Alleged Al-Qaeda Leader Arrested on Murder Charges

Phoenix, AZ -- Ali Yousef Ahmed Al-Nouri, 42, was arrested by federal law enforcement late this week on murder charges leveled by the Iraqi government.

Ahmed is an Iraqi national and terrorist leader who is "wanted to stand trial in Iraq for two charges of premeditated murder committed in 2006 in Al-Falujah,"  the Department of Justice said in a statement.

An Iraqi judge issued an arrest warrant for Ahmed and subsequently requested his extradition from the United States to stand trial and probably be executed in Iraq, if found guilty.

“According to the information provided by the Government of Iraq in support of its extradition request, Ahmed served as the leader of a group of Al-Qaeda terrorists in Al-Fallujah, Iraq, which planned operations targeting Iraqi police,” the DOJ explained. “Ahmed and other members of the Al-Qaeda group allegedly shot and killed a first lieutenant in the Fallujah Police Directorate and a police officer in the Fallujah Police Directorate, on or about June 1, 2006, and October 3, 2006, respectively.”

The DOJ noted that the decision to extradite him to Iraq will ultimately be made by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

The DOJ statement did not mention when or how Ahmed entered the United States but the smart money says he entered through Canada with the blessing of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Or perhaps another way.

It's becoming more obvious that the Trump administration is taking the threat of Islamic terrorism a lot more serious than his predecessor [who loves the sound of the Islamic call to prayer]. 

Trump's administration has removed terrorists: Cassem Soleimani, head of the Iranian Quds Force; Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, head of ISIS; Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, chairman of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and commander of Kata'ib Hezbollah; and eight others alongside Soleimani; and more recently, Qassim al-Rimi, the Qaeda leader in a Yemen airstrike, but still unconfirmed.

The New York Times reported. “If confirmed, his death [al-Rimi] could represent a significant blow to the Qaeda affiliate, which remains one of the most potent branches of the terrorist group. The Yemen branch, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, has tried to attack the United States and Europe and is thought to still want to.”

The Times stated that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) appears to have been the entity responsible for taking out al-Rimi as military officials said that they were not aware of any strikes. 

But the CIA isn't confirming nor denying.

U.S. Central Command: IS ops about to go full out

Manama, Bahrain -- U.S. Central Command chief General Kenneth McKenzie said that about 500 U.S. military personnel in east Syria are expected to resume operations against Islamic State terrorists in the coming days.

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi blew himself to smithereens last month to avoid having U.S. Special Forces do it for him, and the jihadi group has lost almost all of its territory in Syria. However, ISIS is still seen as a threat and must be destroyed like a rabid camel.

The Trump administration shocked U.S. allies last December by saying Washington was pulling out all its troops from Syria. But it subsequently said that it would keep a small force in the northeastern area and focus on preventing ISIS from making a violent comeback and attack the oilfields in the area.

“Now I’ve got about 500 U.S. personnel generally east of the Euphrates river east of Deir al Zor up to Hasaka, northeast all the way up into extreme northeast Syria,” McKenzie told reporters at the Manama Dialogue security summit in Bahrain.

“It is our intention to remain in that position working with our SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) partners to continue operations against ISIS down the Euphrates river valley where those targets present themselves,” he added.

While President Trump had previously announced that ISIS has been "a hundred percent" defeated, it seems that some of of their fighters had been hiding beneath rocks.

NY Times refuses to use the "T" word on al-Ata

The "Gray anti-Semitic" New York Times, a former newspaper, was okay with referring to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as a "terrorist," but they refrained from using that word to describe the "Palestinian" jihadi, aka terrorist, Bahu Abu al-Ata. [There is no such country as Palestine, thus the scare quotes.]

[H/T Jihad Watch]

You see, when Hamas or Islamic Jihad lobs rockets at Jewish civilians in Israel, they are not considered terrorists--they are 'freedom fighters' in the view of the former newspaper.

One can only wonder how the Times would have handled al-Ata's death if he committed similar atrocities as al-Baghdadi, perhaps videotaping similar barbaric behavior. But he merely planned the killing of civilian men, women and children and it wasn't on video, so the Times can pretend he wasn't a terrorist.

The first versions of the article was published in the early morning hours of November 12 after the terrorist was killed. The article at that time accurately noted Islamic Jihad’s terror designation — but that information was later scrubbed from the story. You'd think that Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) or Ilhan Omar (D-MN) wrote the story, but it was just another anti-Semitic crap weasel at the Times.

Like ISIS and Hamas, Islamic Jihad is designated worldwide as a terrorist group, including by the United States, the EU, Canada, Japan, as well as others.

Abu al-Ata was a senior leader of Islamic Jihad. 

His organization is responsible for countless attacks targeting civilians. Islamic Jihad has targeted Israeli restaurants, markets, buses, and shopping malls, causing mass casualties.  

Israeli intelligence learned that he was planning another such attack in the near future, which was why he was taken out before he could kill more innocent people.

He was clearly a terrorist and a piece of human waste. Good riddance!

US kills 150 ISIS jihaidis without breaking a sweat

While the government was in shutdown, the US still managed to kill 150 jihadi scum crumpets in Syria. That's like fighting these lunatics with one hand and a leg tied behind our back. Well, maybe not a leg, but you get the idea.

The sorties took place over eastern Syria on Saturday, while the U.S federal government was shut down. It targeted one of the last remaining s***holes of ISIS control along the Euphrates River bordering Syria and Iraq, according to U.S. Central Command, although my Trump-like characterization was not mentioned.

So far, ISIS has lost 98 percent of its territory. The 2 percent remaining includes a pocket around the Syrian city of Al-Shaafah where the strike took place. U.S. military officials believe that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of ISIS and a PhD in Islamic studies, is hiding in this area because he wants his pawns to die while he lives on.

U.S.-backed fighters in the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) "assisted in target observation prior to the strikes," an official statement read.

The U.S. fighter jets targeted an ISIS headquarters having a "heavy concentration" of scum crumpets, who were getting ready to leave the area, according to the statement. The leader of U.S. commandos in Syria and Iraq shows that ISIS is still not defeated.

ISIS continues to "mass large numbers in its attempt to retain a stronghold in Syria," the statement added. 

This should have happened years ago under Obama, but when you lead from behind, you tend to get behind in your results.
