AdvanceIndiana - Brother-In-Law Of Tony George Indicted By Israeli Officials For Plotting The Bombing Of Muslim Holy Sites

From the blog:

In a bizarre terrorist plot striking close to home, the 30-year old, younger half-brother of Laura George, wife of former Indianapolis Motor Speedway CEO Tony George, has been indicted by Israeli officials for plotting to blow up Muslim holy sites in Israel. Adam Livvix, formerly of Marshall, Illinois, reportedly took up residence in Palestinian-controlled cities on the West Bank after entering Israel on a tourist visa in March, 2013 according to the Jerusalem Post while on the run from U.S. authorities on drug-related charges. Livvix, who previously held no strong religious views during any time in his life growing up and living in the United States, allegedly began expressing negative views towards the Arab population living in Israel and his desire to cause harm to Islamic holy sites in Israel through the use of explosives.

It’s also claimed that Livvix had earlier turned down an offer to help assassinate President Barack Obama during a visit to Israel last year. “Livvix, who was allegedly offered sniper rifles to carry out the assassination, refused the offer, according to police,” the Post reported. That’s when he allegedly left the West Bank and entered Israel, whereupon he began passing himself off as a Navy SEAL. The Post says Livvix has confessed to committing a number of fraud-related crimes, as well as making initial terrorist preparations for an attack on Muslim holy sites. Israeli officials claim the investigation is being carried out jointly with the FBI.

Dude sounds like a total wacko.

I found this blog through a Indycar race forum. I used to be a big Indycar race fan until the “split” wars came about in the mid-90s and started to tear the sport up. The man responsible for the split and the downfall of the sport is one Tony George.

He screwed up the sport so bad his own family kicked him out of the job he was raised to take over when he came of age.

Yeah, I am still a pissed off fan. I no longer watch the races and have moved on. But this is a fun story as it pertains to Tony George’s wife’s brother.
