Bomb scare closes Fort Worth Freeway
« on: February 14, 2010, 05:43:12 AM »


FORT WORTH - A bomb scare led to the shutdown of Loop 820 at Lancaster Avenue in both directions on Saturday evening.

Fort Worth police said police followed and stopped two suspects. One of the suspects reportedly told police there may be a bomb in the vehicle they were driving.

WFAA has learned that the woman is Kimberly Homsi; she also goes by the name Asma Al- Homsi.

Al-Homsi has been under surveillance and was on the government's no-fly list  since being involved in a road rage incident back in December, 2005. She held up an inert grenade and threatened another driver. Garland's bomb squad later found ammunition in her car.

In 2007, the FBI and the Dallas Police Department called her a possible danger. Police say Al-Homsi has explosives and sniper training.

I remember seeing Al Homsi on some show talking about the benefits of converting to Islam, which she never did explain.

Please tell me there's a probation violation in there somewhere so she can sit in jail for a good, long time.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Some more background
Quote
... In 2005, Al-Homsi waved a fake grenade at a motorist on Central Expressway during a road-rage incident. She was put on probation for having a hoax bomb.

That probation was revoked after July 2007, when she was arrested after a six-hour police standoff at her Arlington home and accused of having a pipe fashioned into an illegal firearm. Police also found black powder, shotgun shells, pipes and putty.

On several occasions, also in 2007, Al-Homsi and a friend were seen conducting what appeared to be surveillance at Dallas Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. They were clad in traditional Muslim garb with camouflage pants underneath during at least one of the incidents.

Al- Homsi has also claimed a friendship with Wadih el Hage, a former Arlington resident and former personal secretary of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. He received a life sentence for his part in a bombing conspiracy.

In interviews with The Dallas Morning News and WFAA-TV (Channel 8) at the time, Al-Homsi said that she was being harassed because of stereotypes about her religion. She has denied having any links to terrorism.

Those stereotypes can be so cruel.  :whatever:
