ISIS-inspired Queens women plead guilty to NYC bomb plot
|
| More on this story from yesterday about the end of a pair of romantic young ladies who preferred playing at jihad to giggling over movie star antics while enjoying weekly mani-pedis at the salon. The Greek-American convert, married and mother of one, and the Saudi lass who kept house for her brother and was Facebook friends with jihadi wannabes like Tairod Pugh (briefly a US Air Force airplane mechanic before selling his skillz to various MidEastern employers), did lots of “research and preparation” without actually accomplishing anything before they were arrested. |
[NYPOST] Two terror fangirls from Queens who went gaga for al Qaeda and ISIS
 ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...
‐ including one who carried around the late Osama bin Laden
...... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse......
’s photo ‐ copped to bomb-building charges Friday that could land them in prison for up to 20 years.
Noelle Velentzas, 31, and Asia Siddiqui, 35, could wind up in prison for 20 years after pleading guilty in Brooklyn federal court to attempting to build a weapon of mass destruction.
Between 2013 and 2015, the pair plotted to set off explosives in New York. They researched how to make boom-mobiles and visited Home Depot in Queens to browse for bomb-building materials with a woman they knew as "Mel" ‐ who was actually an undercover agent who caught them on tape talking about their murderous fantasies.
"Noelle, Mel and I discussed the need to prepare for jihad," Siddiqui told Brooklyn federal Judge Sterling Johnson Jr., reading from a prepared written statement.
The two women taught each other chemistry and electrical skills that could be used to build bombs ‐ drawing inspiration from terror attacks launched on US soil like the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
In a December 27, 2014, meeting, the women also discussed the possibility of attacking the funeral for NYPD officer Rafael Ramos, who was fatally shot alongside partner Wenjian Liu while they sat in their patrol car in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The two would-be bombers were blatant about their support for terrorist groups abroad, court papers state, gleefully watching online videos of a suicide kaboom and of ISIS fighters beheading Syrian soldiers.
"Why we can’t be some real bad bitches?" Velentzas said in one meeting as she took a knife from her bra and showed Siddiqui and the informant how to stab someone.
On one occasion, Velentzas showed the informant her phone, which had a photo of Osama bin Laden ‐ who she called one of her heroes ‐ set as her screen pic.
Siddiqui, meanwhile, had been in repeated contact with members of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, according to court papers, and was close with a prominent figure within the group.
| That would be Samir Khan, the Pakistani-American lad who ran off to edit Al Qaeda in Yemen’s Inspire magazine, publishing therein a poem of hers absolutely redolent with the effort of its creation. |
Siddiqui also tried her hand at gruesome terrorist poetry in which she called for readers to engage in violence and find truth "through fists and slit throats."
| That’s the one. It was “inspired”. (Sorry. But even Pappy could not have resisted that one.) |
"Velentzas and Siddiqui were intent on waging violent jihad here in the United States, researching at length historical terrorist attacks on US soil, educating themselves on how to turn propane tanks into bombs, and dreaming up plans to kill Americans on our own turf," FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William Sweeney said in a news release.
Siddiqui and Velentzas are due back in court in December for sentencing.
