Somerset County investigators seized a cache of weapons including a grenade launcher and hundreds of rounds of ammunition today from the Branchburg motel room of a Virginia man, who also had maps of a U.S. military facility and an out-of-state civilian community.

[While I try not to cut'n'paste from other websites - I couldn't help with this story.  Kevin over at Cryptogon.com has mirrored my sentiments exactly with the two links at the bottom, aptly titled 'Flashback.'  As I was reading through this article, red flags kept going up and the entire scenario sounds suspicious.  This is strictly my opinion, but it sounds as though this former military man was about to be used as a patsy when local law enforcement got involved before anything could happen.  How many times have we seen this play out?  The following links spell it out in black and white. 

Not only do we get an underwear bomber on Christmas day which has already led us to full body 'nekkid scanners' in airports, but recently we heard from the long deceased Osama bin Laden in a freshly released audiotape from IntelCenter.   With all the fear mongering going on to not only avert our attention from the White House's failed policies, but to keep the sheep in check, it is no surprise that this man was about to be used as a "Middle Eastern Terrorist" patsy.  How many times have I said the next major "terrorist event" will be a Mumbai styled attack involving heavily armed men and pure, unadulterated bloodshed?  A .308 assault rifle, explosives and a .50 semi-auto rifle would leave haunting images in the minds of Americans for years.  It would be the DC Sniper x10 to the 4th power multiplied by Mumbai with a bit of Fort Hood added.]

Lloyd Woodson, 43, whose last known address was Reston, Va., today faces multiple offenses, including second-degree unlawful weapons possession and fourth-degree possession of prohibited weapons, Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest said.

At the time of his arrest, Woodson was wearing a military-style ballistic vest with a reinforced steel plate and carrying a .223-caliber assault rifle that had been altered to fire .50-caliber ammunition, Forrest. He was also carrying four loaded magazines with hollow-point ammunition, Forrest said.

Branchburg police confronted Woodson at 3:55 a.m. at the Quick Chek convenience store on Route 28 after receiving a call reporting a suspicious person. Branchburg Patorlman Steven Cronce noticed a large bulge beneath the green, military-style jacket that Woodson was wearing, which was later determined to be the assault rifle with a defaced serial number, Forrest said.

Woodson appeared “extremely nervous” as Cronce questioned him, and he ultimately ran from the convenience store toward the Regency Trailer Park on Route 22, Forrest. Officers found Woodson hiding in the bushes and he attempted to run, Forrest said.

Officers tackled him and used pepper spray to subdue Woodson, Forrest said.

Detectives later searched Woodson’s room at the Red Mill Inn on Route 22 and found weapons including a .308-caliber semi-automatic assault rifle with a defaced serial number, a grenade launcher, hundreds .50-caliber and .308-caliber rounds, a police scanner, and the maps of a U.S. military installation and an out-of-state civilian community, Forrest said. Woodson, who is a Navy veteran, had been staying at the hotel since last week.

Investigators also found Middle Eastern red and white traditional headdress, Forrest said.

Calls placed to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in Washington D.C. and the FBI’s Newark office late this afternoon were not immediately returned.

The investigation is ongoing, Forrest said. Anyone with information is asked to call Branchburg police at (908) 526-3830, the prosecutor’s office at (908) 231-7100 or Crime Stoppers of Somerset County at (888) 577-TIPS (8477).

Update: FBI Finds no Terrorism Link to Virginia Man with Weapons Cache in N.J. Motel Room

The FBI said a man charged with multiple weapons offenses after a cache of weapons and maps of a military facility were found in his New Jersey motel room has no known terrorism link.

[Hayden's Note: Of course the FBI says the man has no ties to 'terrorism' - their plot failed.  They don't want to show their cards after the flop.  They'll just try it again with another patsy.]

Special Agent Bryan Travers said the FBI was asked to investigate after Lloyd Woodson of Reston, Va. was arrested early Monday. The arrest came after a report that the 43-year-old was acting suspiciously in a convenience store before dawn in Branchburg.

Prosecutors said he was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a semiautomatic rifle. Authorities found a cache of weapons in his motel room, including rifles, a grenade launcher and a night vision scope. They said he also had maps of a U.S. military facility and a town outside New Jersey.

Woodson is expected to be arraigned today.
