— Ace Five Muslim men, Moroccan nationals, in their twenties arrested after breaking into a courthouse -- not far from where an intelligence conference was scheduled later.
KSAT, quoting sheriff's officers, reports that surveillance video showed the men walking into the building with an item in their hands, but they did not have it when they walked out.The officials tell KSAT that the RV contained several documents and proof the men had been traveling across the country for some time.
KENS TV quotes investigators as saying the men spoke French and had Moroccan passports. The sources said documents found inside their vehicle show that the men had allegedly been traveling around the country to high-level security facilities.
Here's something a little off:
That's their RV, apparently parked right outside the courthouse they broke into.
That's awfully conspicuous, isn't it?

They obviously thought they were attending a reach out meeting with NASA, but weren't aware that NASA was in Houston, not San Antonio.

Incredible. Even for him - incredible.
As for this story, Megan Kelly is just now reporting it a 'prank' as the guys were wearing sombreros and playing around w/gavels. Um, okay.

Last I checked San Antonio was near the bottom of the list of places terrorists would bother with.

According to reports in the DFW area this morning, the men entered the building from the roof at around 1:30 AM.
Nothing to see here, for sure. They're just misunderstood and were unemployed looking for food.

You're obviously not familiar with Texas.

It is suspected that they were intoxicated.
I think we just found out what Ace did on his vacation.

Traveling cross-country in an RV: not unusual
Five Moroccan Guys traveling cross-country in an RV: Kind of unusual
Five Moroccan Guys traveling cross country in an RV and visiting high -level security facilities: To quote Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, "Alarm bells are ringing, Willy."
Seriously, though, if they are wannabe terrorists, they're bone stupid about it. Could they possible drive a more conspicuous vehicle? Americans like traveling in comfort, but even we would have a tendency to look at an RV like that and say, "Sheesh, why not just buy a freaking bus?"
What about the guy on that Southwest flight in Texas who allegedly exclaimed, "You're all going to die, Allahu Ackbar!" What happened there?

Yankees in RV's infest TX every winter. We call them snowbirds, and they are very normal, not conspicuous at all.

Fire escape on one of the upper floors.
I hadn't seen the building, so I interpreted that as 'roof.'
My bad.

“You’re all going to die,” a man dressed in black screamed at passengers Tuesday afternoon. “You’re all going to hell. Allahu Akbar,” translated as God is great in Arabic.
This is the best part of the article, though.
The sister stayed in Amarillo overnight, Neufeld said. He said there was a language barrier for investigators attempting to interview Shahsavari, who is of Iranian descent. Shahsavari was born in Mississippi, Neufeld said.

Of course, the media will go haring off after this in a big way. The public are bored with the Occupy Wherever bunch, and if they can't come up with a new distraction someone might pipe up, "Hey, wasn't the Attorney General supposed to testify before Congress?"

It's not terribly unusual to see an RV in that part of town; exiting I-35 for the Alamo can wind you up there very easily. However, it is rather difficult to maneuver one there; most of the streets are single lane traffic, and some are one-way and/or narrow. That being said, parking one in that area is out of the ordinary.
Oh... I've lived in San Antonio for twenty-five years; my current apartment is about twelve miles northeast of the courthouse.

I listened to a few reports on the radio today as this came out: French Moroccan was what they were called on most reports I heard. At least they didn't call them "San Antonian Men" like they normally do for their complete Orwellian disinformation treatment. BTW, thanks to the moron who penned the O. D. words here a while back, it comes in handy to describe some news stories.
