New York: Muslim in Islamic State jihad plot tries to stab an FBI agent

Jun 17, 2015 5:49 pm By Robert Spencer

Fareed MumuniMumuni “allegedly waived his right to remain silent and told investigators that he intended to travel to areas controlled by ISIS to fight, and, failing that, he intended to attack law enforcement officers here, according to the complaint. Mumuni also told investigators that he kept the knife he used to attack the agent wrapped in a T-shirt in his bad, as well as another knife that was found in his mother’s car, just in case he had an encounter with law enforcement, according to authorities. Saleh allegedly urged Mumuni to use a bomb to attack members of law enforcement and then to use a car to run over any responders, grabbing their weapons to shoot other victims, according to the complaint.”

One day, some of these people are going to succeed in committing murder in the U.S. for the Islamic State. Then the media can go back to publishing its “Muslims Fear Backlash” stories.

More on this story. “New York man attacks FBI agent in Islamic State-tied probe: U.S.,” by Nate Raymond and Joseph Ax, Reuters, June 17, 2015 (thanks to Robert):

A New York City man was arrested on Wednesday after authorities said he tried to stab an FBI agent executing a search warrant in connection with an alleged plot to carry out an attack in support of the militant group Islamic State.

Fareed Mumuni, 21, was charged with attempting to murder a federal officer after authorities came to his residence in the borough of Staten Island, according to a complaint filed in federal court in Brooklyn.

His arrest was the third so far in an investigation that came to light on Tuesday when authorities unveiled charges against a college student from the borough of Queens whom they called a “fervent supporter” of Islamic State militants.

Munther Omar Saleh, the student, was arrested on Saturday after he and another man ran toward a surveillance vehicle that had been tracking their movements, according to court papers.

The other man, who was also arrested, has not yet been publicly identified.

Mumuni appeared briefly in federal court in Brooklyn, wearing a religious robe and flip-flops, and was ordered held without bail.

Authorities have said Saleh spent hours online researching how to build a pressure-cooker bomb and reading accounts of the deadly 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

According to the complaint filed on Wednesday, Mumuni had assisted Saleh, at one point discussing the prospect of attacking law enforcement with a bomb.

When authorities arrived at Mumuni’s residence Wednesday morning to execute a search warrant, he ignored commands to move to a couch and instead lunged at officers with a kitchen knife, the complaint said.

An FBI agent wearing body armor suffered only minor injuries after Mumuni repeatedly tried to stab him, the complaint said.

Following his arrest, Mumuni told FBI agents he had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, according to authorities. He said he intended to travel overseas to join the group and, if he could not, would attack law enforcement officers.

Anthony Ricco, Mumuni’s court-appointed defense lawyer, told reporters Mumuni was a “quiet, soft-spoken, very bright young man” and that his relatives, some of whom attended the hearing, were surprised by the charges….

Of course. They always are. What would really be a surprise would be if once, just once, the relatives of an Islamic jihadist would say, “Oh, we saw this coming. This guy was jihad, jihad, jihad 24/7.”

    Home grown JIHAD —

    It was maybe once a week when Obama first took office we’d see a story of another moslem taking their religion seriously and going jihad.

    Gradually it became a few times a week.

    Then it’s been every day.

    Now we’ve got homegrown Islamic jihad stories popping up 2, 3, 4 times a day, every day!

    WHERE WILL WE BE BY THE TIME OBAMA LEAVES OFFICE?

    Mumuni’s attempts to carve up an FBI Agent should have left him at room temperature and sporting a toe tag.

      Carlos…I tend to agree.

      Mumuni attempted to stab this FBI agent “several times.” I don’t understand why the little prick wasn’t “neutralized” on the spot.

      I can only conclude there was a strong incentive to bring Mumuni in alive. This little New York terror cell might not be so little after all…

    Of course. They always are. What would really be a surprise would be if once, just once, the relatives of an Islamic jihadist would say, “Oh, we saw this coming. This guy was jihad, jihad, jihad 24/7.”

    Indeed.

    Instead of putting this ( and the other) piece(s) of useless dog shit in prison, I have two alternatives.

    By nature, I am cheap, so I prefer the first , as it is less expensive. AND IT HELPS THEM MEET THEIR GOALS. A TRUE WIN-WIN.

    1. Execute them, so that they can claim martyrdom, and get their 72 virgin piglets.

    Or

    2. If that is too extreme for the liberturds; lame stream media; and the bleeding hears, send them to the cesspool of their choice–ONE WAY–Somalia; Syria ( not the opposite side from the Golan Heights); Iraq; and, the Lebanon/Syria border; or Yemen; or Iran. One way.

    And, in the spirit of multiculturalism, why not send the liberturds; members of the lame stream media and the bleeding hearts with them.

    AND, BE SURE THAT THEIR ENTIRE-EXTENDED FAMILIES ALSO GO.

    This would help reduce prison costs; and prison population (a hot topic for Shillery-after all, she and her aides don’t want to go there-although they belong there)

      I am more than willing to have my tax dollars pay for these Muslims being deported.

      I’m for option 1, but not for 2. Why set them free to kill kafirs elsewhere? Have we no kafir loyalty?

    How many supporters of ISIS are there in the United States now?
    How many supporters of Hamas are there in the United States now?
    How many supporters of Al Qaeda are there in the United States now?

    How many thousands? How many of those supporters are prepared to fight Americans on their own soil?

    ‘He’s a good boy yer honor, he didn’t mean it’…That line is Hollywood, right from the 30’s, 40’s movies. In the movies, the judge sends the boy to reform school anyway, where he gets ‘reformed’…But there is no reform for the jihadist…jihad is a one way street with no expiration date…
