FBI surrounds house of student following sightings of him w/ pressure cooker

[green73]

A Saudi student living in Michigan was questioned in his home by FBI agents after neighbours saw him carrying a pressure cooker and called the police.

Talal al Rouki had been cooking a traditional Saudi Arabian rice dish called kabsah and was carrying it to a friend's house.

According to reports in a Saudi newspaper on Friday, the FBI are increasingly vigilant about 'pressure cooker' home-made bombs after the Boston bombers used one to make an explosive.

The Saudi journal, Oukaz reported on the story of the Saudi student who had FBI agents come to his home, following a tip-off from neighbours that he was seen moving about with a pressure cooker bomb.

While armed agents surrounded his apartment block, other agents, asked a 'nervous' Mr al Rouki if they could come in to question him.

'They asked me about my major, when I arrived in the US and what I do in my spare time' he told the Saudi newspaper.

Officers said that two days earlier that a woman had seen him walking out of his apartment carrying the pressure cooker pot, which was described as ‘bullet coloured’.

The young student showed them his pressure cooker and explained to them he used to make a rice dish.

An FBI agent said: 'You need to be more careful moving around with such things, Sir'

Mr al Rouki has become a focus of attention now in the Saudi press.

According to reports in a Saudi newspaper, the FBI are increasingly vigilant about ‘pressure cooker’ home-made bombs and have a keen eye on Arabs who reside in the US.

me and my bearded brother had the cops called on us in 2008-ish while doing field work for verizon. we were taking measurements of the right of way, not on any private property etc. cops told us that you never know today, anyone could be an OK city bomber..

right.

People have literally lost their minds. Did it ever occur to them that if the 1/billion chance occurred and the rice cooker was actually a real bomb that the terrorist would not carry it around without concealment? I wonder what would happen if someone shot a youtube video of an Arab going to buy pressure cookers from every store in the city. Whats the chance the guy is thrown into an fbi prison within a few hours?

Beards and pressure-cookers are indigenous to the Ozarks....

Boogity-boogity

 

[PaulConventionWV]

Wow I never thought they would actually make a big deal out of pressure cookers. I thought it would always be a joke, but apparently now we're paranoid because some foreigner was holding a pressure cooker. What mad witch hunt this is.

Also, "bullet-colored"??? Freaking serious? Somebody please tell me this is satire.
