New York: Muslim pleads guilty to helping orchestrate jihad suicide attack at US base in Iraq

Mar 7, 2018 6:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Authorities continue to treat jihadis such as Faruq Khalil Muhammad Isa as if they were a series of criminals committing separate and discrete criminal acts that are unrelated to one another. If we had arrested and tried separately in criminal court every German and Japanese soldier captured during World War II, which side would have won that war? This myopia is self-defeating at best, and as the jihad continues, that will become increasingly obvious.

“Iraqi-Canadian faces 27 years in prison for fatal attack on US base in Mosul,” Rudaw, March 7, 2018:

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — An Iraqi-Canadian man has pled guilty to helping to orchestrate a suicide truck-bomb attack at a US forward-operating base in Mosul that killed five soldiers in 2009.

Faruq Khalil Muhammed ‘Isa pleaded guilty to a US federal court in New York to one count of conspiring to murder Americans.

“We are mindful of how difficult this case is for so many, but think that the proposed plea agreement would be an appropriate resolution of the case,” stated his attorney, Mildred Whalen.

He also faced murder and support-of-terrorist charges.

If Isa, 50, had gone to trial, his charges carried a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Instead, he faces 26 years in prison, and then deportation, if the judge signs off on the plea agreement.

Prosecutors met with the families of the victims before the plea, according to Assistant US Attorney Peter Baldwin.

The federal government believes the sentence “will serve to punish [the defendant] and deter others, while also requiring the defendant to admit his participation in these heinous acts.”

Isa is an Iraqi national and Canadian citizen. He was arrested in 2011 on a US warrant after a joint investigation by Canada, the United States, and Tunisia….

The evidence presented in the extradition proceedings cited wiretap evidence of an interview by Isa, allegedly linking him to Tunisian “terrorists.” The terror group used a suicide bomber to kill five soldiers at a US forward operating base on April 10, 2009.

Isa asked in an electronic communication, “Did you hear about the huge incident yesterday? Is it known?” He also identified the bomber as “one of the Tunisian brothers,” to which a facilitator responded, “Praise God,” alleged US authorities.

Isa has claimed by “huge incident” he meant an explosion….

    …………………..

    Appallingly, I am not even shocked by these stories any more.

    At least 27 years is more of a sentence than he probably would have received in Europe for the same Jihad terror crime.

      I suspect that in Canada, he would be pardoned. Needed to go to gitmo.

    Iraqi-Canadian Man means that he will probably be calling on the Muslim/Leaning Canadian Government to assist him here in the States.
    He murdered American Military & he will walk away in a few years, to claim his benefits from Canada, which is always willing to give a break to Jihadist Fighters. SAD!

    I agree with Mr. Spencer, and have been saying so since the first WTC bombing, that we are failing to identify the state sponsors of terrorism on purpose. Treating each terror incident as a separate criminal activity relieves the governments of the west of their responsibility to identify and respond to the state sponsors of terror,

    I guess keeping the OPEC oil money flowing into the pockets of the oligarchs and presidential libraries is more important than the welfare of the US citizens and far more important than our future liberty.

      That’s a quarter century, Guy, that you have been on this issue.

      NYC has been an epicenter to Jihadist court cases….and strikes.

      Here’s hoping the St Paddy parade is safe and sound, it’s around the corner.

      Speaking of which:

      Ireland forced by EU to take multitudes of migrants, including hordes of muslims….

      Luck o’ the Islamists!
