Believe it or not, grenades are not allowed on airplanes in this country.

That fact was apparently discovered by someone Sunday as they tried to bring a grenade in their luggage at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.

FBI: Red Mountain High School Graduate Tried to Bomb Bank; Thought He Had Connection to Taliban

Categories: Blowin' Up Stuff

A graduate of Red Mountain High School in Mesa is accused of trying to bomb a bank in Oakland, California, but his purportedly Taliban-connected partner was an undercover FBI agent.

According to the FBI, 28-year-old Matthew Aaron Llaneza, now a resident of San Jose, California, wanted to make it look like the bombing was carried out by "an umbrella organization for a loose collection of anti-government militias and their sympathizers," according to the FBI.

Abdullatif Aldosary's prison mug.

Abdullatif Aldosary -- the Coolidge resident accused of detonating an "explosive device" outside the Social Security Administration building in Casa Grande a couple weeks ago -- pleaded not guilty today on two charges related to that bombing.

Aldosary, an Iraqi refugee, faces just one charge related to the actual bombing, and the other charge is related to unlawfully possessing guns.

Debbie Schlussel: Why Did Paul Gosar Do Nothing About "Known Terrorist" in District?

By Matthew Hendley Tue., Dec. 11 2012 at 11:38 AM

Congressman Paul Gosar's constituent Abdullatif Ali Aldosary.

Conservative political commentator Debbie Schlussel can sometimes wildly miss the mark on her points -- occasionally dabbling in conspiracy-theory-level stuff -- but she's got one hell of a question for Republican Congressman Paul Gosar.

If Gosar knew in 2011 that Abdullatif Aldosary was a "known terrorist" -- which, above all, is false -- why did Gosar not sound any alarms about a supposed terrorist living in his district until he allegedly bombed the Social Security Administration office in Casa Grande a year later?

Paul Gosar Thinks Abdullatif Aldosary, Alleged Bomber, Is a "Known Terrorist"; He Is Not

Categories: Blowin' Up Stuff

Abdullatif Ali Aldosary is NOT a "known terrorist."

Republican Congressman Paul Gosar wants Homeland Security officials to explain to him why Abdullatif Aldosary -- the Coolidge resident accused of detonating an "explosive device" outside the Social Security Administration building in Casa Grande last week -- has been allowed to stay in the United States.

"It appears to the Congressman that a known terrorist was allowed to travel freely in Arizona and was allegedly able to engage in terrorism more than a year after DHS had already determined he engaged in terrorism activity," Gosar's chief of staff Thomas Van Flein wrote in a letter to a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services official.

Abdullatif Ali Aldosary

A federal judge ordered Abdullatif Aldosary -- the Coolidge resident accused of detonating an "explosive device" outside the Social Security Administration building in Casa Grande Friday morning -- to be held without bond.

In the detention order, the magistrate judge says Aldosary there's no possible way that Aldosary could be released that would assure public safety.

Abdullatif Aldosary's prison mug from 2008.

There's not too much information out there about Abdullatif Aldosary, the Coolidge resident accused of detonating an "explosive device" outside the Social Security Administration building in Casa Grande Friday morning.

He's apparently an Iraqi refugee, he did a short stint in prison, and from what we can tell, he likes to share pornography with people -- people who have not liked looking at Aldosary's porn.

Abdullatif Aldosary Facing One Charge Related to Casa Grande Explosion

Abdullatif Aldosary, the Coolidge resident accused of detonating an "explosive device" outside the Social Security Administration building in Casa Grande Friday morning, was hit with two charges yesterday, although just one of those charges is related to the bombing.

The other charge is related to the guns and ammo being found in Aldosary's home after a search warrant was served, since Aldosary -- a convicted felon -- is prohibited from possessing firearms.

Abdullatif Aldosary's prison mug. He did time for "aggravated harassment."

Abdullatif Aldosary, a convicted felon who lives in Coolidge, is accused of being the person who detonated an "explosive device" outside the Social Security Administration building in Casa Grande Friday morning, November 30th.

Although a federal complaint doesn't accuse Aldosary of activity related to terrorism -- nor does it define any other possible motive -- the probable-cause affidavit was penned by an FBI agent in the Phoenix division's Joint Terrorism Task Force, and does include a few instances of the word
