Jury sees video of GI buying bomb-making items
A Muslim soldier on the run for three weeks after going AWOL from a Kentucky Army post found no help from friends in his Dallas-area hometown, where he hatched a plan and bought supplies to blow up a restaurant filled with Fort Hood troops, according to testimony at his federal trial Tuesday.Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo, who was AWOL from Fort Campbell, Ky.
FBI Special Agent C. Michael Owens testified Abdo told him that after going AWOL, he wanted to flee the country or go to Edinburg to seek refuge with a man who helped his father years ago. But when the cabdriver in Dallas could not take him to South Texas, Abdo said, he looked at a map and recognized Killeen because of the news reports after the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage in which a Muslim soldier is charged, Owens said.
"He said he wanted to give faith to brother Nidal ... and said, `People think he's crazy, but he's not crazy and I came here to remind the people,'" Owens testified.
The reference was to Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist charged in the shootings that killed 13 and wounded more than two dozen. Hasan faces the death penalty if convicted at his military trial, set to start in August.
Abdo told investigators that he went to Texas to "martyr himself" for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, Owens said. Abdo told investigators he planned to put a bomb in what looked like a gift box, leave it a Chinese buffet frequented by Fort Hood soldiers, wait outside and shoot any survivors after the blast. Abdo said he expected to be killed by authorities or arrested, Owens told jurors.
Another incident raised authorities' concern after Abdo went AWOL. On July 4, police in Oak Grove, Ky., near Fort Campbell, reported finding a shovel, two large containers of bleach, body bags and a digital camera in a trash bin outside a truck stop. Oak Grove police Sgt. Victor Lynch told jurors he found Abdo's car at a nearby restaurant, where a truck stop employee had reported seeing him go after dumping the items. Lynch said he found a cattle prod, three boxes of handcuffs, trash bags and a large body bag carrier in the car, but Abdo was nowhere to be found.
Owens testified earlier that Abdo said he had planned to offer a Fort Campbell soldier a ride, kill him and videotape it while reciting the names of people he felt had been wronged by the U.S. military - including Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, a 14-year-old Iraqi girl who was raped before she and her family were killed in 2006. Five current or former U.S. soldiers went to prison, one for a life term, for their roles in that attack.

Abdo was the darling of the antiwar refusnik set a few years ago when he declared as a member of the 101st Abn Div. (AASLT)he could not deploy or fight against fellow Muslims. He was actually supported with funds by IVAW at one point before he was arrested and Under the Hood Cafe in Killeen (run by IVAW) was all over his FB page along with numerous IVAW members as friends.

IVAW organizers also read a statement from current U.S. servicemember and Conscientious Objector Naser Abdo about Islamophobia in the U.S. that has followed the attacks on 9/11 and its connections to war from the perspective of a Muslim C.O.: “To a soldier, the association of terror and Islam serves the purpose of falsely justifying ones actions in combat by stripping Muslims of their humanity. The association of terror and Islam is what we now refer to as Islamaphobia…it is as if the US public is just recently following a trend that has been rampant in the military for years. Only when the military and America can disassociate Muslims with terror can we move onto a brighter future of the religious collaboration and dialogue that defines America and makes me proud to be an American.”
Yet he was going to have no problem as a Conscientuous Objector to Killing others including fellow Soldiers.....
Fortunately he was caught before he could put on execution his horrific crime.

what an asshole.he went to Texas to "martyr himself" for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan
Why doesn't the traitorous fuck martyr himself for the people of the US? That's his home and the hand that feeds him after all.
I hope the judge shows him no mercy and gives this scumbag the maximum sentence.
It has to be life or a firing squad, this asshole can't ever see the light of day again.
hang him and bury him in an unmarked grave
Either one will suit me just fine. The only thing I hate worse than thieves are traitors.
Shitbag should be charged with treason and sent to the firing squad. Conscientiously object a 7.62 round, fuckhead.
I always kinda found it weird this people get caught, (note I don't approve of their actions or ideas) Because if you know how to do basic stuff, you'll know every thing you really need can be bought at nearly any store.
But then again you have to be a complete idiot to martyr if your able to keep going, but then again a smart man doesn't do terrorism through bombs he does it though politics.
Abdo found guilty of all charges

He deserves the punishment that should be the most painful to him and most exemplary to other potential traitors.
This is the second time in few years that such behavior occurs in the ranks of the US Army, so I hope the lessons were learned how to make the conscription of such guys impossible in the future. There's nothing more demoralizing for the soldiers than discovering in the discovery of traitors like Nasser Abdo and Nidal Hassan.
The US doesn't use conscription, Camera.
I know it. It's my poor English. I don't know the right word.
Maybe it's just me being an ass, but shouldn't muslim soldiers be monitored carefully from now on?
