This happened a couple of days ago, but this story didn't have much press.

Quote:
Police say five men arrested in connection to a break-in at a historic building in the southern state of Texas are from Morocco.

Officials said they recovered "photographs of infrastructure" from the suspects' vehicle. These included pictures of water systems, shopping malls and other public buildings.

They said the men had travel documents and parking passes indicating they had visited places all across the United States.

Guess this gives the TSA just the fodder they need to monitor highways because the terrorists have taken to the interstate over the airplane.

If you're going to post so belatedly behind the news cycle, make sure your fearmongering hasn't become OBE.

Still suspicious to me.

Documents found inside the van showed the men, all in their 20s, had traveled extensively to high-level security facilities around the country, according to local media reports. Investigators also told the Associated Press that 90-day visas, maps, cell phones and computers were found inside the vehicle.
Makes zero sense for tourists to break into a courthouse with photos of infrastructure in their RV.

Moroccan from London.

Drunk Muslims? We all know alcohol is against their religion.

How common is it to have snapshots of high security facilities? "Oh yeah, here's me pictured in front of a N. Korean nuke lab". "Here's another of me in front of San Onofre"...

Makes zero sense at all.

Sounds like overt downplay. Most will not read the details and won't question one liner blurbs that come across the nightly news.

Edit:
It does sound like a non-terrorist incident. 5 tourists in their 20s..they were out partying and got themselves into trouble.
Video of inside the courthouse show them playing with the judges gavel and putting on a sombrero and walking down halls.
They were on valid tourist visas and were cooperating via translators.

At least we didn't kill them first and then investigate eh ? This IS what America is slowing turning into IMHO so we better be careful about "incidents".

Of course it didn't get much press. The Obama administration is lying and trying to claim that there is Homeland Security.

Only someone very gullible would believe that. That's as unbelievable as the far-fetched story they made about finding some terrorist plot way going on way down in Mexico. Like anyone would believe that, they can't control who or what comes over that border but they can find some terrorist plotting somewhere in Mexico, and this was just some drunken Muslim prank.
