The Washington Times serves up a nice, juicy slab of red meat to conservatives today with an exposé of an Islamist plot to attack the US through Mexico. According to Sara Carter, Fort Huachuca had to change its security procedures after determining that radical Islamists had forges an alliance with Mexican drug cartels to attack it. The US has detained Afghans and Iraqis in Texas after detaining them in connection to the plot:
Fort Huachuca, the nation’s largest intelligence-training center, changed security measures in May after being warned that Islamist terrorists, with the aid of Mexican drug cartels, were planning an attack on the facility.Fort officials changed security measures after sources warned that possibly 60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists were to be smuggled into the U.S. through underground tunnels with high-powered weapons to attack the Arizona Army base, according to multiple confidential law enforcement documents obtained by The Washington Times.
“A portion of the operatives were in the United States, with the remainder not yet in the United States,” according to one of the documents, an FBI advisory that was distributed to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the CIA, Customs and Border Protection and the Justice Department, among several other law enforcement agencies throughout the nation. “The Afghanis and Iraqis shaved their beards so as not to appear to be Middle Easterners.”
Sixty foreign fighters wanted to attack Fort Huachuca? It would make a tempting target for both drug cartels and Islamist radicals to be sure. It houses the US Army Intelligence Center and provides training for military intelligence units. The NCOA also trains the backbone of the Army — its non-commissioned officers. An attack on this base would make headlines around the world.

I don’t know if I’m the only person that thinks this way, but it seems like the war on terror is successful when the terrorists are no longer targeting civilians. The fact that they are trying to attack our trained military (who would undoubtedly win a fire fight on our home soil) looks like a good sign. A better sign is that they were not even able to fire the first shot.
Also, did the terrorists take this from the Red Dawn play-book?
