Patrick Poole reported in PJ Media in December 2012 that Aldosary was rejected for citizenship by DHS for “terrorism-related activity,” but not deported. Why not? Did someone intercede on his behalf? If so, who, and on what grounds? Or was this just another in a seemingly endless line of accommodations to Muslims and Islam by the Obama Administration — accommodations that were probably designed to show good will and discourage terrorism? We can see from this incident how spectacularly this endeavor has succeeded. Not that anyone in Washington would dare contemplate abandoning it, no matter what the failure rate may be.
“Aldosary gets 5 years in federal prison,” by Shelley Ridenour for the Casa Grande Dispatch, February 25 (thanks to Benedict):
A Coolidge man awaiting prosecution in state court for murder and attempted murder, among other charges, was sentenced Monday to five years in federal prison stemming from his Sept. 20 conviction of being a felon in possession of firearms and of ammunition.
Abdullatif Ali Aldosary, 48, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton on Monday morning in Phoenix. The judge combined his sentences, pointing out that he faced up to 10 years in prison on the three counts. Aldosary has 14 days to appeal his federal sentence.
Additionally, Aldosary was fined $7,500 and ordered to pay a $100 court fee. He was sentenced to three years supervised probation after he’s released from federal prison, ordered to participate in a mental health program and to have no contact with any employees of the Casa Grande Social Security office.
“The court believes the defendant presents an extreme danger to the community,” Bolton said during the sentencing hearing.
Aldosary is accused of setting off a homemade bomb at the Casa Grande Social Security office on Nov. 30, 2012. His federal court convictions stem from materials police found at his home after they arrested him the day of the bombing. Besides ammunition, they found paperwork related to how to make a bomb and other materials that could be used in a bomb. Because of a 2008 conviction in Maricopa County for aggravated harassment, a felony, Aldosary is not allowed to possess weapons or ammunition.
An arraignment for Aldosary is scheduled for March 14 in Pinal County Superior Court. That hearing date has repeatedly been delayed. But, in a press release issued Monday, Pinal County Attorney’s Office spokesman Jim Knupp said his office has ensured that Aldosary will be in Pinal County for a court appearance that day.
Aldosary faces 22 state charges from two separate incidents in November 2012.
He’s charged with first-degree murder in connection with the Nov. 27, 2012, shooting death of Orlando Requena at Arizona Grain in Maricopa. Requena was killed at 2:40 that morning while at work at the grain elevator. Aldosary also is charged with aggravated assault and two counts of misconduct involving weapons from the Nov. 27 incident.
All of the other charges he faces in state court stem from the Nov. 30 bombing in Casa Grande. He’s charged with 14 counts of attempted murder in connection with the 14 people inside the office at the time the bomb exploded. He’s also charged with two counts of criminal damage, one count of arson and one count of depositing explosives, all related to the bombing.
Aldosary was arrested about 90 minutes after the bomb went off at 8:21 a.m. that Friday in downtown Casa Grande.
A witness provided police with a description and a license plate number of a car seen driving away from the office parking lot, which led police to Aldosary’s home in Coolidge. They found him washing his car in his driveway that morning.
The Social Security office was closed until Dec. 13 while repairs were made.
Two federal charges originally filed against Aldosary in 2012 later were dismissed at the request of federal prosecutors. A count of malicious damage to federal property by means of explosives and a count of attempted interference with the work of a government agency were dismissed after the U.S. Attorney’s Office learned that Aldosary had been indicted in Pinal County on a charge of arson of an occupied structure “based on the same conduct which supports” the malicious damage and attempted interference charges.
No motives for Aldosary’s actions in either incident have ever been given by police….
Yes, it’s a real head-scratcher!

I think the people need to rise up and demand answers. Why was he not deported and why are others just like him entering the USA?

As someone my self who is an immigrant to the USA, I can tell you this, that the US immigration and immigration laws are so messed up, so clustered, so bungled it is not even funny. One that needs to be deported has to be seen by an immigration judge not the regular judge(courts) . One can drag this so long specially if they can retain a good immigration lawyer And if one gets to be seen by a PC immigration judge and begs and pleads and say he/she is sorry there is a good chance they get to stay here specially if they have families here such as their kids if born here .

Creepy looking dude..

Only 5 years? Deport him to England. Then he can go to Syria, get more training, immigrate to Chechnya and kill Putin’s police.
Problem solved for us, at least form the time being for this moron.

Political correctness KILLS innocent Americans. Guys like Aldosary should lose his citizenship and be deported after finishing the sentence.
mortimer says
Five years doesn’t seem enough time for someone who endangered the public so recklessly with intent to murder as many as possible indiscriminately.

Arizona: Muslim who set off bomb in Social Security office gets five years prison dawah
…………………………………
Just *five years* for what could have been mass murder at a federal site? Suicidal madness…
Of course, this fine upstanding Jihadist was also responsible for a slew of other crimes against the “filthy Kuffar”, including murder…
