Two NYC men accused of trying to send clothes to the Taliban

Everyone needs warm clothing, right? Well, two New York City men are now facing criminal charges after police say they tried to send winter gear overseas. But this wasn’t your typical Salvation Army clothing drive.

NYPD detectives say Humayoun Nabi and Ismail Alsarabbi tried to send coats and other winter clothes to Taliban and Al-Qaeda forces in Afghanistan.

It’s an offense a district attorney says is just as serious as supplying bullets and bombs.

The men were arrested as a part of a two-year investigation started by a confidential informant who knew them. According to a statement, Nabi admitted that he hates the United States, Jewish people and U.S. soldiers.

The informant apparently worked with the NYPD in a sting operation. Detectives provided money, which the informant gave to Nabi.

Authorities say Nabi then tried to send that money to his father in Pakistan for “merchandise in Afghanistan.”

According to the informant, Nabi told him: “The source of the Americans’ strength is their equipment, specifically good jackets, good goggles, good GPS. We are sitting here breathing in peace, eating chicken and roasts and our brothers, they are dying.”

That was enough for police to arrest the two and charge them with soliciting or providing support for an act of terrorism and conspiracy. They are being held on $500,000 bond.

“There’s people that live amongst us, benefit from our culture and our environment and still harbor very ill feelings against us.”

The attorney for the two men accused the NYPD of entrapment. He says the charges against the two are outrageous and wouldn’t have been possible without the informant’s deception.

The two face up to seven years in prison if they are convicted.

“Nabi admitted that he hates the United States, Jewish people and U.S. soldiers.”

Well then, I assume he is supporting himself in the US by working as an Obamacare Navigator, is a member of the IRS or some other position in the administration....

Two years of investigation for 20 dollars worth of used clothing but millions of dollars of guns and ammo “walked” to Mexico and neither the Attorney General or his boss have been even questioned.

Also found with the winter coats - something a bit more dainty for those moments when Taliban members just want to feel pretty.

WHY are these ENEMY COMBATANT $hitheads ALLOWED to reside in America?
It’s time to deport these people and SHUT OFF our southern border or they’ll be back in here AGAIN.
WHY is our SENATE allowing Muslims to take over OUR country in return for the Hispanic vote? They are NOT the only ones coming in here and our government KNOWS this.
Obama is a Muslim so I blame HARRY REID, NANCY PELOSI, JOHN MCCAIN, BILL CLINTON, HILLARY CLINTON and GEORGE BUSH for this.
Don’t they care that their open border policy is going to come back and bite this country in the arse?
Ted Cruz, Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin and others in the TEA PARTY seem to be the only politicians with any INTELLIGENCE.

“Nabi admitted that he hates the United States, Jewish people and U.S. soldiers.”

So tell me how he is different from obamaramadindong? And obamaramadingdong supplies the taliban with a hell of a lot more than warm clothes!

“NYPD detectives say Humayoun Nabi and Ismail Alsarabbi tried to send coats and other winter clothes to Taliban and Al-Qaeda forces in Afghanistan.”

But its ok for the President to send hundreds of millions to the muslim brotherhood.

“The men were arrested as a part of a two-year investigation started by a confidential informant who knew them. According to a statement, Nabi admitted that he hates the United States, Jewish people and U.S. soldiers.”

Then why did he move here?

Was there actual clothing involved? I thought the guy was trying to send Cash to Paki, supposedly for clothing.

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.

[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]

Amazing we have a president and first lady (wookie, actually) who feel exactly the same way.
