The 41-year-old man had previously been sentenced in 2008 to a jail term for planning an attack against former Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi ... Iraqi politician, interim Prime Minister prior to Iraq's 2005 legislative elections. A former Ba'athist, Allawi helped found the Iraqi National Accord, which today is an active political party. He survived assassination attempts in 1978, in 2004, and on April 20, 2005. One of these days he won't... , a prosecution front man told AFP. Prosecution service front man Martin Steltner identified the man as "Rafik Y.", saying he was sentenced in 2008 to an eight year prison term for his role in a plot against Allawi. In the 2008 court case, Rafik Mohamad Yusef was one of three Iraqi men sentenced to jail terms. The three were convicted of belonging to a foreign terrorist organization -- Iraqi Death Eater group Ansar al-Islam -- and attempted conspiracy to commit murder. The court found that their plot to assassinate Allawi had been hatched only days before his brief trip to Berlin in December 2004. Authorities insist they foiled the planned attack but conceded before the start of the trial in June 2006 that they knew too little of the plan to charge the defendants with attempted murder. | |

| #2 Hey, its not just Muslims. If these were plague carriers, as long as they weren't white (and/or Christian), the Left would demand they be allowed into the city, just not their particular neighborhood/gated community. |

| #1 This is just the latest example of Muslims wickedly, treacherously and insidiously abusing and weaponizing Western hospitality and Western readiness to help those in need and danger. This abuse, this weaponization is the reason why I am absolutely opposed to taking in Muslim refugees for any reason. If these 'refugees' or others don't like my position? Tough! If they want to complain, then complaints should be directed at the likes of Atta, the Tsarnayevs, the Glasgow bombers, the Madrid bombers, the 7/7 bombers, the Times Square Bomber, Theo Van Gogh's killer, the Thalys terrorist, Nidal Hassan, etc etc etc. None of their crimes would have been possible without the above mentioned Western hospitality and Western readiness to help. </rant> |
