Canada to Afghanistan to Oman: Misunderstanding his religion the world over

You just never know where that "inner spiritual struggle" will take you. Fortunately, in Mohammed Mansour Jabarah's case, that itinerary ended in prison, his plans foiled. "Indictment: Canadian planned attacks in U.S.," by Kelli Arena and Bill Mears for CNN:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Canadian who has pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to kill Americans and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction against U.S. property will be sentenced Friday, his lawyer said.

Mohammed Mansour Jabarah, 25, pleaded guilty shortly after his arrest in 2002. His indictment and plea were unsealed late Thursday at the U.S. District Court in New York.

Prosecutors recommended last June that he be sentenced to life in prison.

Jabarah, also known by the nickname "Sammy," also allegedly pledged allegiance to al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

The government had been investigating Jabarah since his arrest overseas. Court papers allege he was trained in al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan.

He met with bin Laden and al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in the summer of 2001, was given money and told to carry out attacks on U.S. embassies in Southeast Asia, the government says. Those plots failed.

The indictment alleges Jabarah and other al Qaeda members "unlawfully, willfully, and knowingly combined, conspired, confederated, and agreed to kill nationals of the United States."

He later allegedly went to Oman to set up safe houses for al Qaeda members fleeing Afghanistan. There, he was arrested.

Jabarah's guilty plea and sentence were first tied to a cooperation agreement. U.S. officials said he initially helped ongoing terror probes, while staying in an FBI-arranged house under the around-the-clock watch of federal agents.

But "Jabarah was secretly planning to exploit the perception of cooperation," to carry out a "martyrdom mission" to kill American agents and prosecutors, U.S. officials said.

Knives, rope and directions for making explosives were found in his possession.

People who display self destructive behavior are generally considered eligible for commitment to an asylum for treatment.

When Western nations leave their doors wide open to immigration of people who are determined to destroy us, couldn't this be diagnosed as self destructive?

Is it us or the terrorist that are self destructive, and in need of treatment?

rational...treatment? How about lead therapy?
I don't care for it much myself, try to stay away from it as much as possible, but I can see if these guys keep this stuff up, someone is going to think it's time to bless them with lead...I think Allah will go along with this, after all, they are apostates by engaging in 'Anti-Islamic activities'.
Dr Allah himself prescribed lead therapy as a cure for apostasy, so there should be no problem with him...

The indictment alleges Jabarah and other al Qaeda members "unlawfully, willfully, and knowingly combined, conspired, confederated, and agreed to kill nationals of the United States."

This indictment could probably be made against millions of Muslims the world over. All that's missing is opportunity. Once it presents itself, their words will translate into deeds.

rational,
We're not so much self-destructive as we are insecure. We have this need to prove to ourselves how open and accepting we are of other cultures and mores. Meanwhile, the terrorists and their supporters have no such need. They are convinced of their own superiority. They don't see suicide as self-destructive. It's a fulfillment of their destiny.

duh_swami,

Sounds like you're suggesting shock treatment. Sounds like a perfectly valid medical procedure.

Shock treatment does work, sometimes. Of course, it depends upon what you are trying to accomplish.

Does anyone besides me find it just, oh, I don't know, A LITTLE peculiar that the title of the article would be "Canadian planned attacks in US" ...as if his being Canadian had anything to do with it whatsoever!?

Or maybe we should just take this as a cue to do something extreme like build a huge wall spanning the border from Washington to Maine, you know, to complement the one in Mexico, to stem the flow of evil Canadians who wish to do us harm in our country.

Nice job, CNN.

jewwho69,

You know, it's funny--I was doing exactly that--minding my own p's and q's. Then I got distracted by some of the things that happened on September 11, 2001. Go figure.
