Spain discovers 20,000 new Isis uniforms sent from Saudi Arabia

[Ichingcarpenter]

Spanish police have uncovered an alleged Islamic State supply network after seizing 20,000 new military uniforms destined for jihadist fighters in Syria.

Five tonnes of perfectly packed khaki uniforms were hidden under secondhand clothes in two supply containers at the port in Valencia, eastern Spain.

According to transit documents, the uniforms had been sent from Saudia Arabia to Spain, but their appearance suggested they had originated in a Nato country. A quantity of fertiliser, which can be used to make explosives, was also found at another location and seven men were arrested.

1. Funny how the same people are always involved in terror.

[gordianot]

2. ..and never held accountable.

[malaise]

7. True but I want the name of the NATO country as well

[Ichingcarpenter]

31. Liechtenstein is a NATO country

And so is Turkey. Notice they didn't say a member of the European Union which Turkey is not a member of? But said a NATO country?

That was telling.

Oh .......... and just one more thing

[Scuba]

3. Saudis again. What a shocker.

[ViseGrip]

33. U.S. citizens are being lied to once again. There is a reason the Saudi's are left

unaccountable. We're in on it. Get it? Hard to swallow, but just try, ok?

[AxionExcel]

4. These would be the same Saudis (R) who are being fingered as 9/11 perps?

[Hotler]

5. And a few seconds later...they kissed then held hands. n/t

8. The Saudi-Republican thingy is totally toxic to America - and America's soldiers

[HereSince1628]

9. These would be the same Saudis constantly confronting Iran

directly and via proxy wars

To get these arid wars understood you need to be a PhD marine biologist who can recognize the relationships of all the potential anemones.

14. Same ones former Sec Clinton was SO PLEASED about selling billions of arms/fighter jets to.

16. Shhh...

It's forbidden to talk of such things here.

6. So let's try to work this out.

They're manufactured in a NATO country. Let's say France, for no reason. Then shipped to Saudi Arabia, then shipped to Spain. From Spain they're supposed to go to Syria.

That really does look like they money to buy them is coming from Saudi Arabia. If they were purchased with ISIS funds more or less directly, there's no reason to cross the Mediterranean twice.

So you ship them to Saudi Arabia so that you can pay for them on the up & up, and not have anyone in France (or whatever country they originate from) know what's going on. Then you ship them to Spain as a way point, because shipping stuff from Saudi Arabia to Syria is a bit too obvious. From Spain they'd probably go to Turkey to get smuggled across the border.

But why include Saudi Arabia at all... unless Saudi money (or Saudi banking systems) are involved?

Yeah... something's rotten in the Kingdom of the Sauds.

12. Sounds to me like an inflation of size. ISIS wears uniforms?

Maybe ISIS does have uniforms, but I can't say that I've seen any footage of that.

Why all the shipping? Unless they wanted someone to find them = inflation of size. I ordered and pay for things all the time having them shipped directly somewhere else.

[MisterFred]

18. I've seen some footage of that.

But overall I'd say you're right. Not a total deception, but rather they've been doing a lot of more-or-less pointless things to adopt the appearance of a genuine state. Minting their own coins, for example. Waste of time, effort, and gold. But an attempt to adopt legitimacy.

10. isis used uniforms? who knew?

[AxionExcel]

13. Daily Mail knew, apparently

[allan01]

11. smoking gun, er volcano

time to get of petrol products. but s.a is our butt buddy. kick for exposure.

[L. Coyote]

15. "alleged"

[Botany]

17. Our good friends the Saudis

19. I've considered the Saudi's the main supporter of terrorists for 25 years.

Their government is chock full of loathsome totalitarians.

[summerschild]

20. I want to see

the f....kng 28 pages!

[muriel_volestrangler]

21. Murdoch's Times is now publishing month-old news

See eg http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/03/spain-seizes-20000-military-uniforms-bound-for-jihadist-fighters (and on most other outlets, including The Times' sister paper The Sun). So much for the British 'paper of record'.

[Ichingcarpenter]

22. So you think this news isn't important?

I didn't put this LBNs but put it
in GD............ considering the latest story on the 28 pages

[muriel_volestrangler]

23. Well, it was more than a story I'd read over a month ago was turning up

and being presented as new by the newspaper, not that you posted it.

[ffr]

24. We paid for them at the pump

Isn't that comforting to know that Saudi Arabia is at the root of so many of these evil causes. Kind of reminds me of the GOP's political message from the 1990s moving forward to today.

Be careful what you wish for House of Saud, we're seeing where this leads just by looking at the radicalization of today's GOP.

[Mary Mac]

30. has fracked oil replaced Saudi oil?

Nt.

[haikugal]

26. That one next to Condi is a real bad guy...I don't want anything to do with these people.

They were in on 9/11 and probably are actively using us and undermining us. The West must go...

They have long memories and laugh at Americans.

[haikugal]

29. Hmmmm...he's around, count on it.

[closeupready]

27. How surprising!

[EX500rider]

34. Personally I would let them go thru...

.....much easier to kill the right guys instead of civilians if they wear uniforms.
