A hardline Israeli newspaper is reporting on a US raid on a “Muslim meatpacking plant” near Chicago. No other media outlets that provide copy to the wire services are reporting on it apparently.

Approximately 100 armed federal agents, backed by a helicopter, 50 vehicles and sharpshooters, raided a Muslim meatpacking plant earlier this week but remain silent about the secret operation. Only half a dozen people work at the plant.

No one was arrested, but one eyewitness said the huge police force indicates that the raid may involve criminal activity other than hiring illegal immigrants. Terror-related activity has not been ruled, but officials have refused all comment on the case.

Chicago news sources said the plant’s owner, a resident of Chicago, was arrested at his home and that documents were seized from the plant.

The Muslim meatpacking plant is operated by First World Management in Kinsman, Illinois, where government workers involved in the raid did not explain why Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents joined immigration officers in the raid.

Several officers pulled their gun as agents surrounded an unidentified man in Middle Eastern garb. The plant processes and packs goat meat according to Muslim laws. A Muslim prayer room in the plant also was raided.

I find it interesting that an Israel newspaper that calls itself “The voice of the settlers” is doing original reporting on domestic events in the US.
