so apparently a total of 8 gathered outside the Gambian Palace (while Mr. Big waited in the "safe house"), fired their weapons in the air and skidaddled when palace guards returned fire...no word yet on why.

in what may have been one of the most bizarre aspects of this story, Attorney General, Robert Holder states (presumably with a straight face);

"These defendants stand accused of conspiring to carry out the violent overthrow of a foreign government, in violation of U.S. law, The United States strongly condemns such conspiracies. With these serious charges, the United States is committed to holding them fully responsible for their actions.”

later in the story... A search of Faal's home in Brooklyn Center, Minn. turned up three 55-gallon drums, three manuals for semi-automatic rifles, a Google satellite images of Gambia inside of a manila folder labeled “top secret” in handwritten black ink.

unsubstantiated reports revealed by some of my sources still active in a U.S. Intelligence Agency (that rhymes with Dee-Eye-Eh) indicated that a secret weapon marked "Death-Ray" but looking very familiar to my nephew's Nurf Machine Gun was held up in customs further hampering the coup d'état attempt.
