Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Texas: Jailed jihadi, just freed, discussed bomb-making procedures while in prison, charged with aiding ISIS

Dec 14, 2017 7:54 pm By Robert Spencer

“Just released from federal prison after serving the better part of a decade behind bars for allegiances made with jihadi fighters in Somalia in 2009, convicted terrorist Mohamed Ibrahim Ahmed is now alleged to be providing support to the terrorist organization typically referred to as ISIS while in Beaumont.”

All that time in prison clearly did him good and disabused him of his jihad sentiments.

In reality, nothing was done to change his mindset while he was in prison. To have done anything would have been “Islamophobic.” Instead, his jihad beliefs were reinforced by prison officials who doubtless treated the Qur’an with the utmost respect and allowed him to pray with other Muslim inmates. And so he plotted more jihad.

“Admitted terrorist now facing ISIS charges in Beaumont,” by Jennifer Johnson, The Examiner, December 14, 2017 (thanks to Cecilia):

Just released from federal prison after serving the better part of a decade behind bars for allegiances made with jihadi fighters in Somalia in 2009, convicted terrorist Mohamed Ibrahim Ahmed is now alleged to be providing support to the terrorist organization typically referred to as ISIS while in Beaumont, prosecutors contend in new charges unsealed in court this past week.

Among the accusations made against the 43-year-old Eritrean-born Ahmed – also known under the aliases of Talha, Mohammed El Eritri and Abu Zakaria – is that, between 2014 and May 2017, he attempted to provide “material support and resources” to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), aka the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), “to wit: personnel and services.”

Ahmed was hit with this charge and others just days before he was set to be released from federal prison for terrorism charges he admitted to in New York in 2012, stemming from a 2009 arrest and deportation from Nigeria.

Ahmed offered no defense for the evidence the government presented at that time that showed the accused operative traveled to Somalia in April 2009 “for the purpose of receiving jihad training at an al-Shabab paramilitary camp.” While in Somalia, not only did Ahmed provide the terrorists there with cash currency as a donation, he also spent loot for goods as well, purchasing a Kalashnikov rifle (commonly referred to as an AK-47), and two grenades.

Additionally, the government showed, Ahmed took lessons on bomb-making and bomb-detonation, learning tricks of the terrorism trade, “including instructions for the preparation and/or assembly of: silver fulminate; urea nitrate; ammonium nitrate; acetone peroxide; a TNT oxidation mechanism in a nitric-sulfuric acid mixture; a bomb detonator; and different types of bomb fuses.”

Ahmed was found in possession of the instructions while in Nigeria later that same year.

However, despite the evidence used to the secure the New York conviction, Ahmed still purported to Beaumont federal investigators that he had no knowledge of bomb-making procedures – which is why he faces additional charges of providing false statements involving national terrorism tacked on to the new terrorism charges sparked in Jefferson County. Investigators further claim that Ahmed not only knew how to make a bomb, but he also discussed “the construction of a bomb with another inmate” and then lied about that, too, to FBI agents in Beaumont.

Ahmed pleaded guilty in June 2012 to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization (al-Shabab) and one count of conspiracy to receive military-type training from a foreign terrorist organization (al-Shabab). In March 2013, he was sentenced to serve 111 months in prison for the crimes against the nation.

Ahmed was released from federal custody on Monday, Dec. 11, according to the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator….

      It figures, Ashley–as soon as Bitcoin seemed to be an even vaguely viable currency that Muslims would start using it to fund violent Jihad. *Ugh*.

    How many other Muslims in federal prison now know how to make bombs

    • StacyGirl says

      Dec 14, 2017 at 8:28 pm

      With internet access and participation in “worship “ probably many.

        True, StacyGirl–I just how many learned directly from this pious Jihadist?

        Muslims in prison should be isolated from both Infidel prisoners and from each other.

        They probably can get better bomb making skills while in prison through some kind of affirmative action program! I mean to deny them that right would be down rite islamaphobic!

      Graven, why do you put the title of the article in many of your responses? It’s quite distracting. People comment to the article, and I don’t think anybody expects to read the title as a comment of somebody. Moreover, imagine if everybody would do what you do. There would be more titles than comments.

    I can’t believe the criminal justice system failed! They have done so well in the past with all the other criminals! Just one suckcess after another!!! Yes I do realized I spelled success wrong.

    The burden to all mankind which is Islam is ubiquitous. Yes, even found in Texas. Next stop, perhaps Antarctica since none of the earth can truly be free of this religious cancer until it itself is placed on the trash heap of history (and not even then, should such occur, since cancerous tumors sometimes make a come-back).

    Am I comparing Islam to cancer? You’re damn right I am. After all, they have so much in common. One can count the ways, and then some, since the comparisons of these two diseases approach the innumerable, not the least of which being that they are both, in their own way, wrapped up with death.

    What is striking about this story is that the mujahadin got out after several years in the pokey. The thinking of the gubmint is that jihad is not a serious enough threat to merit automatic life without parole.

    So he dawa’d in the pokey, so what? Given what is commanded in the Holy Ko-Ran, and what is demonstrated as a behavioral model in the Hah-Deaths, it is understandable that this guy passed on his newly acquired bomb making skills to his fellow Moslems.

    For his part, the Warden would never even dream of reading the Holy Ko-Ran to make sure it was ok as not inciting the Moslem inmates to murder violence upon release. That just wouldn’t do.

    I think Cortez is right, they need muslims to start a civil war.
    When you discover all the truths about almost everything, whatever it is, it shows the lowest of the human consciousness. It is so shameful, and what is worse, almost nobody seems to feel ashamed about it to think about it and MAY BE CHANGE THINGS? Too late I guess!

    So, is this guy still in the U.S.? If so, WHY? This is why we have chaos. If this guy is not an American, GET HIM OUT OF OUR COUNTRY.
