Released Gitmo jihadist tied to Istanbul airport attack

Yet another one is released and goes back out and kills. Thanks, Mr. Obama.

Former Gitmo detainee Ayrat Nasimovich Vakhitov was at the Guantanamo
detention camp from June 13, 2002 and transferred to Mother Russia in 2004 by the Bush administration. 

While at Gitmo, Ayrat was voted the "Inmate with the most punchable face." He was also designated a terrorist by our government.

It was learned that Ayrat (the 'y' is silent) is connected to last month's ISIS attack on the Istanbul airport that killed 45 and wounded over 230 others, which explains why he was designated a terrorist.

"For an individual to be designated a terrorist by our State Department, the threshold is way high," said Tony Shaffer, a former defense intelligence officer. "The Pentagon has been very reluctant to release a number of individuals and has had to bow to White House and State Department pressure," Shaffer added. He failed to mention the fact that those in the administration don't care what these guys do after release. 

In order not to look as if releasing terrorists is a bad idea, the State Department's announcement of the terrorist designation leaves out the part where Vakhitov was once held at Gitmo, in the hope that we won't think the other terrorists to be released will be a bother to us at all. The designation also forgot to mention that Vakhitov was tied to the Istanbul attack this past June.

Voice of America reported that Vakhitov was arrested along with 30 others in connection with the Istanbul airport bombing, but Turkish authorities did not confirm this.

Vakhitov was arrested and incarcerated in Kandahar "by the Taliban on suspicion of espionage." He was later released and transferred to Gitmo due to "his possible knowledge of an American citizen killed" at the same prison "while he was there."

Vakhitov is from Tatarstan, Russia and has fought in Syria. He is tied to Jaysh al-Muhajirin Wal Ansar, a global terrorist group.

Maybe it's time for the Obama administration to stop worrying about the political optics and keep Gitmo open.

The cat in the hat is caught

Like many followers of Sharia, the terror suspect goes by the name Mohamed. Like Shakespeare, there are many ways you can spell that name, but they all refer back to the same prophet of the so-called religion of peace.

Mohamed Abrini (aka: "The Cat in the Hat," aka: "The Scum in the Hat") admitted to being the man wanted in connection with the Brussels Airport bombing on March 22, says Belgian prosecutors. 

The airport attack killed 16 people who, unfortunately, were not members of the religion of peace.

Like his sweetheart, Salah Abdeslam, Mohamed Abrini got cold feet to match his cold heart, and did the chicken dance out of the airport away from the jihad. He is seen on video making book as fast as possible trying to look nonchalant.

Belgian authorities have been in a dither searching for the "cat in the hat" since he was first seen on airport video alongside the two suicide jihadists who blew themselves into bite size pieces. 

Abrini was arrested Friday in a police raid. 

In the past, police were only allowed to do their raids during normal working hours so as not to disturb Islamic prayer and the families, neighbors and friends of criminals. It is unclear exactly what time they raided the apartment Abrini was holed up in, but hopefully no prayers were interrupted and local imams will not complain of the noise.

According to the prosecutor's office, Abrini "confessed his presence at the crime scene," after he was questioned (gently) by investigators, who didn't want to hurt his feelings.

A second suspect, a Swedish national Osama Krayem, may have been another attacker at the Brussels metro station that took place simultaneously to the airport attack. Without naming others in custody, authorities said that three more were arrested from the raid.

Abrini was described by those who know him as "kind of quiet and very religious." They can't believe he would go "all jihad" on people.

Then what?
