Syrian Refugee Nabbed in Terror Plot

[bshole]

Do I trust America's screening process with regards to Syrian refugees? Not really.

Authorities said two people with ties to the Islamic State have been arrested on terrorism-related charges in California and Texas Thursday, including a refugee from Syria who is charged with lying to federal investigators about his travels to the civil war in that country.

Federal officials said 24-year-old Omar Faraj Al Hardan, a Palestinian born in Iraq, was arrested in Houston on Thursday. Meanwhile, a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday accuses a Sacramento man of traveling to Syria to fight alongside terrorist organizations and lying to investigators about it.

According to the federal indictment in Texas, Al Hardan has been charged with three counts alleging that he attempted to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization.

He is charged with one count each of attempting to provide material support to ISIS, procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and making false statements.

From what I've read the man from Sacramento was also Iraqi. Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab. He is alleged to have travelled to Syria to join the fight against Assad. There was no active terror plot within the U.S. that either are accused of being involved in.

the sacramento man is an iraqi, not a syrian.

And the case in Texas was under court seal as it was active but loose lips Governor Abbot and Lieutenant Dan Patrick blew the terrorism investigation wide open when they leaked details of the case, forcing the feds to wrap it up.


Great job, morons.
