“Kenyan man pleads guilty in US terrorism support case based on chat room intercepts,” by Curt Anderson, Associated Press, May 28, 2015:

MIAMI — A Kenyan man pleaded guilty in the U.S. on Thursday to terrorism support charges in a case that involved Internet chat room and other online communications with undercover FBI operatives.

Mohamed Said pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations. A factual statement signed by Said identifies those groups as al-Shabaab in Africa and extremist organizations operating in Syria, including al-Qaida.

Said, 27, faces a maximum 15-year prison term when he is sentenced Aug. 14 by U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro. A co-defendant, Gufran Mohammed, is already serving that same 15-year sentence after pleading guilty last year.

The case evolved from FBI monitoring of Internet chat rooms frequented by Muslim extremists, according to court documents. FBI undercover employees posed as online terrorism recruiters and fundraisers in communications with both Mohammed and Said, who were both overseas.

Said admitted in the factual statement that in 2011 he received more than $11,600 in wire transfers from Mohammed for al-Shabaab and that he had told Mohammed later, “I sent it and it was distributed among the mujahedeen.”

“I am sending more this week (Allah willing),” Mohammed wrote back….

Mohammed is a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from India who has a master’s degree in computer science from California State University in Los Angeles.…

But…but…poverty causes terrorism!

    “Watch for the jihad-enabling groups in the U.S. to start calling for restrictions on FBI monitoring of Muslim chat rooms.” That’s true watch for U.S. Muslim groups to start whining about “feeling” “overly monitored” etc. Victimology can pay!

    Also watch for some ‘ LIBERTARIAN”-N ( ALMOST ANARCHIST) GROUPS SAY/DO THE SAME. SAYING, WE ARE INFRINGING ON FREE SPEECH.

    Some, (one that I know of) applauded when ” STOP AND FRISK” in new York City was stopped- it was “in their view– “Unconstitutional”– and insulting.

    BUT IT LOWERED CRIME. ( I spoke to a former NYC police officer-who retired before before the Stop & Frisk was stopped- . he told me, the instructions were- “if the person looks suspicious. Race, nationality, etc. not relevant.

    I also have acquaintances and friends in NYC- who told me that this made them safer. (One person, responding to a comment to this effect-said ” but they aren’t black or Hispanic. That was true, but they also didn’t break laws, or behave in a suspicious manner.

    I am sure that they approve of Rand Paul ( an ophthalmologist–eye doctor) saying the measles vaccine should not be mandatory, speaking as a sen. and as a doctor. I think he (like his father) speak more like assholes.

    But, they will join the Muslim groups.

    just my views

    Also, note that Rand Paul is the leading opponent of NSA, etc. and the leading (Rep?) opponent of waterboarding.. And his father saw/still sees? nothing wrong with Iran having nuclear weapons. So, of course, the Paul’s would be in favor of no monitoring of these creeps.

    They ignore AT OUR PERIL, what VP Cheney has said- that the monitoring, etc. has helped stop terrorist attacks on our shores. But, hey, the Constitution, written when to get from Europe to the east coast of the US was a 2 or more month sea trip- not hours-by plane; and missiles even faster. Not in the Constitution, -explicitly , ban it.

    So, they too will join the Muslims in wanting the monitoring to stop.
