Federal officials arrested a young New York City man today for allegedly supporting ISIS - the culmination of an elaborate FBI and NYPD sting operation in which the 22-year-old was duped by at least four undercover law enforcement agents, according to court documents.
Bronx resident Sajmir Alimehmeti was arrested before dawn this morning without incident. A criminal complaint filed by the Department of Justice alleges that he helped a person he believed to be an ISIS recruit - who was in fact working for federal authorities - travel to Syria to fight with ISIS by giving advice and helping the individual get last-minute supplies. Alimehmeti was also charged with passport fraud for allegedly lying about losing his passport in an attempt to get a new one.
Alimehmeti attempted to join ISIS himself in 2014 but was stopped in the United Kingdom twice, the complaint says - the first time because "authorities found camouflage pants and shirts, as well as nunchucks, in Alimehmeti's luggage" and the second time because U.K. authorities found "images of [ISIS] flags" and "improvised explosive device attacks" on his cellphone. He was sent back to the U.S.

And why was he in this country? And whom let him in?
I know the answers.
Holy crap, I mean what else is there to say at this point?
... the 22-year-old was duped by at least four undercover law enforcement agents....
ISIS wannabes aren’t exactly the proverbial brightest bulbs in the box.
How much did setting up the sting cost us taxpayers. They should have just shot him.
That was my 3rd clue..I already know the answer to your 1st 2 questions...
And what was the cost for just the one person?
How much more is it going to cost the taxpayers when he gets 3 squares on our dime and a chance to convert more idiots in the U.S. prison system?
I’m getting sick of having these ‘homegrown’ terrorists and wannabe terrorists referred to as ‘Americans’ as if they’re Iowa farm boys.
I hope he gets the snot beat out of him in the prison.
I hope he gets the snot beat out of him in the prison.
How long before DOJ gives the retarded inbreeders a pass based on mental disability? The nasty policeman tricked the poor retarded boy.
Sajmir Alimehmeti
Obviously a good Amish boy.
Way to go, there, LEOs. Spill your guts and blat it all over the globe how you caught one wimpy wannabe. Beating your collective chests and blowing off about your embellished exploits in order to make your sissy pantywaist boss look good will not work; and will only make the real terrorists thrice as wary and elusive. Blabberguts!
