BREAKING: Feds bust Taliban-tied Houstonians
by David Benzion · 11/28/2006 5:55 pmCourtesy the Houston Chronicle:
One of two Houston men accused of training to fight with the Taliban pleaded guilty this afternoon in federal court.
Kobie Diallo Williams, 33, a U.S. citizen who was a student at the University of Houston Downtown, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to assist a terrorist group. His help included withdrawing cash from an ATM to send to the Middle East.
Another man, Adnan Babar Mirza, 29, a Pakistani national who was in the country on an expired student visa, faces a similar conspiracy charges as well as three federal weapons violations. Mirza appeared today before a U.S. magistrate judge.
Mirza became illegal when his visa expired. Someone holding a student visa or in the country illegally is not allowed to have firearms.
In court, Williams admitted that he viewed coalition forces fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan as invaders. He had expressed a desire to travel to the Middle East to help the Taliban. Williams also admitted to handing over money that was supposed to help Taliban fighters and their families.
“We knew that you couldn’t get money to the Taliban,” Williams told U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein Jr., adding that he gave $350 to “a gentleman.”
“Adnan informed us that there was a hospital that most of the families go to,” Williams said.
“What families?,” Werlein asked.
“Widows and children,” Williams said.
To prepare as a fighter, Williams said he used various firearms at shooting ranges and campgrounds in Harris, Walker and Montgomery counties including at Sam Houston National Forest.
Williams, a thick-bearded man dressed in a white dress shirt and black slacks, told the judge that he was studying computer science with a minor in mathematics at UH after earning an associate’s degree in electrical engineering technology.

shake the tree - there’s bound to be more nearby
Expired visas? Yeah, and we want to give a guest worker status to a gazillion illegals. We can’t even keep up with child perverts or convicts on parole. /spits - ooops!
There are thousands more who have not been caught. Until the US declares a moritorium on visas to arab countries, this will only increase. Bush is behind all the muslim immigrants into these United States, just to please places like Saudia Arabia and Pakistan. When will it cease? When GWB is out of the office of POTUS.
Love your stuff. Great site. These two punks need to be hung up from the nearest tree. Once upon a time what they have done would be considered treason….
IN a related story, what do you think of your girl, her majesty Sheila Jackson Lee, when it comes to discrimination against muslims?
“Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, Texas Democrat, said the September 11 terrorist attacks “cannot be permitted to be used to justify racial profiling, harassment and discrimination of Muslim and Arab Americans.”
“Understandably, the imams felt profiled, humiliated, and discriminated against by their treatment,” she said.”

I agree!
I deplore Queen Sheila’s thoughts on muslim profiling! She is an idiot!
Welcome to our dysFUNctional family!
Catfish: Welcome aboard! Checked out your website and wowee!
‘redneck rants from the Great State of Texas?’
Can’t wait to pilfer through it!
For the record: Queen Sheila is not “my” girl!
You never know what you might do if in that situation but I think I would start talking to other men on the plane and think of taking action before it’s too late. I don’t know - every situation is different. Just don’t see myself standing by watching that kind of cr@p!
sorry for the link - not sure how that happened
#6 - i agree on all points
SJL should change her middle name to “Jackass”. She is as stupid as all the Muslims. She needs a one-way ticket with her passport taken away from her to Iran or one of those Muslim countries.
Good riddance.
But it’s a peacceefulll religion, that’s what our so-called ‘leaders’ tell us………I know all the sheeple feel so much safer now……..
2. I like to see when people link to things that are not even similar! Goes to show we are focusing on the wrong people! =)
