One Stop terrorist shopping center found in Fallujah

US Soldier think they have found Abu Musab Zarqawi's headquarter in Fallujah. They even had a SUV packed with explosives with Texas registration. Red Cross first aid supplies have been found in the house. Repair shop include place to repair 8 inch shells that could be used on battleships and bomb making facilities.


Hopefully finding all these supplies will help slow this guy down some. Once again it looks like medical supplies meant for the common Iraqi are being diverted from the civilian population for use on the insurgents.

It is kind of scary that they found a vehicle from Texas in the car bomb shop. Makes me wonder if they were going to try and re-import it to the US. I would imagine you can pack a whole lot of explosives in a Ford Explorer.

Hmmm Oil for Zarqawi? Where the U.N.?

On a serious not, they found a bunch of computers. it will beintersting to see if those come to anything. I mean it would have been negligent for them to leave any data on them, but the FBI seems pretty good at mining that kind of stuff for data

Are these supplies still residue from the American Taliban funding?

Only one true way to erase a HD is to detroy it. Im sure there is stuff still there if the HD's are intact.

It actually was not a vehicle from Texas, it was a vehicle with a Texas Department of Transportation sticker on it, which can be duplicated with the proper equipment.

"They also found a truck inside the compound, with an American vehicle registration sticker reading Texas Department of Transportation."
www.msnbc.msn.com...

Does raise the question though of what they intended to do with the vehicle....seems like a big pain in the behind to ship it back..seems easier to steal a car/suv/truck in the US.

what hogwash. Allegedly, there was a sign up front saying "Al Qaida Organization" What's next? a Visa/Mastercard sticker? This is absolutely ridiculous. Why would a secretive, non-hierarchical organization like AQ have suddenly changed an M.O of untraceability that was working well for them?

Add to this that we don't know jack about Zarqawi. We don't even know how many legs the fellow has, much less of his involvement in Iraq. Financial Times has called him 'The American Insurgent' because every tale about him emerges from American sources.

This sounds incredibly fishy to me. Wish I knew what the purpose behind this? Are they trying to set a trap, somehow? For whom?

I thought the One Stop terrorist shopping centers were called Mosques.

That�s the equivalence of saying you thought the one stop shop for KKK members were Churches.
