Another case showing how how jihadists obtain important documents, with willing help from short-sighted Americans out to make a buck. “2 La. men first to face terrorism charges in Mississippi,” from AP, :
Two Louisiana men have appeared in U.S. District Court on the first terrorist charges filed in Mississippi.
Lamont Ranson and Cedric Carpenter, both of New Orleans, were arrested Feb. 18 and charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to defraud the United States and an attempt to provide material support to terrorists….
A Jackson television station reported that the two men bragged they had contacts at the Mississippi Highway Patrol and could obtain material to produce false driver’s licenses and other forms of identification.
Court records indicate they agreed to do so in exchange for cash and heroin from Abu Sayyaf, a radical Islamic separatist group based in the Philippines, WLBT-TV reported.
“The information alleges they could obtain Mississippi drivers licenses, false documents that could be used by terrorists to enter the country, remain in the country, travel in the country,” U.S. Attorney Dunn Lampton said.
