Houston TX: Jihadist Writings and Rocket Launcher Found in Apartment
Of course, the local police are saying that there are no terrorist ties… As if that is a pre-requisite or something for a Muzzie having an attack of Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
When will they ever learn? The formula is pretty easy to comprehend: Jihadist writings + rocket launcher + Religion of Peace + violent tendencies = Future Terrorist.
Rocket Launcher Found In Apartment

No Charges Filed
HOUSTON — Police went to a southwest Houston apartment to break up a disturbance but ended up finding something else, KPRC Local 2 reported Wednesday.
A woman called police on Monday and said a man was forcing his way into her apartment in the 5300 block of Elm Street.
When officers went inside, they found something that made them concerned enough to call the bomb squad.
They found an AT-4 shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. It can shoot a missile nearly 1,000 feet through buildings and tanks.
“It gives infantrymen the advantage with an ultra-light weapon that can stop vehicles, armored vehicles as well as main battle tanks and fortifications,” said Oscar Saldivar of Top Brass Military and Tactical on the North Freeway.
That type of rocket launcher has been used in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The renter of the apartment didn’t want to talk to KPRC Local 2.
[...]
The woman did tell police that the rocket launcher belonged to Nabilaye I. Yansane, someone whom she allowed to store items at her apartment.
Police records show that she didn’t want Yansane at her apartment, so she called them.
According to court documents, officers also found Jihadist writings that allegedly belonged to Yansane.
[...]
Yansane was charged with criminal trespassing and pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to three days in jail, which he has already served. No charges related to the rocket launcher or writings were filed.
[...]
Prosecutors said there are no state charges for having the unarmed launcher or possessing Jihadist writings, unless they contain some type of threat.
[...]
Houston police said they did a thorough investigation and did not find any ties to terrorists or a terrorist network.

Pretty sad when I have to find out a local jihadist was apprehended and allowed to walk… via this blog rather than having the story plastered on every news station in the area.
This apartment complex is less than 5 miles from me… and I did not hear a word until now. Did they let him go to use as bait to catch a larger fish? Or is this another case of complete incompetence?
Either way, it makes me a tad bit annoyed that the citizens in the area have not been notified for our own safety.

Well, if they let him go, where can I get my very own rocket launcher? ‘Course, it’s silly to have one without a rocket, but I’m game.
For any DHS lurkers, I’m kidding.

It was not a rocket launcher. It was an empty, expired AT-84 tube. Can’t be reloaded, can’t be turned back into a rocket launcher. Trash- can be purchased at any surplus store. Nice try on fear mongering by the press though! About as dangerous as a cardboard tube from an expired roll of paper towels.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Thanks for the update.

I found some interesting tidbits… Not saying he is a terrorist based on my searches, but cannot fault people for keeping their eyes open:
“YANSANE indicates a possible “connection” with the Al-Maghrib Institute in Houston, an Islamic center located less than 6 ½ miles from his home. According to two area residents, YANSANE might have some level of involvement with the Institute, participating in classes or events at that location within the past year.
If the al Maghrib Institute sounds familiar, it should. As we previously reported, the Al Maghrib Institute is the Islamic center that terrorist Umar Farouk Abdul-Mutallab, the Muslim terrorist who attempted to bomb Delta-Northwest flight 253 out of the sky on Christmas Day, attended in 2008
YANSANE was previously stationed at Camp LeJeune, North Carolina as part of the Second Marine Division, B Company. Serving within one of our most prestigious military installations should be commendable, unless, of course, the time spent, the lessons and tactics learned ultimately served a different purpose for which they were intended…
…We need to understand the level of infiltration that has been allowed to occur in all branches of our armed forces, intelligence agencies, and law enforcement under the guise of religious tolerance and political correctness. In many cases, our enemies are wearing our own uniforms.”
Just a bloggers POV… But, it never hurts to remain vigilant. It is only when one takes the facts and lets them fester, adding in paranoia, and acting out irrationally that we will have problems.
As for me, I will continue to dig, continue to watch… Hey, some of us have to watch over the herd of sheeples who believe the religion of peace will never mean to harm them. :/
