APNewsBreak: Alabama man arrested in terrorism probe
kxan ^ | Sept. 18, 2919 | Jeff Martin

Posted on 09/18/2019 8:02:18 AM PDT by bgill

An Alabama man has been apprehended as part of a yearslong terrorism probe in which the FBI says he told agents he would execute a U.S. soldier if ordered to do so by the Islamic State group.

FBI agents took Nayef Qashou into custody Monday. He’s charged with lying to the FBI and destroying records.

In a newly unsealed affidavit, the FBI says Qashou arrived in the U.S. through Atlanta’s airport in 2015, planning to study nursing at an Opelika, Alabama, community college. The FBI interviewed him more than a dozen times over the next four years.

He used encrypted phone apps to communicate with suspected terrorists who told him he should carry out an attack in the United States, the FBI said.

“Qashou would not tell interviewers exactly how he responded to the suggestion to conduct a U.S. attack,” FBI Special Agent Scott Sullivan wrote in the sworn affidavit. “He stated he essentially responded by saying the only way he could justify an attack is for it to be against U.S. Armed Forces personnel on U.S. soil.”

I guess authorities grew tired of waiting for him to commit a mass murder. So they arrested him prematurely.

How many will read that headline and assume “White Supremacist”?

This character needs to be relocated to GITMO.

Or just shot out of hand - I don't care which.

"destroying records"

Scandalous. They're getting rare and precious.

If he’s so hot you had to interview him a dozen times in four years, he should not be here.

Obama instant refugee-citizen terrorist. Trump should deny the refugee visa (no mention of citizenship application) and return him to his country of origin. Same for Representative Oman [Said Sur] who faked name to invade the U.S.

Nayef Qashou

An obvious scion of the old Qashou family plantation … I bet his great-great-grandfather was a general in the Civil War.

Oh dear....I do hope his “civil rights” weren’t infringed. Miss Omar would feel “betrayed.” (cackle)

What's wrong with that? Hillary didn't get charged.
