Six Bosnian immigrants have been accused of sending money and equipment to terrorists oversees, including fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group and al-Qaida in Iraq, the U.S. attorney’s office announced Feb. 6.
An indictment unsealed Feb. 6 in St. Louis said the defendants donated money themselves and in some cases collected funds from others in the U.S. and sent the donations oversees. It says two of the defendants used some of the money to buy U.S. military uniforms, firearms accessories, tactical gear and other equipment, which was shipped to people in Turkey and Saudi Arabia who forwarded the supplies to terrorists.
The supplies and money eventually made their way to fighters in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere, according to the indictment. Money also was sent to support family members of people fighting in Iraq and elsewhere, the indictment says. All of the defendants knew where the money and supplies were going, the indictment says.
The indictment alleges the conspiracy began no later than May 2013 and that the defendants used email, phones and social media websites including Facebook to communicate using coded words, such as "brothers," ”lions" and "Bosnian brothers."
All six people who are charged are natives of Bosnia who were living in the U.S. legally. Three are naturalized citizens; the other three had either refugee or legal resident status, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
The indictment names Ramiz Zijad Hodzic, 40, his wife, Sedina Unkic Hodzic, 35, and Armin Harcevic, 37, all of St. Louis; Nihad Rosic, 26 of Utica, New York; Mediha Medy Salkicevic, 34, of Schiller Park, Illinois; and Jasminka Ramic, 42 of Rockford, Illinois.
All face charges of conspiring to provide material support and resources to terrorists and with providing material support to terrorists. Rosic and Ramiz Hodzic are also charged with conspiring to kill and maim people in a foreign country.
Hang ‘em in the town square!
I wonder what first tipped off the FBI.
They don’t seem big enough and our Gov right now doesn’t seem smart enough to find them.
It could be the $$$ transfer records.
The king of Jordan should remember what happened when Milosevic went off the rails on the Bosnian Muslims for the murder of his citizens.
Same as the Boston Bombers and their family along with countless others we let into the US to do us harm.
I vote for that option. We need to bring back that practice.
Why in the world can’t we make immigration distinctions and stop bringing societal cancer here.?
(((
Don’t be silly! You are not permitted to interfere with the Left’s destruction of our civilization.
These are just the six that were caught.
What a waste of expensive FBI manhours.
Would’ve been much more cost effective to have never let muzzies into the country.
