Police Find IED and Iraqi Cash in Stolen Car in New Mexico
KOB:
Contradictory statements: “The FBI has ruled out terrorism” and “We have no idea what they were planning on doing with any of this.” - You’re tax dollars at work.
The FBI is now involved in the theft of a car after it was found in Los Lunas with an explosive device and Iraqi currency inside
FBI agents say that they have ruled out terrorism.
The car was reported stolen last week. After the theft, the car’s owner was fueling his motorcycle when he spotted his stolen car.
“While he was refueling his motorcycle, low and behold, the vehicle that he had reported stolen that belongs to him happened to pull into the gas station area also,” said Los Lunas Police Captain Charles Nuanes.
The car’s owner pulled the keys out of the ignition of his stolen car and the people in the car fled.
When police arrived, they found the explosive device and less than $1,000 worth of Iraqi cash.
“We don’t know what their intentions were,” said Nuanes. “We don’t know what they were planning on doing with any of this.”
Police suspect Toby Jaramillo, who is well known to Valencia County law enforcement, was behind the car’s theft. He’s in jail charged with stealing another car.

OK Pat, I ask for the jillionth time. Why not SAY IT!
If our government can fight no better FOR us than this, we are well and truly fucked.
April 18th, 2008 at 8:07 ammove along folks, there is nothing to see here.
April 18th, 2008 at 8:14 amHmmm: “explosive device in a car”, “Iraqi cash”; yeah, right, move along, folks, don’t believe anything you see here, it’s just a weather balloon, nothing to get excited about. Get real, Steve.
April 18th, 2008 at 8:23 am[…] a stolen car that was actually found by its […]
April 18th, 2008 at 8:38 am“We don’t know what their intentions were”.
Are you kidding? What else are you going to do with an IED, use it as a fucking ashtray?
I got a call yesterday at my job from a TSA agent at the airport wanting to confirm that two “Middle Eastern” men(who had one way tickets to Detroit) had acutally done some install work for our company that day (which they did). If the TSA can spot a possible threat, what does that say about the FBI?

April 18th, 2008 at 9:10 amWe are armed American Patriots my friend, we are never fucked. Its just a matter of time, when we decide as a people, when enough is enough and we stand up to defend this country ourselves against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
We need troops on the border now! Maybe if they had left copies of their entire plan, it could be considered terrorists. The DHS needs to realize the American public is on their side and old enough to be told the truth. We may even be actually able to help them if they would just ask…
April 18th, 2008 at 9:37 amI cannot fucking believe those pricks couldn’t put two and two together. Arabs and explosives. What in the hell did you think they were going to do with the explosives?! Go coal mining?! Pure incompetence
April 18th, 2008 at 9:49 amRuled out terrorism? What are they fucking nuts? They think the American public is that dumb?
April 18th, 2008 at 10:14 amTwo reason why “terrorism” may have been “ruled out”. The MSM can not allow the Bush admin. to be right that is can and will come here. It will also make the Democraps look bad if they end up proving they cross the border that the democraps keep fighting to keep open. The MSM will do anything to protect the dems. I am wondering if that statement was twisted or taken out of context some how. Would not surprise me at all.
Oh then there is the possibility that the FBI know more than they are saying so they can follow the trail without the MSM tipping off the idiots cause we all know the MSM doesn’t give a shit about secret and security if the think it’s a story. Ratings ratings ratings who cares how many lives it puts in harms way.
April 18th, 2008 at 10:37 amMax, read between the lines, man…
April 18th, 2008 at 10:39 amMaybe it was performance art. We need to know if the guys were from an ivy league fine arts program!
April 18th, 2008 at 10:41 amPay no attention to the organization behind the curtain. Move along little doggie.
April 18th, 2008 at 10:49 amI think ang has something here…

Makes sense.
April 18th, 2008 at 12:47 pmLos Lunas!?!
Just a little too close to Los Alamos National Laboratory. And way too close to Sandia National Laboratory. I’ll guarantee there are some government security folk pissing their pants over this.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:37 pmI hope some government security folk are pissing their pants over it; the FBI sure isn’t.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:25 pmI”m sure Governor Bill Richardson told them to rule out terrorism.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:52 pmruled out errorrism is code for “yep its terrorism but we dont want to worry anyone so close to an election”.
April 18th, 2008 at 3:07 pmThat’s just a normal day in New Mexico. My friend usually drives around with at least2 IEDs in his trunk and about half a mill. But he is no, terrorist, just leisurely activity.
April 18th, 2008 at 3:33 pmWait a minute… a stolen car had the keys in the ignition? Most stolen cars are running with a broken lock mechanism and a screwdriver acting as the key… something stinks.
