We welcomed another ‘new American’ who wants to kill us!
Planned a knife attack at a local Dunkin’ Donuts!
And, what is up with Queens and Islamists?
See my post yesterday about two Muslim women in Queens planning attacks on their fellow Americans, now this “kid,” as his lawyer describes him, had similar plans.
Lawyer: “By all accounts he’s a kind, shy, caring young kid who’s living with his family.” https://nypost.com/2019/08/30/teen-who-plotted-isis-knife-attack-planned-to-escape-on-his-scooter-prosecutors/
You may have seen the story last Friday, but just in case!
Teen who plotted ‘ISIS knife attack’ planned to escape on his scooter: prosecutors
A reclusive, braces-wearing teen who lived behind a white picket fence with his devout Muslim family was secretly an ISIS sympathizer — and was plotting to launch a knife attack at a Dunkin’ Donuts and other targets near his Queens home, the feds alleged Friday.
Awais Chudhary, 19. I wonder, did he know the women who plead guilty last week in Queens?
His getaway vehicle of choice? A Razor scooter, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn say.
Awais Chudhary, 19, planned to strike at the Dunkin’ just blocks from his East Elmhurst home, and was also targeting pedestrian bridges over the Grand Central Parkway to the Flushing Bay Promenade and the World’s Fair Marina, prosecutors said in court papers.
Chudhary had texted back and forth with two undercover agents he believed were ISIS terrorists, sharing his attack plans and telling them that he’d pledged his allegiance to the terror organization, the feds said.
At one point, he allegedly sent one agent an ISIS diagram of the human body that he’d found online, showing where best to plunge a knife into a victim, the feds said.
He also allegedly asked for guidance on constructing a small “bucket bomb,” which he hoped to fling from an overpass onto vehicle traffic below.

Chudhary was arrested in Queens on Thursday as he tried to pick up items he’d ordered online for his attacks: a tactical knife, a mask and a special wearable strap to hold a cellphone he’d hoped to use to livestream the carnage, the feds said.
The wiry, bearded teen was ordered held without bail at his Brooklyn federal court arraignment Friday on charges of providing material support to a terrorist organization.
Unbelievable, his lawyer downplays his alleged attack plans by saying it was only a Dunkin Donuts he was targeting!
“This is not something where he’s masterminding something in the subway or Times Square. He’s looking at a Dunkin Donuts,” his court-appointed lawyer, Samuel Jacobson, argued in asking that bail be set at $100,000.
The plot was just a “fantasy,” the lawyer insisted.

“By all accounts he’s a kind, shy, caring young kid who’s living with his family.”
By the way, we don’t admit huge numbers of Pakistanis as refugees, so I always wonder how did we get so many. Which legal avenue are they accessing to get here in such large numbers?
There is a detailed recitation of the case against him, hereat the US Justice Department.
ISIS-Inspired Queens Women Plead Guilty to NYC Bomb Plot (Multi-Video)
At the federal courthouse in Brooklyn on Friday, Asia Siddiqui and Noelle Velentzas, both citizens of the United States and residents of Queens, pleaded guilty to teaching and distributing information pertaining to the making and use of an explosive, destructive device, and weapon of mass destruction, intending that it be used to commit a federal crime of violence.
Noelle Velentzas, 31, and Asia Siddiqui, 35 in court Friday
The guilty pleas were entered before United States District Court Judge Sterling Johnson Jr. When sentenced, the defendants face up to 20 years in prison.
“Inspired by radical Islam, Velentzas and Siddiqui researched and taught each other how to construct bombs to be used on American soil against law enforcement and military targets,” said Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers.
“They were thwarted by the excellent work of the agents, analysts and prosecutors who are responsible for this investigation and prosecution. For this, we are grateful.”

“Velentzas and Siddiqui were intent on waging violent jihad here in the United States, researching at length historical terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, educating themselves on how to turn propane tanks into explosive devices, and dreaming up plans to kill Americans on our own turf,” said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William F. Sweeney Jr. on Friday.

When the defendants were arrested, law enforcement officers seized propane gas tanks, soldering tools, car bomb instructions, jihadist literature, machetes and several knives from their residences.
The Minnesota man is a Somali presumably bringing cultural enrichment to rural Maine.
Over the years I’ve noticed the nexus between Minnesota and Maine as the Somali refugees migrate back and forth between two large Somali ‘communities.’
Remember this 2014 storyfrom RRW. It is just one example of many about the Minnesota/Maine linkage.
Police identify body found in Leeds, death now considered suspicious
LEEDS, Maine — The death of a man whose body was found along the side of the road in Leeds is now considered suspicious, according to Maine State Police.
Nadi Hagi-Mohamed, 31, of Minnesota, was identified by fingerprints and by a family member in Maine, police said.
Population 2, 324
A couple on their ATV found the man’s body along Bernie Hartford Road around 5 p.m. Saturday.
Hagi-Mohamed had recently relocated to the Lewiston-Auburn*** area from Minnesota, where he was arrested on cocaine charges in July. Detectives are now interviewing anyone who had contact with Hagi-Mohamed in the past few weeks, state police said.
An autopsy was completed Sunday by the state medical examiner, but the cause of death has not been released.

As loyal readers know, RRW, was removed from public view, apparently at the behest of the Speech Police, two months ago.
I am happy to report that my nearly 12 years of work has been saved (well most of it anyway!).
Visit RRW, here, where I explain what happened and is happening.
A longer explanation can be found by visiting my ‘About’page which gives a history of my involvement investigating the US Refugee Admissions Program and related issues beginning in 2007.
I will be publishing fresh material at the new Refugee Resettlement Watch, but alas there is no subscription feature, so please book mark the url and visit often! (If you visit every few days you will see the latest post titles in the right hand side bar.) I will make a point of mentioning the new material here at ‘Frauds and Crooks’ as well.
