BREAKING: 6 Muslims Arrested in U.S. After Trying to Carry Out Disturbing Plot
Sunday, February 8th, 2015
Six radical Muslims were just indicted for attempting to support the so-called “Islamic State” terrorist group. However, they weren’t in Iraq or Syria, where the organization usually operates. The extremists were in the heartland of America.
Three of the suspected terrorist sympathizers were from St. Louis, Missouri, while two others resided in Illinois. The sixth Muslim lived in New York.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, they are all charged with supplying money and military equipment to terrorist groups, including ISIS and Al Qaeda.
The radicals “used some of the money to buy supplies including U.S. military uniforms, combat boots, military surplus gear, tactical gear, range finders and rifle scopes,” stated the Post-Dispatch report.
“They, and unnamed others, then sent more than $10,000 in cash and supplies to third parties in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere,” continued the newspaper.
All six individuals knew that the money and supplies were going to fighters “engaged in violent activities overseas, including conspiring to murder and maim persons,” according to the official indictment documents. (H/T: Gateway Pundit)
Social media played a major role in the plot. The alleged criminals relied on Facebook and email to communicate. PayPal and Western Union were apparently used to collect and send funds.
All of the individuals are reportedly Muslim, and none of them were born in the United States.
They are all immigrants from the country of Bosnia. Three of the terrorist supporters became naturalized U.S. citizens. The other three obtained residency visas to stay in the country.
“The indictment unsealed today epitomizes the FBI’s commitment to disrupting and holding accountable those who seek to provide material support to terrorists and terrorist organizations,” said FBI representative William Woods.
“This case underscores the clear need for continued vigilance in rooting out those who seek to join or aid terrorist groups that threaten our national security,” he continued.
While liberals like Barack Obama continue to turn a blind eye to the obvious threat from radical Islam, enemies of America are here inside the country.
The indictment of six supporters of Islamic terrorism should be a wake up call. Pretending that a problem doesn’t exist will not make it go away.
