We Are Still At War With Fanatical Islam

Michelle Malkin was able to obtain the sealed affadavit regarding two men involved in the Canadian terrorist plot.  Not only does it highlight the fact that international wiretaps were used but that they were also planning attacks inside the US.

But hey, the left still believes there is no terrorist threat.  It's all made up by Bushitler to take away their freedoms:

[...]On or about August 18, 2005, within the Eastern District of New York, the defendant EHSANUL ISLAM SADEQUEE, in a matter within the jurisdiction of the executive branch of the Government of the United States, did knowingly and willfully make a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statement and misrepresentation, in violation of Section 1001(a)(2) of Title 18 of the United States Code.

[...]3. Ehsanul Islam SADEQUEE is a United States citizen of Bangladeshi descent. He was born on July 30, 1986, in Fairfax, Virginia. He lived with his mother, brother and sister in Roswell, Georgia. He attended high school in Canada and has not attended college. In August of last year, SADEQUEE traveled to Bangladesh, ostensibly to get married. He has not yet returned and is believed to have remained in Bangladesh. SADEQUEE has been the subject of a JTTF investigation for several months.

4. Syed Haris AHMED is a naturalized American citizen. He was born in Pakistan on December 9, 1984, and moved to the United States when he was about 12 years old. He still has family in Pakistan. He possesses both a Pakistani and a US passport. His parents and siblings reside in Dawsonville, Georgia. AHMED stays with his parents often, but his primary residence is a house in downtown Atlanta. He attends the Georgia Institute of Technology and currently works at a Muslim perfumery in Smyrna, Georgia.

5. On March 23, 2006, a federal grand jury in the Northern District of Georgia indicted AHMED for material support of terrorism (18 USC § 2339A).

6. In March of 2005, SADEQUEE and AHMED traveled to Canada together via Greyhound bus. While there, they met with several other targets of an ongoing JTTF investigation. The two stayed in Canada for several days. SADEQUEE, when subsequently interviewed by JTTF agents about this trip, lied twice about the joint travel, telling the agents (1) that he traveled alone and (2) that he stayed with his aunt while there. These false statements form the basis for this application for a criminal complaint.

THE CHRONOLOGY

I. INTERVIEW OF SADEQUEE

7. On August 18, 2005, two JTTF agents consensually interviewed SADEQUEE at JFK Airport in New York, just prior to the departure of SADEQUEE’s outbound flight to Bangladesh. The purposes of the interview were to determine where in Bangladesh (and perhaps beyond) he was traveling, his prior foreign travel, his associates and contacts, and other issues relevant to his trip and this investigation. During the interview, SADEQUEE stated that he was going to Bangladesh to get married and that he would be there for up to nine months, in order to obtain a visa for his new wife so that she could return with him to the United States.

8. When asked about other, earlier foreign travel, SADEQUEE explained that he had traveled to Canada via Greyhound bus in January 2005 (the wrong date). He claimed that while in Canada, he had stayed with his aunt in Toronto. The only name SADEQUEE would provide for his aunt was “Manju Auntie”; he said he did not know the name of her husband. Finally, SADEQUEE stated that he traveled to Canada alone.

9. As part of their investigation into SADEQUEE’s travels, federal agents also conducted a routine outbound search of SADEQUEE’S checked luggage. Agents found, concealed in the lining of SADEQUEE’s lone suitcase, two CD-ROMs. One CD contained encrypted files that FBI technical experts remain unable to decode. The other CD contained an apparent bootleg copy of a hard-core ############ film. Concealed along with the CDs was a Fairfax County Visitors’ Center map of the Washington, D.C., and Alexandria, Virginia, areas.

[...]14. AHMED, in a series of interviews in March 2006, provided a fuller picture of the March 2005 trip to Canada. First, he acknowledged that the purpose of the trip was for SADEQUEE and AHMED to meet with like-minded Islamic extremists. According to AHMED, while he and SADEQUEE were in Canada, they met regularly with at least three subjects of an FBI international terrorism investigation. AHMED further explained that, during some of these meetings, he, SADEQUEE, and the others discussed strategic locations in the United States suitable for a terrorist strike, to include oil refineries and military bases. They also plotted how to disable the Global Positioning System in an effort to disrupt military and commercial communications and traffic. Finally, the assembled group developed a plan for traveling to Pakistan where they would attempt to receive military training at one of the several terrorist-sponsored camps. (AHMED later traveled to Pakistan in an attempt to receive just such training.)

Curious how these supposedly "devout" Muslims can try to smuggle porn.  Couldn't wait for those 72 virgins I suppose.

Will any of this make it onto the lefty blogs today?  I highly doubt it.  No way they can spin this to fit their viewpoint.  

UPDATE

Gathered a bit more information based on a comment left by heroyalwhyness.  He noticed that Ahmed worked at a Georgia Perfumery and wondered if he could have been gathering the chemicals needed for Ricin among other things:

So, Syed currently works at a perfumery – in a job familiar with chemicals like Heptaldehyde,  a product derived from castor bean – oil -.  What else is derived from castor beans?  Ricin.  Ricin is initially extracted from  – defatted – castor beans. 

I did a bit of checking and found this from April 21st:

His sister said he graduated a year early from Centennial High School in Alpharetta and has worked at retail establishments such as Pottery Barn and currently works at an oil-and-perfume stand in a Cobb County mall. She did not know which mall.

So while this doesn't appear as suspicious if he worked at a factory with access to large amounts of these chemicals it stands to reason that he would still have access to and the knowledge of chemicals needed to make weapons.  

Ahmed’s younger sister, Samia Ahmed, 18, said her brother told her that authorities found a video on the Internet and apparently traced it to him. “He said, ‘I made a video but didn’t distribute it to anyone,’ ” she said. “He said [it was] a building, not an important building,” added his mother, Faiqa Ahmed. Neither woman knew the location of the building or when the tape was made. Samia Ahmed said her brother perhaps had made the video while he was out of state on a trip with some friends. She did not know where or with whom. Agents confiscated computer hard drives and data CDs from the family home, the family said. 

We now know where and with whom Ahmed travelled.  Plus, did you catch that about the video he made of a building.  I wonder which building?

One Response to We Are Still At War With Fanatical Islam

    Thanks Curt, but all I did was a quick google search of the term  ‘muslim perfumery’ to end up at the details I posted above.   Perfumery initally appeared to me as a  semantic for  chemical factory.In all honesty,  this post stood out initially because of the term "muslim" perfumery.   Does  that muslim perfumery  business only hire muslims? Are their products sold only through muslim distributors?  Why call it "Muslim" perfumery?   Could you imagine the uproar if there were to be a business called "Christian perfumery" or  "Zionist perfumery"?    That term just blew me away . . .and yet the followers of the RoP aka the religion of victimology have the gall to  call anyone who would point this out  racist.
