Failed bomber's family fail at getting our sympathy

The family members of failed New York City suicide bomber, Akayed Ullah, had a mouthpiece from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, speak to the media about how upset they are with the way law enforcement used heavy-handed tactics to deal with the family.

Social media didn't take too kindly to the New York-based terrorist affiliated organization and the family complaining about how law enforcement went about protecting the public from a possible follow-up attack.

The family of Akayed Ullah, the Bangladeshi jihadi accused of detonating a pipe bomb packed with screws and Christmas lights near Port Authority during the Monday morning rush hour. The family released a statement and a New York chapter of CAIR lawyer spoke for them. 

The statement disparaged law enforcement officials for "interrogating" family members after the terror attack. They would have preferred being left alone to raise their other children in the way of jihad, I suspect.

They said they were "heartbroken" by the violence, but their anger toward the American people covered their broken hearts quite well.

When a terrorist commits an act of terror, you interrogate everyone you can that you know is somehow involved with the jihadi. 

"We are heartbroken by the violence that was targeted at our city today, and by the allegations being made against a member of our family," the Islamist family statement, read by CAIR legal director Albert Fox Cahn said. "But we are also outraged by the behavior of the law enforcement officials who have held children as small as four years old out in the cold and who held a teenager out of high school classes to interrogate him without a lawyer, without his parents."

It's called smart interrogation, you schmuckle wart.

The high school kid was probably building an "electric clock" in shop class and the 4-year-old wasn't 'left out in the cold.' The child was taken to a safer place than the home in case of danger--probably a patrol car.

Ullah's pipe bomb was a piece of shabby work and it merely burned him--his abdomen and possibly his genitals, which would prevent the production of future jihadis from trying the same thing in the future.

Cahn's statement was sparked the social media outrage. Several people said the tone was "offensive" in the midst of an attempted terrorist attack that could have killed dozens of people if Ullah wasn't as incompetent as Hillary Clinton.

Ex-CIA analyst Buck Sexton mockingly tweeted:

"Sorry our son tried to blow up a lot of you on your way to work today, but the cops were kinda rude to us after that and we want answers."

Montel Williams tweeted:

"This moronic, offensive morally indefensible statement by CAIR lawyer @CahnLawNY just cost @CAIRNational my support. I'm done."

I never knew Montel supported CAIR--big mistake.

@SkipTerrio tweeted:

"The only thing the Ullah family should be saying is, 'We are profoundly sorry for unleashing a psychopath into your midst.'"

"I don't understand this . . . the guy tried to kill innocent people with no regard and the family is now upset at some inconveniences?? Would they have felt bad if there were "inconvenient" funerals! #usa this insanity has to stop."

It isn't insanity, it's religion. And I know that sounds politically incorrect, facts are not political.

William F. Sweeney, Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Office of the FBI, spoke at a news conference Tuesday and said the bureau was only conducting the necessary interviews to ensure safety.

"Our teams use appropriate, reasonable and lawful methods to accomplish these goals. But to be clear, our teams will move with speed and move with purpose," Sweeney said.

Ullah was ISIS-inspired and angry by U.S. policies on the Middle East when he orchestrated his attack, the criminal complaint said. He posted on his Facebook account that President Trump has "failed to protect" the nation. 

Guess he was wrong.

The ball-burnt bomber was charged with supporting an act of terrorism, making terroristic threats and criminal possession of a weapon.

Ullah entered the U.S. on a chain migration visa from Bangladesh. He lived in Brooklyn with his mother, sister and two brothers. It is unclear what his father's deal is, however. Attorney General Jeff Sessions called for an end to the chain migration visa program.

Abdul Ahad, Ullah's uncle (aka "Uncle Ahad"), Ullah's wife and her parents are being interrogated by officials from Bangladesh's Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime Department, according to Abdul Mannan, an official involved with the investigation.

Doesn't Ullah remind you of the "Christmas Ball Bomber"?
