Busted by NYPD: Saddam Mohamed Raishani attempted to pose as humanitarian to join ISIS
2017-06-29
[NY Post] A Bronx home health aide was arrested at JFK airport Wednesday night for plotting to "pose as a nurse" on a humanitarian mission in order to travel to Syria and join terrorist group ISIS, the feds have said.

Saddam Mohamed "Adam" Raishani was charged by Manhattan federal prosecutors with one count of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

Prosecutors said Raishani, 30, has spent months plotting alongside an undercover NYC police officer and an undercover FBI, who he believed were trying to help him get to Syria to join ISIS.

At one point, Raishani told the undercover cop, who he believed also wanted to join ISIS, that he would pose as a nurse if the cop posed as a refugee aid worker so that they could cross international borders without drawing suspicion from the authorities, the feds said.

#6  Isn't convicted yet.
Some bright spark might even get him off for 'entrapment' or something.
Also, what happens after 20 years ? Hell, what happens after 2, and numerous pleas for clemency ?

#5  Hey Captain, we hooked him up to a lie detector, we asked him if he was joining ISIS and we asked him if he was on a humanitarian mission, and both were true. What does that mean?

It means you are a racist, Sarge. It means you are a racist.

#2  Take his passport and revoke his citizenshop and send him on his way to join ISIS where he won't cost our courts any money and where he is likely to die.

The DOJ brand starting to be restored and the tarnish removed? This have anything to do with getting rid of the Muslims in the WH in 2016?
