Uzbek man pleads guilty to plotting to kill Obama
I'd like to tell you what Religion Of Peace Kodirov is a radical member of, but that might breach his "ooman rites" so it might be best not to go there.A man from Uzbekistan living illegally in the United States pleaded guilty on Friday to terrorism and weapons charges involving a plot to kill US President Barack Obama. According to court evidence, defendant Ulugbek Kodirov believed he was acting on behalf of an Islamist militant group in his homeland and was plotting to shoot Obama while the president campaigned for re-election this year. Kodirov 22, pleaded guilty in US District Court in Birmingham, Alabama, to three charges as part of an agreement that spares him from a potential life sentence. He still faced up to 30 years in prison and $750,000 in fines for providing material support for terrorist activity, being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm and threatening to assassinate the president. Four other charges against him were dropped, and mainly involved additional threats to kill Obama. What about the charge of him being in the US illegally? US District Judge Abdul Kallon set sentencing for May 17. Kodirov came to the United States in 2009 to study medicine and his student visa was revoked in April 2010 after he failed to enroll in school, investigators said. Because you don't just come to the US to 'enroll' in medical school. You have to apply and be accepted, and it's not so easy. Didn't anyone at Immigration think this one out?
Kodirov was arrested in July at an Alabama motel where he had obtained a fully automatic machine gun and four hand grenades from an undercover agent. "He was attempting to obtain weapons and explosives that he intended to use to kill the President of the United States," Vance said. Posted by: tipper 2012-02-11 |
