Port Of Spain - The four suspects in an alleged terror plot to bomb a New York airport were set up in an elaborate plan by the US Republican party to retain hold of the White House, the daughter of an arrested suspect claimed on Tuesday.
Huda Ibrahiim, daughter of Amir Kareem Ibrahiim, one of four men accused of plotting acts of terrorism against the United States, said US justice officials had engaged in entrapment in breaking up the alleged plot.
Huda, 20, speaking on behalf of the Trinidad and Tobago and the Guyanese Shi'ite Muslim community, read from a prepared statement in a press conference at a hotel in Port Of Spain.
She said the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) informant key to breaking up the alleged plot had presented himself as an Islamic missionary from the United States while visiting the homes of Abdul Kadir and Amir Ibrahiim.
The FBI's informant, whom she called "the source", "is the only person culpable of any of the activities mentioned in the complaint.
Intent to entrap
"The source visited our brothers with the specific intent to entrap them in activities they know nothing about, never agreed to and did not participate in," said Huda.
Her 62-year-old father, 56-year-old former Guyanese parliamentarian Abdul Kadir, along with Russell De Freitas and Abdel Nur, both of Guyanese heritage, allegedly plotted to blow up fuel-tank pipelines at New York City's John F Kennedy International Airport.
Ibrahiim, a Trinidadian, and Kadir appeared in Trinidad court on Monday while Nur gave himself up to local authorities on Tuesday. All three men are facing extradition to the US where De Frietas has already been arraigned.
"We believe that the persons responsible for the arrest of our brothers are doing it for a purpose other than the protection of the people and interests of the USA," Huda said.
"They have apparently done so in the interest of shoring up a lame duck presidency and increasing the lame chances of the Republican party being returned to power in November 2008", said Huda, whose father is a retired government accounts clerk.
'Sure of their innocence'
She also said her father was afraid to fly, was not computer literate and does not use the internet.
"We are absolutely sure of their innocence. Neither of these men and we believe no one in our community participates in activities as those alleged in the public statements or in the filed complaint of the Department of Justice", she said.
As believers in Islamic Sharia, they followed the cardinal principles of the Koran, she said, including the principle that the blood of civilians is sacred.
"To our Muslim brothers and sisters we swear by Allah, the Lord of Muhammad, that we have not participated in any terrorist plot against the United States," she added.
You have GOT to be kidding me. They're really trying to go there?
Such outrageous proclamations of innocence by the family makes them guilty of conspiracy.
Let’s hope the plan works.
That's a big claim for a Muslim woman- she thinks she speaks on behalf of the islands of Trinidad and Tobago? Since when? She thinks she speaks on behalf of the entire Guyanese Shiite community? When did they elect her? She appears to have a bad case of Jesse Jackson inflato-ego disease.
The US Republican Party is not capable of planning.
O'Reilly pounded that point Monday night. I also see PMSNBC is going hard after Mr. O, led by Joe Scarborough. Both viewers of PMSNBC were split 60-40 on their feelings.
Wait, wait. Don't tell me. I wanna guess.
Ummmmmmmm, Rosie O'Donnell?
Er, Lawrence O'Donnell?
Ron Paul?
Am I getting close yet?

O.K., O.K. But the NYSlimes editorial board will say it too (although not necessarily on the editorial page). Just give 'em time.
>>>>>LOL
I want some of whatever she’s smokin
Now ya went and did it..RobertPaulson will be here any moment :-)
I disagree. They are very good at planning, but are very poor at executing their plan.
I don’t see the NYT in it’s current form surviving another ten years. :-)
“Good God! I was amazed when I found out this wasn’t Scrappleface!”
I thot it was S’face at first as well. These people are seriously dysfunctional or have had a Vulcan mind meld with OJ, his attorneys and jurors.
Very creative people -
As Rush would say “Republican Dirty Tricks”
But Adriana already said that this bust and the Fort Dix bust were discredited! /s
Got to admire the brass bowling balls and chutzpah these maggots have, if you'll pardon the expression...
I can't help wondering why the Amish didn't rise to the bait; it's always the muslim maggots. They can't be too smart.

It scares me, she will be on Larry King within 2 weeks of the arraignment
Islamic rule sanctions lying, stealing, and killing in order to advance Islam. In fact, Islam doesn’t have a moral code analogous to the Ten Commandments; the idea that Islam shares the general moral outlook of Judaism and Christianity is another PC myth. In Islam, virtually anthing is acceptable if it FOSTERS THE GROWTH OF ISLAM. Please, always beware of Islamist statements to the press. Remember Saddam’s PR guy during the Iraq war...he was a laugh, huh?? So are these people.
You can't entrap a good and honest man.
Regardless, this "no "boom - no foul" muslim view of muslim criminal activity won't get traction in most civilized countries.
