Muslim American Who Plotted Violent Jihad Against US Troops is Convicted


And it was just another fluke that this particular miscreant, hell bent on committing mass murder, was again an Islamist.  So there’s still no reason for the TSA to ever profile individuals such as this, that would just be silly and ‘Islamophobic’, even if they really do want to kill you …

“NEW YORK — A New York man who plotted violent jihad against US forces in the Middle East and the Balkans was convicted Thursday of conspiracy to commit murder and other charges, federal prosecutors here said.

Betim Kaziu was tried in a federal court trial in Brooklyn, where the charges against him included plotting to commit murder overseas and attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, the US justice department said in a statement.

He was also convicted of conspiring to provide material support to terrorism and conspiring to use a machine gun to commit those crimes.

Prosecutors said that Kaziu, 23, traveled from New York to Cairo in February 2009 to wage jihad against US troops in the Middle East and the Balkans.

In Egypt, the defendant attempted to acquire automatic weapons and to travel to Somalia to join the radical Somali al-Shebab network, US authorities said.” Read more.
