Mubin Shaikh, the first witness to appear in the much publicized Toronto terrorism case, appeared poised and confident as he described an alleged conspirator showing him a gun loaded with “cop killer” bullets within hours of meeting them.Of course, Yasser Ara-splat is actually talkin' out his ass here.
“He takes out a round and shows me the hollowed out point and says "See these are cop killers,” he testified.
Mr. Shaikh said the conversation took place at a Nov. 27, 2005, banquet-hall rally for Muslim prisoners, which he attended after he was tasked with becoming a mole for security agencies.
Hollow-point bullets, which spread out on impact, are not designed to penetrate body-armour. They flatten out and transfer all their energy... to what is sometimes euphemistically referred to as... "soft targets"... for the layman, that's simple flesh & bone.
When people talk about "cop-killer" bullets... they actually mean a sharply pointed copper-jacketed slug... with a special teflon coating designed to slip through kevlar... in effect, the exact opposite of a hollow-point slug.
But don't try tellin that to ol' Yasser.
And never let it be said that Jihadis don't have a sense of humour...
"'He hugged me ... I feel something in his pocket,' the witness testified."Although it looks like these geniuses may need to do a little more work on the "undercover" aspect of the operation.
"I don't know if I said, ‘Brother are you happy to see me'?"
On Dec. 5, he said, the No. 2 ringleader picked him up to go shopping for guns on his behalf. Mr. Shaikh testified they visited three gun shops that day.**********
The suspect “was very excited because the first thing he asked was ‘hey do you sell any assault rifles here?,” Mr. Shaikh said.
He added the remark made the gun-shop owner “very nervous.”
