Somali refugee is FBI most wanted terrorist; but what took the FBI so long to tell us?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Liban Haji Mohamed left the country that had given him the ‘good life’ to join the jihadists in Somalia in 2012.   Why are we just hearing about this now?

I’ve been away to speak about the Refugee Resettlement Program of the UN/US State Department and heard this news in my travels.  I’m glad to see that Leo Hohmann at World Net Daily was on the story yesterday.

From World Net Daily:

A Somali-American man who came to the United States as a refugee is now the FBI’s newest “Most Wanted Terrorist” after leaving for Somalia, and a former congresswoman is asking why a bill to prevent American jihadists from re-entering the country has not been acted upon.

Liban Haji Mohamed was driving a cab in the Washington DC area before leaving for jihad training in Africa.

Liban Haji Mohamed, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Somalia, is charged with providing material support and resources to both al-Qaida and al-Shabab, a Somalia-based terrorist organization. He is considered particularly dangerous because he worked to recruit other U.S. terrorists for al-Qaida and al-Shabab, the FBI said.

The Somali community in the United States numbers more than 110,000, with large populations in cities such as Minneapolis, Minnesota, Lewiston, Maine, San Diego, California, and Columbus, Ohio, among others where they have been resettled through the United Nations refugee program.

Mohamed, 29, lived in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C., and worked as a cab driver in the northern Virginia suburbs, the FBI said. He left the country on or about July 5, 2012, to join the ranks of al-Shabab’s jihadist fighters in Somali, according to a statement posted Jan. 29 on the FBI’s website.

Regarding that 110,000 number of Somalis in the US.  We expect the total number to be way above that.  110,000 is about how many the US State Department has admitted to the US in the last 3 decades (see our numbers here).   They are now coming to America and being distributed to your towns and cities at the rate of 9,000 plus a year.  In fact, just checking the numbers, we have admitted 2,801 Somalis into the US in only the first three months of FY2015.  If that rate continues we will be over 11,000 new Somalis this year!

Former Rep. Michele Bachmann (who I had the pleasure of meeting this weekend) told WND that the wannabe Jihadists are not stripped of their US passports!

Mohamed is traveling with a U.S. passport, which means he could try to re-enter the country at any time. His passport does not expire until May 20, 2018.

Former Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., introduced legislation last year to revoke the citizenship of any American caught leaving the country to fight for a foreign terrorist organization.

Bachmann’s bill was not even granted a hearing by House Republican leaders. Sen Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduced a companion bill in the Senate, which was also ignored.

“I verified with U.S. law enforcement that the U.S. government does not necessarily prevent a known terrorist with a U.S. passport from re-entering the US after they have either supplied material support for terrorism or committed acts of terror themselves,” Bachmann told WND.

“Our refugee policy was introduced by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy and was supported by Vice President Biden while serving in the Senate,” she said. “In my view, this madness is indicative of a nation that has lost the will to survive.”

What took the FBI so long?  Sounds to me like Mohamed has had plenty of time in the last two years to be debriefed by the terrorists who want to know details about the Washington, DC area!

A federal warrant for Mohamed’s arrest was unsealed Jan. 29 by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Virginia. Besides adding Mohamed to the terrorist list and offering a reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction, the FBI is also publicizing the case on social media channels in Somalia and elsewhere to encourage people to come forward with information about the dangerous fugitive.

“It is important for us to locate Mohamed because he has knowledge of the Washington, D.C., area’s infrastructure such as shopping areas, Metro, airports and government buildings,” Ghattas explained. “This makes him an asset to his terrorist associates who might plot attacks on U.S. soil.”

Are all Africans xenophobes, or do they just want to live with their own kind of people?

Protestors run after soldiers open fire on January 20th in Kinshasa. 40 were killed. AFP photo.

 

 

Yesterday I mentioned the latest African black on other African black crime and discrimination. Today there is a story at the Mail & Guardian Africa which lays out other, what some would call “xenophobic” or “racist,” unhappiness with “foreigners” in Africa.

I find this so amusing (sort of!) that we are expected to welcome the new African refugees to America and accept them into our communities without question (with no demands that they accept our heritage, history and culture), yet they, in their own country resent “foreigners” who prefer to keep their own culture and language.  And, I am sure this same attitude, as this one described in DR Congo, can be found (and largely accepted) the world over.

From Mail & Guardian Africa:

THE last week has been a bad time to be a foreigner in some parts of Africa. Clashes between Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) police and political protestors that left some 40 people dead last week also revealed the level of hostility towards the Chinese in the capital Kinshasa.

[…..]

The Kinshasa residents also resent what they see as the Chinese preference for sticking together in segregated communities, retaining the customs, habits, and language in their native land. The same sentiments are played out in other African countries not just with the Chinese, but Indians, Somalis, and Lebanese.

Read it all!

By the way, for readers who don’t know, we are in the early stages of resettling 50,000 or so “refugees” from DR Congo to your towns and cities.   We have resettled a whopping 1,390 from DR Congo in the first three months of FY2015!  (Don’t ask me why the State Department has not colored the map of DR Congo, but the numbers may be found in the list that follows the map.)

Editor:  I’m trying something new, not writing such long posts (but maybe more of them), what do you think?

Malta Independent: Europe ‘seriously underestimating possibility of IS militants infiltrating Italy or Malta’

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

No surprise….

At Davos, former Libyan finance minister warns that IS fighters may be in the refugee flow to Europe.

  News from Davos! at the Malta Independent:

 

“Islamic State militants have taken over practically the whole area from where migrant crossings are launched and are effectively running the whole show, a prominent Libyan politician has warned.

Speaking to Italian journalists during the Davos World Economic Forum, former Libyan Finance Minister Ali Tarhouni, who now serves as President of the Constituent Assembly of Libya, warned that the EU is underestimating the risk of IS militants infiltrating Europe’s shores hidden among refugees.”

Read on, there is much more.

 

Remember readers!  The US State Department each year takes hundreds of the illegal alien boat people who arrive on Malta from Libya and other places in North Africa to the US as refugees.  See the latest here.  See our entire seven-year-old Malta archive here.

Editor:  The Malta Independent must be having some issues, be persistent, the link will eventually work!

New massive refugee “crisis” developing in Africa; will it ultimately surpass the Syrian humanitarian “crisis?”

Islamic supremacists of Boko Haram kill their way across Nigeria. Why isn’t Obama droning this terrorist? http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/01/nigeria-islamic-jihadists-overwhelm-troops-seize-military-base

Watch for it (we sure will)—the drum roll from the humanitarian industrial complex that we need to begin resettling Nigerians in a big way.

Have you noticed a trend in who is creating refugees around the world?  Don’t you wonder why Obama can’t see it?

From International Business Times:

Boko Haram’s ransacking of villages in northeastern Nigeria during the past three weeks has caused a massive displacement of citizens who are now spilling over the borders of two neighboring countries, with the area quickly becoming the locus of one of the world’s biggest humanitarian crises. Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon are pooling military resources to fight the Islamist militant group, but their efforts have failed to stop the mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of people who are now seeking humanitarian assistance.

Read it all.

Nigeria is not presently a country from which we take refugees!

Here is a thought, maybe the Rainbow Nation would welcome their fellow Africans?

South Africa: Two dead as more “xenophobia” arises in the Rainbow Nation

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

“Each of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld – a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world.”

Nelson Mandela (1996)

For our South African readers it must be ho-hum what have we been trying to tell the world—the welcoming “rainbow nation” meme is a lie!

Black South Africans aren’t even happy with their fellow African blacks, like the Somalis.  Haven’t we been told for 20 years (more!) that it’s the white people who are evil racists in South Africa?  When it’s black hatred for other blacks, it has to have a new label—xenophobia.

Looters lined up in the Rainbow Nation—a picture is worth a thousand words.

What are the odds that this story will ever see the light of day in the western press which has for so long helped keep the Mandela mythology alive.

From GeoTV:

JOHANNESBURG: South African police said Thursday they arrested 68 people after mobs went on a looting spree of grocery stores owned by foreign nationals, including Pakistanis, in Johannesburg´s Soweto township.

The violence erupted after a foreign shopkeeper shot dead a teenager who had tried to rob him on Monday night.

“Young boys wanted to rob a shop and the owner opened fire and killed one of them,” police spokesman Kay Makhubela told AFP. “That made the community angry, and that´s what started all this.”

At least 80 shops, most of them owned by Somalis and Pakistanis, have been looted over the past three days, the police said.

A second person was killed on Wednesday night, and police said they were still investigating the circumstances.

Amid widespread poverty and unemployment, frustration in Johannesburg´s run-down neighbourhoods often boils over into anti-immigrant violence.

In 2008, deadly xenophobic violence broke out around Johannesburg townships, killing 62 people.

So who are all the “South Africans” we are bringing to America as refugees—I bet these aren’t the targeted white people!  Targeted Somalis I assume!

Who are the 496 “refugees” we have brought out of the multicultural oasis of South Africa in the first three months of Fiscal year 2015?
