Virginia man framed as Daesh affiliate, his lawyer says
[Iran Press TV] The lawyer of a Muslim American says his client was framed as a Daesh [Islamic State] affiliate by federal agents who target Muslim nationals by fake terror plots.
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! on Friday on charges of aiding and abetting terrorism. His attorney, Ashraf Nubani, believes, however, that the 25-year-old Virginia resident had been framed by informants working for the government. "They had three informants in this case that were looking for people to get in trouble," Nubani told reports on Tuesday, following the preliminary court hearing.
"They create cases, and then they prevent them from happening," Nubani said. One of the three informants, identified as CHS#3, was said to have been a convicted felon who received clemency in exchange for cooperation. CHS#1 was disguised as an "ISIL controller" and CHS#2 a trusted "brother" in the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terror group. According to Nuban, Elhassan comes from a "regular family," but was arrested because "some people are Islamophobic, and they're whipping up fear against Muslims." Elhassan, who has Sudani origins, was detained after driving 28-year-old Joseph Hassan Farrokh to the airport in Richmond, Virginia. According to a Saturday statement by the US Department of Justice, Farrokh's final destination was Syria, where he intended to join the Takfiri group. Posted by: Fred 2016-01-21 |
