Guantánamo Bay files: Casio wristwatch 'the sign of al-Qaida'Casio F-91W, a cheap digital watch sold around the world, was taken as evidence of detainees having bomb-making trainingJames Ball The Guardian, Monday 25 April 2011 Article history The Casio F-91W wristwatch, regarded by Guantánamo Bay interrogators as a sign of al-Qaida involvement. It is cheap, basic and widely available around the world. Yet the Casio F-91W digital watch was declared to be "the sign of al-Qaida" and a contributing factor to continued detention of prisoners by the analysts stationed at Guantánamo Bay. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/25/guantanamo-files-casio-wristwatch-alqaida As always follow the link to the original article in full Mugshot of the watch to watch out for. I have had a Casio G-Shock watch since they came out and others like the one in the picture before that but I can not remember a free bomb making course being part of the package? More details on this vital terrorist weapon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F91W The Casio_F91W is the AK47 of watches with millions of them proliferated around the world by unscrupulous international jewelry dealers. BBC NEWS article on this infamous bit of military tech! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13194733 Do we need to add this watch to ACE? Or should it be in Vanilla ArmA?

ricbar89 0 Posted April 26, 2011 Casio's are awesome. Small, light, sturdy, reliable and cheap enough that you dont have to care about breaking them. Perfect for taking out on exercise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minutemen 10 Posted April 27, 2011 UUUh, i'am getting scared. Al Quaida is everywhere. :rolleyes: Just if its secret does not mean its the truth. There was a lot of BS in the Wikileak files. You can make an bomb fuze by nearly everything. Egg Timers, Cellphones, you just need a source of energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted April 27, 2011 I haven't worn such a watch for years, but I do have at least one in a drawer somewhere. If I'm ever raided for any reason I suppose I can expect to be extraordinarily renditioned out of public existence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JdB 151 Posted April 27, 2011 I have that watch as well, though I haven't worn it in years. Where should I report for detention/deportation? :j: On the upside, that watch has more processing power than most politicians and public officials :bounce3: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dosenmais 10 Posted April 28, 2011 Does anyone remember when they told owners of Gunstores and Shops for Hunting supplies and Outdoor stuff, that they should look for lose fingers and scars on the hands of their customers? Maybee its an white al quaida bomb builder. What do you think how many woodcutters, hunters and farmers have scars on their hands... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneboys 0 Posted April 28, 2011 Lol ffs, been in the trade for years, I will have to check the stock tomorrow. IMHO, the biggest problem avec Casio is the blinking straps that are "troublesome". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted April 28, 2011 I have ordered 10 of them right now via Internizzle for me and my Brethren. We hold our traditional "terror camp" drinking beer into the may. The watches will show accomplished training inside the brotherhood in future... thanks for this valuable information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
