And apparently nothing he heard down at the local mosque ever gave him the impression that shipping weapons to al-Qaeda was a really bad idea. "FBI: Iraqi bragged about insurgent operations in Baghdad; agents seized 4 phones in raid," from the Associated Press, February 24 (thanks to Buck):
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — An Iraqi man who settled in Kentucky as a refugee boasted about having been an insurgent in Baghdad as he plotted with a confidential informant to ship weapons and money to Al-Qaida in his home country, the FBI said in a search warrant application obtained Monday.FBI Special Agent Chris Faber quoted 24-year-old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi as saying he didn’t know how many explosives he had placed in Iraq because “By God I didn’t count them.”
“I mean, I used to do two or three operations a day in Baghdad and I used to do every day in my neighborhood,” Hammadi said.
The search warrant, approved Jan. 25 and obtained by The Associated Press as a public record, gives details of recorded conversations between Hammadi, 30-year-old Waad Ramadan Alwan and the confidential source from late 2009 through early summer 2011 in Bowling Green.
Hammadi faces 12 charges, including perjury and attempting to send material support to a known terrorist organization. His trial is scheduled for July 30. Alwan pleaded guilty to 23 terrorism-related charges in December and is to be sentenced April 3.
The warrant also detailed how Hammadi and Alwan acquired what they thought were working weapons, including rocket propelled grenade launchers, C4 explosives and Russian-made surface-to-air missiles, and allegedly plotted to ship those and financial aid to Al-Qaida in Iraq. The FBI said all the weapons were rendered inoperable.
Prosecutors sought the warrant to seize and search four cell phones from Hammadi because records show that he made international phone calls on them. The warrant does not reveal what agents found on the phones.
Prosecutors say Hammadi lied to gain refugee status and enter the United States. Prosecutors said Alwan took part in insurgent activities in Iraq, including planting improvised explosive devices targeting U.S. troops....
"Prosecutors say Hammadi lied to gain refugee status and enter the United States"
It's OK, the intrepid clerics at the mosque told him it was allowed in Islam to do so....

Oh, great—this either means Hammadi is incapable of even simple arithmetic, or is simply incalculably vicious and destructive.
In either case, an excellent addition to the rich tapestry that is modern America! sarc/off

Can you imagine how Hammadi's actions added to the quality of life in his neighborhood? This is, in fact, probably how he wound up being accepted as a "refugee" in the United States...

That how screwed up is the refugee program in the USA. Majority of the people from muslim countries gaining this status belongs to the majority community. The same community that is dominating and oppressing the minorities in their countries. true refugee such as Coptic and other Christians, Hindus, and atheists have a hard time gaining this status because the offices overseas are full of the majority filing their phony and false claims of refugees.

Oh no, not another muslim liar! Muslims are just 'average' folks who want the same things we all want. It sure seems to me that muslims want the exact opposite of what normal, rational people want and they all seem to get a free pass to America. With millions of illegal immigrants from Mexico coming to border states to have babies and collect welfare, and jihadists from Iraq, Afghanistan, and the most putrid sewer on planet earth, Somalia, getting unquestioned refugee status, Obama's systematic destruction of America plan will bear fruition even sooner than he hoped. Does anyone do background checks on the jihadists we let into our country?
In the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad, pages 511-517 (758-766 in the Arabic) we learn how in Khaybar Muhammad ordered the torture of a man in order to get hold of a treasure, then beheaded the man, and how that night Muhammad took into his private tent for consummation of "marriage" the tortured man's widow, Safiya, whose father and other male relatives Muhammad had just killed:

FBI : The warrant detailed how Hammadi and Alwan acquired what they thought were working weapons... "
two down and ? to go.
There is a great big loop hole in the immigration procedure that lets a truck load of terrorists through without hard evidence.
At the same time - FBI did a great job, they can use the resources to
catch more. These guys will be sent back to the hell hole they really love where they came from.
He must have told whopper lies to get into the US...Who ever believed them should be relieved of their duty immediately...Incompetence, malfeasance...typical Obama employee...
Are we rely this gullible ?
All the security at airports to have an immigration that is flawed & incompetent !
In a not so funny kind of way, the United States has brought this onto themselves.
I'm talking about decades of appeasement, apologies, pay offs, looking the other way, changing our laws to accomedate Islam, and multiple gifts of money to buy the friendship of Muslims.
We have all been for warned that Islam takes all kindness as a weaknesses. So these terrorists probably figure they will be released by the judges.
