| 2011-06-01 |
| Waad Ramadan Alwan, 30, and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 23, of Bowling Green, KY, are accused of conspiring to send Stinger missiles, cash, sniper rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers from the United States to al Qaeda and other jihadists in Iraq. They were snagged in an elaborate sting orchestrated by the FBI. Both were admitted to the USA on the basis of refugee status. Hammadi entered the US in July 2009. Alwan is also charged with conspiring to kill US troops in Iraq by using IED's. Alwan's fingerprints were found on an unexploded IED in Iraq. Alwan demonstrated workable knowledge of IED construction to a secret FBI informant. US attorney David Hale said the charges were not against any "particular religious community or religion." Allahu Akbhar! Tell us another one, David Hale. |

Do go read the whole thing. Ay Pee adds: FBI Director Robert Mueller said in February that his agency was taking a fresh look at Iraqi nationals in the U.S. who had ties to al Qaeda's offshoot in Iraq. The group had not previously been considered a threat in the U.S.. |

| #1 US attorney David Hale said the charges were not against any "particular religious community or religion." So true. The charges are against those who would employ violence to achieve their purpose. Let them join those attempting the soft jihad of lawfare*, having accepted that the hard jihad of the sword is no longer permitted. * Later let them discover that lawfare also will not bring them the caliphate in America** but one step at a time. **I have faith that in the end they will not win, although it may be uncomfortable for all involved for a bit in the meantime. |
