who’s mad that the paperboy didn’t get his paper on the porch and his dog ate it. There is no way in the world that it could be terrorism if it was done by a muslim, because they are sweet, peaceful people and would never do anything to harm anyone.
I am really getting tired of this. This is a tolerant Country that accepts all religions. There is no, one religion that can just come in here and expect that we all will change. NO NO NO.
Obama – get your buddies to accept all religions or get the hell of this Country. It does not belong to them. It belongs to “The People” – like you do incidently.
Awwww now we all know this guy isn’t any terrorist, Mr. Obama has defeated terrorism and it no longer exists, besides if they ignore him, none of his friends will dare to blow up some other Federal building next week, or next month…right? So they are blaming a right wing radical….not one incident yet proven to be committed by any Tea Party member or right wing radical, yet they always go there. Hope Mr. Aldosary has lots of friends to carry on his work in Arizona….you ignorant fools deserve it.
Gladys, you’re right! Don’t they know that Osama Bin Laden is dead? Don’t they know that Bin Laden’s death was the end of terrorism and that the Muslims love us now? Especially knowing that Bin Laden got a proper Islamic funeral?
The guy had to be pushed to do this heinous act by right wing fanatics.
can’t be a right wing radical. They’re all waiting for the ship to hit the span, and the Boys in LIght Blue begin their invasion. THEN we’ll find out who all is a right winger, and just how radical and dedicated they will instantly become.
Nope, this guy is, from all the evidence currently available, a terrorist, and a moslem terrorist at that. He’s likely not even truly a refugee, but a plant.
WHY don’t these federal agents, charged with dealing with such things, do what we PAY them to do? Charge him under the terrorist laws that have been shoved down the throats of innocent, law abiding citizens, and affect nearly every area of our lives, on the promise that these laws are needed to keep us safe from precisely this sort of stuff? It fries me that we ALL must put up with the intrusions, restrictions, extra paperwork, monitoring, surveilance, loss of OUR freedoms, on the excuse that its “for our safety”, then when something happens like this, its just another ho hum every day occurrence. Meanwhile, a soldier who refuses to comply with orders from a phoney “commander in chief” gets an insane sentence….. so, will someone please remind me once again: WHO works for WHOM in this crazy place? Did I miss something or have FedGov somehow managed to change the ground rules, and we are no longer under a government of by, and for THE PEOPLE? WHO is the sovereign these days?
Decapitate this charming radical fellow on a live video like they did to Nick Berg. Jihad can work both ways here in America.
I like where your head is at. Why should we hold ourselves to a higher standard than the one our most depraved enemies expect of themselves?
I say – what they do, we do. If they behead someone, we behead someone. If they bomb an airliner, we bomb an airliner. If they riot because a youtube video makes fun of Mohammed, we riot because a youtube video makes fun of Christmas.
It’s been far too long that the feckless liberals in this country have expected us to be all “holier-than-thou”! It’s time to be just as bad as the enemy, or even better, let’s be worse!!
*Yawn*
Obvious troll is obvious.
we should not lower ourselves to their level. We should make it clear however that their stone age behavior will not be tolerated. I think better ways to deal with it would be, if you are a criminal in our country you will be deported to your country of origin. If it was a serious offense your whole family can go back while you go to prison. If you are killed by our police or soldiers while committing terrorism, you will be wrapped in a pig skin and buried in an unmarked grave. If your country has riots because of a youtube clip, a book burning, some cartoons or other such incident, your citizens will not be allowed in our country, not even on a holiday(scouting operation) to disneyland. If your country routinely has riots where our embassy is attacked and our flags burned… we will not give you any more billions of our taxpayer dollars.
You surely can’t think “an eye for an eye” would affect these radicals? They simply don’t appear to give a hoot for human life, ours or theirs! Western civilization is not something they desire but rather something else to despise! They take the heads of our beloved because it torments us, for us to do the same (which I’m not opposed to) would only serve to validate their anti-human antics. Until Obama is out, we’re going to see more tolerance of small town “terriosim” go unreported and buried .
Relax. The Department of Justice is going over YouTube to find the movie which drove this guy over the edge; meanwhile President Obama will convene a press conference tomorrow to tell Americans to consider the roots of Muslim anger.
That would be Glee.
@ Lou – HAHAHAHA!!! =))
This has been my week to send the same message over and over until everyone is talking about it . . . the insanity that defies logic, American values, the majority opinions, concerns who we are actually dealing with,and have been for a long time – THIS IS the only explanation that makes any sense: Eph 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].” We are told to not be deceived. How many are deceived? It is almost painful to watch the willful ignorance in our cities, churches, schools,and government.
I think you are exactly right.
The only way to consider this guy is as an individual. But this means that instead of arbitrarily refusing to prosecute the suspect as a terrorist, that we should follow the evidence where it leads. The Attorney General needs to stop considering “political sensitivities” and remember that he and the FBI work for ALL the American people, not just those whose sensitivities might be affected.
Otherwise it will be only with difficulty that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is distinguished with the secret police of other countries who also base their activities on “political sensitivities,” such as the Chinese “Ministry of Internal Calm” or the Russian “Ministry of Internal Affairs.”
If a person googles the terrorist act, we see it made the local ABC TV news, and a host of publications. I read about it in the AZ Republic. I know- the concern is it didn’t make national news. Terrorist acts like this will not be in the news for the foreseeable future. BHO is hoping the American public will become desensitized and is counting on us not being informed. If we call the big stations and newspapers and write comments to them, then they will know the public will find out and disseminate the news if necessary.
It caused a small amount of damage, nobody was hurt at all, nobody’s completely sure who did it and why.
So … what exactly are the networks supposed to be covering?
Tim, below, gives you your answer, Anonymoses.
You are correct! This will not be in the media but a NFL player who shoots his GF and them himself will be played over and over and over because they can use that as an example for gun control.
Gotta save those terrorism prosecutions for all that “domestic terrorism” that’s being committed by those terrible Tea Partiers.
This is all a terrible nightmare. We’ve lost our country.
Can anyone point me to where PJM has covered any of these stories:
http://azstarnet.com/news/local/crime/phillips-deemed-fit-for-trial-in-ex-husband-s-pipe/article_bfb9dd56-3b47-11e2-8af3-001a4bcf887a.html
http://www.ktvq.com/news/pipe-bomb-suspect-pleads-not-guilty/
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/09/nyregion/home-depot-employee-charged-in-plot-to-bomb-stores.html
So we’ve got a guy (who, last I checked, has not been charged or even specifically named as a suspect) involved in an explosives attack that did little damage and harmed nobody. You’re comparing that with mass shootings which actually did kill and maim people, and meanwhile you’re ignoring very similar stories elsewhere that don’t happen to suit your narrative. You’re also trying to impose a “terrorism” narrative while not knowing (a) who actually did it (not really, not for sure) and (b) why. Without the “why” it’s pretty much impossible to call any act of violence “terrorism”. It’s not enough that the perp be a muslim. Words – they do have meanings, you know.
Pot. Kettle.
Grow up, child.
Afraid I have to agree with Techno on this one. Just because the guy’s an Iraqi he isn’t necessarily a terrorist. He sounds like a run-of-the-mill crank to me – a violent one, but a crank nevertheless. What kind of terrorist attacks a Social Security Administration office in Bugtussle when there’s the whole Phoenix metropolitan area to choose from? I’d say he has a problem with the SSA, possibly with that particular office.
The reason nobody’s reporting this? Nobody got killed and nobody cares what happens in Bugtussle. No media coverup required. If the FBI finds the guy’s house and computer full of jihad stuff, then I’ll call it terrorism. Otherwise – just a crank.
He might not even be Muslim, for all we know. Not that they’d tell us if he was.
Judging by the information about his past activities, religion is the least of his problems.
He seems to have an obsession with porn, and social interaction skills that make ted kaczynski look like a socialite. He is very clearly not dealing from a full deck.
heard lately about some of the things that can get someone on the terrorist watch lists, the no fly lists, and under surveilance? Things like being a Ron Paul supporter, anti-abortion, in favour of fiscal responsibility, a recent war veteran, member of a number of religious groups, or even haivng an NRA sticker on your pickup and a pair of gunracks in the back window? Can anyone say “double standard”? Here is an incident of a real, live bombing, of a Federal facility. The chief “Person of Interest” is a refugee from Iraq with a history of violent offenses, whose car was seen leaving he scene very near th time of the explosion. When a guy walks into a bank, pulls out a handgun, points it at a teller, demands money, and fires a shot, just because the shot misses her and only does minor damage to a piece of furniture, does that mean its not an armed robbery? Get real……
Now, if this guy were a white kid from New Jersey, out of work and despondent, I’d be waiting for the back story of him being part of a “cell” of some sort which got “infiltrated” by some “agent” of the government, which put the idea in his head, gave him the bomb and dropped him off at the scene. THAT incident would surely be called a terrorist attack. Don’t laugh, its happened… more or less just like that.
I’m wondering about the significance of his targeting the Social Security building in Casa Grande. Was he getting disability checks or some other benefit from that government office? Maybe the government cut him off and he was no longer receiving his checks. Even gullible infidels wisen up eventually and tire of paying the jizya protection money; perhaps his recent eight-month stint in the slammer made him ineligible for continued benefits? Then he got pissed and decided to get even? All of this is idle speculation, of course. I’m interested to know the whole story if it ever comes out. Why wasn’t this lowlife phony refugee dimwit promptly deported after getting out of the slammer for the previous case of “aggravated harassment”?
My guess as to that target. The dude is from Coolidge, which is where I lived for a short time. If he was picking a government target, there’s not a whole heck of a lot in that area or Casa Grande (govt buildings). Near Coolidge is where the main state prison is located, and we all know how those places are in the middle of nowhere with nothing around. If he feels like I felt when I lived in Coolidge, he’s probably just pissed off he has to live in that hole. ha! =))
Didn’t Obama actually go to Arizona after Gabby Giffords was shot and asked for “A new tone in civil discourse” after conservatives were wrongfully and maliciously blamed for the shooting? The fact that the gunman was a deranged lunatic with absolutely no party affiliation never really seemed to bother the far left. I guess the morons at the Daily Kos didn’t get that memo.
If the far left keeps raising the level of accusations by making these baseless charges whenever there is a crime or a tragedy, then it will only force everybody else to reply in kind. If that’s what they want, that’s what they’ll get. Until finally the jerks at the Daily Kos get that real civil war they’ve been pining for all these years between right and left. And pathetic frauds like Obama never call out his people at the Daily Kos, let alone condemn them. That makes Obama complicit in this too by feeding the new civil war that’s shaping up in this country. It may take just one small spark to set off a real civil war if the left keeps taking every opportunity to wrongfully slam conservatives for everything that happens. I’m just surprised that the left hasn’t blamed the Ft. Hood shootings on some “vast right-wing conspiracy.” But I’m sure the Daily Kos will figure out a way to do that, too.
I wonder when the anonymous blogger at The Daily Kos is going to take back his accusation that a “right wing zealot” was responsible.
Not going to hold my breath while I wait…
IF this is the right guy (IF) how do you know he’s not a right-winger?
I suggest taking a few minutes to watch the following:
http://stg.do/9LDc
Sad as it is, perhaps this is the only way the great liberal society we now must live within will EVER face the reality of terrorism.
That reality being numerous and deadly bombings within this country as perpetrated by muslim terrorists.
How else are they ever going to accept that, regardless of whether we declared war on muslim terrorists in the first place – they certainly have declared war on us.
My gut feeling, and I hope it’s wrong, is that this is not the last time this is going to happen – and it’s certainly not the first time either. My suspicion is that when terrorists don’t see the attack making headlines that they are going to plan even more extreme acts as a way of making those headlines.
I think most will be intercepted and stopped, but realistically I don’t think the intelligence community can’t stop everything and eventually one of them is going to get through – and it may very well result in massive casualties that cannot be kept out of the headlines.
After gloriously declaring an end to US oppression of the poor innocent muslims, who are members of the religion of peace, I wonder how the Obamabots will spin it then….?
Here is commentary on this post at Refugee Resettlement Watch, with some context about Iraqi refugees. http://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/iraqi-refugee-charged-in-explosion-of-ied-at-arizona-social-security-office/
In fact, this site has more information about the underbelly of our refugee programs than you could find anywhere else.
So, yet another disgruntled muslim doing his duty, to his God, and his country…well, eastern society. I can’t understand why being politically correct is more important than life itself? In the western part of the world, suicide is deemed the action of a mentally ill individual…but we can’t say he’s mentally ill. Why? They’re our values ere, but we can’t use them?
People, this is global co-dependency at it’s worst….which, by the way, is yet another mental disorder….so with that, and that virtually everything related to what’s happening in the world today, we have a crisis at every turn…but our taxes are supposed to pay the salaries of people capable of managing our affairs…however, it seems all we end up with is incompetant dummies, and people who have…..affairs. Go figure!
Gee, with a little luck maybe this maggot can get a really first class maggot, to defend him. NO, not Gloria Allred. I’m thinking Brett Kimberlin.
Afterall, Kimberlin is an expert at both occupations. Bombing and lawyering.
(Written with immense sarc) I’m waiting for something like this to happen in Greeley, Colorado.
Some self-righteous turkey might go after one of the churches which SOOOO offended Sayyid Qutb back in the Forties.
Paraphrasing Bernard Lewis, what fuels this is hatred. Pure obsessive hatred.
Bob Costas said it’s okay as long as he didn’t use a firearm.
The story is “buried” on the AzCentral web site (The Arizona Republic). I did a search for “Aldosary”. The first time, the search engine went into oblivion. The second time, I forced a search for that name, but it decided it knew my mind better that I myself and returned results for “Al Dosary”.
Finally I found one article, published Saturday, which does NOT mention his national origin. The good investigative journalists at the Republic obviously took the statements by law enforcement at face value.
If the story had some tenuous, rumored connection with the late Ev Mecham, it’d take up the entire front section.
In Tucson, the West University Neighborhood Association crowd who all but publish the Daily Star haven’t whispered that name. Not at all surprising.
Thanks for this truth telling article. Let’s keep calling the Obama Administration and the mainstream media the liars and hypocrites they are!
“He also was charged in March 2008 with four counts of aggravated harassment at the request of the U.S. Homeland Security Department.”
That’s where’d you start, if you were interested in why this story seems to be getting buried. What was that about, and what did it/he have to do with DHS? Who is this guy, and what is his history/background? That’s where the story lies. Just like with Behghazi, the bad guys and the gov’t is probably intertwined in some way.
Your so called “liberal media” may not blow everything out of proportion, but has anybody stopped to think it is because that just a) strikes fear and hatred into people and b) just gives more power to the perpetrators. Haven’t we moved past the idea of persecuting a body of people, and instead learned to concentrate on the individuals committing crimes? There is always an “I told you so” when it comes to hate for somebody else. I could tell you with %100 certainly there will be an African American kill another African American with gun violence, or an innocent by standard…does that mean we should round them all up? Some of you might deny that is your hope for the people of Middle eastern decent or the followers of Islam, but I doubt any of you would bat an eye lash if the country reverted to WWII tactics of putting them away in camps. Terrible things happen, and while we don’t have to accept it, we have to stop expecting the gov’t to be our catch all net for everything. Some people (including white Americans) are cracked. That doesn’t make them Osama Bin Laden regardless of what flag they fly.
Gag me with a spoon. Your political correctness is overwhelming!
Anon,
You’re very naive. The Goebbels media goes out of it’s way to blame people who wouldn’t normally be involved in something like this, while ignoring those that would. I hope the next bomb is placed in the lobby of NBC. How’s that?
How is that? Very mature! (sarcasm off)
The explosion occurred at 8:24 AM mountain time, 7:24 Pacific time. The suspect, a known Islamist with a history of terrorist-like behavior, was arrested within 90 minutes – by 8:54 Pacific time.
At 11:55 AM Pacific Time, two hours after this person was arrested, The Daily Kos published an article which ignores the evidence and explicitly guesses that the person responsible for the explosion is “a right wing zealot”.
Hatred and intolerance are not the exclusive purview of Islamists.
The media is unable to cover a real case of terrorism beause they busy covering Belcher and case against gun owner ship.
I hope the next building they bomb is at the Goebbels media.
Amazing.. as simple as it was, I miss the old emergency color coding.. I would say, in America today, “RED, RED, red code…., warning Wil Rogers!”
The comments made by the wing-nuts on the DailyKos were entertaining. They blamed conservatives immediately and began to pat themselves on the back and high-fived themselves for being “brilliant” enough to figure it out before the rest of the media could.
Nary a word from any of them after it was discovered it was an Islamic terrorist attack…
Gosh, if a Tea Partier HAD been the perpetrator,
1) the target would have been the Daily Kos, and
2) the bombing would have been successful…
I’m not sure why the misinformation on the media silence is labeled on this story; not the case:

All coverage has been aired here in Phoenix… Saw it myself.
Had you actually READ the article you would have discovered that I specifically noted that the local media — and only the local media — was covering the story. And you would have also seen that I linked to some of those stories. #FAIL
well its domestic terrorism as far as im concern I dont know why they are calling it political arson for? but we all have to be alert at all times now.
DTA Dont trust anyone.
Mainstream media doesn’t hesitate to try to scare people to death over global warming, over what the GOP is going to do to them, etc, but when a terrorist does something, keep it quiet is their rule.
Is it no surprise that Fox News doesn’t report on another loony wingnut who blows up what is essentially a firecracker?
Of course the media didn’t and won’t report this. Didn’t their little bitch dictator barack morsi said all these terrorist incidents are just workplace violence.
The Obama administration is a continuing national scandal, and I don’t care WHO objects to my saying so. Ignoring a fact does not change it.
Drown him in a tub of pig blood. Then dump the body in a lime pit.
sorry you guys, but one thing i find truly shocking is, that most of these comments here about the dangers of muslims, sound very similar to the general vibe 60 years ago in Germany. When will people stop discriminate other people out there for their race, their nationality, or their religion. Will they ever. I slowly give up hope. But since I have children, I am not allowed to give up hope.
Seriously, guys. Watch yourself. They used to say about the Jews, that they were trying to destroy everything else, that they were trying to get all the money, that they had secret supporters etc. etc. (I will not go into it, because any of you can do this research on your own anywhere)…..
So I bet each and everyone of you is shocked about Holocaust and always wondered how it could all start. How one nation could just come up with yellow tags for people, so they would officially be known as Jewish. And how one nation did nothing when these people where hoarded in Ghettoes, and deported away, to make life more secure for the rest of the nation.
What would you guys do, if there was a law one day, that would demand from every muslim in your country, to wear a certain clothing to be seen in pulic?
Why don´t us people learn anything from history at all?
And who in hell gives us the right to always think we are better than others? And how can you seriously expect for anything to get better, when you wanna kill people, because they deserve it. Who decides? Why can´t you really be better than these people? I am sick and tired of this world.
I am not Muslim. I am not American. I am not black. I am not Jewish. I am not Chinese. I am not Half-Irish.
I am just a woman. A mother of a child. A human being. Someone who is lost. Someone who believes that we all are gonna die, and have to make the best out of life. Someone who believes that we are only guests on this planet, that we are ready to destroy. Someone who believes, that it is not right to make a difference between a white mother or a black mother. Someone who wants her child to learn from a Muslim kid, and a Jewish, and a Christian, and an Atheist, just to find out that they are all the same. KIDS with one nose and two eyes, and hopefully a heart on the right place.
Wow. Just WOW, did you ever miss the boat!!!
Did it ever occur to anyone there may be a very GOOD reason they didn’t release information? It reads: “Even though Aldosary’s identity was known to news agencies on Friday after his arrest, national and international media outlets, such as CNN and Reuters which published reports late Friday night, noted his arrest but not his identity. And none but local media have reported Aldosary’s name ever since.” Did it ever occur to anyone that CNN, Reuters, etc were asked NOT to make it national or well known because this guy could be a lead to a bigger cell? That months, if not years, of hard work could go down the toilet by losing informants, etc if too much was published. WHY do so many jump to conclusions and automatically ASSume they’re trying to COVER up a LIBERAL issue??? Grow up for God’s sake. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in a war and all things that are normally practiced in peace time – all bets are off when involved in a war.
People, use your mind. It’s there for a reason.
This is obviously not being covered because 911 wars were not justified being that they never proved that any “muslim hijackers” committed that crime. The Wars on Afghanistan and Iraq were completely uncalled, we fought them on behalf of jews, on behalf of israel.
That’s what this is about, media blackout (who owns the media?) so as not to draw attention to their falsely classifying 911 as islamic terrorism with no proof.
This is again, about protecting the jews are the expense of Real Humans With A Conscience.
911 was done by american and israeli JEWS, not some Ragtag Muslim fanatics.
We spent trillions and sent out poor (Human not jewish) kids off to die for a big lie, a false flag committed by israeli secret service. How many jews died in the war fought for israel?
Because, how do you prove this was an act of islamic terrorism not just vandalism or disgruntled person wanting to damage the building. Nobody was hurt.
Can you say that it’s islamic terrorism because of 911 being committed by muslims?
You could, but again, there’s no proof that 911 was committed by muslims and much more circumstantial which points to jews working for israel to ramp up support for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
You could say muslims are known to do terrorism, but then Jews are also known to do terrorism and then frame muslims for it: THE LAVON AFFAIR, THE U.S.S. LIBERTY, 911.
