Northeast Intelligence Network - Visitors to this site may recall our reports of suspicious bulk cellular telephone purchases and the subsequent controversy about this issue. The essence of the argument involves the intended use of the cellular telephones purchased in bulk – in the majority of cases by young men of Middle Eastern appearance or origin.

Those on the side of the purchasers have consistently asserted that such purchases are made for entrepreneurial reasons – the phones are purchased in bulk and sold at a higher markup elsewhere. The purchasers have been described by their families as "good boys" with no connections to terrorism and no malevolent intent, a template ripped from the pages of certain Islamic civil rights organizations to portray these young men as victims of a system too quick to profile. The Northeast Intelligence Network has consistently maintained that the cell phones are being used for terrorist purposes, although this possibility has been consistently downplayed by federal authorities and the media.

On Wednesday, however, authorities in Muleshoe, Texas questioned a man who confessed to buying sixty disposable cell phones in a variety of Muleshoe stores. According to local news reports, he admitted that the phones would eventually be used as bomb detonators in Iraq – bombs that will undoubtedly claim the lives of our young men and women fighting in the dusty battlefields against Islamic terrorism – bombs built with components of cell phones purchased in the U.S.

According to this local news report, the man has since been released, and no charges were filed.

Sadly ironic, isn’t it?

1 Released? In Muleshoe? You're shitting me?

Look up redneck Good ol boys on the net. That's Muleshoe.

They probably killed the little twerp and buried his ass in the desert.

4 I smell something funny here.  I don't think those cheap cell phones work with the Iraqi cell phone system.  I believe our system is different and those really cheap phones don't work on anything but ours.  I know I have heard some GIs saying the cell phones they brought to Iraq didn't work there and they had to get different ones.

5 Maybe the plan is to use them here?

6 I would also note that while some phones will work both here and abroad, they are generally the more expensive phones.  The really cheap ones wouldn't.  I am not sure I buy the story.

If this guy was buying phones specifically for bomb triggers in Iraq, knew that when he bought them, and told the police that, I don't believe he would have been released.  I smell some embellishment of the story someplace.

7 #5 "Maybe the plan is to use them here?"


Now THAT is something that I have been worried about for a long time.  See those stories about bombs being planted inside buildings behind walls and such in Iraq?

9 Something smells about this story.
Muleshoe is in the Texas panhandle and the sheriff's departments up in that area are not the kind to have a conversation that goes like this:
"yeah, I bought those phones because I needed the chip in them that helps set off roadside bombs in Iraq that blows up American soldiers."  to which the sheriff replies "uh, OK, that is all we wanted to know.  You can go now."
Muleshoe is in rugged land and the sheriff's department's tend to be as rugged as the area they patrol.  They would have immediately called the FBI since Texas now has interdepartment (sheriff, DPS, Texas Rangers, FBI) communications.

10 They really use those to detonate IED's. Here's a pic of one after it detonated.

There's been several cases where Muslim men between the ages of 18 and 33 were caught transporting 100's of prepaid cell phones here in Ohio. Most of them are coming from Dearbornistan, Michigan.
