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

Oklahoma: Muslim who attended flight school also attended al-Qaeda training camp

Dec 18, 2018 10:49 am By Robert Spencer

What could possibly have gone wrong? Only greasy Islamophobes would look askance at a Muslim who went to an al-Qaeda training camp also attending a flight school, right?

“Saudi citizen residing in Oklahoma pleads guilty to visa fraud and concealing attendance at al Qaeda training camp,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, December 14, 2018:

OKLAHOMA CITY — A man from Saudi Arabia who is a former resident of Weatherford, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty Friday to visa fraud and making a false statement to the FBI by, among other things, concealing his application to and attendance at an al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan in late 2000….

On Feb. 5, 2018, Naif Abdulaziz M. Alfallaj, 35, a citizen of Saudi Arabia, was taken into custody by the FBI without incident, based on a criminal complaint signed in the Western District of Oklahoma. According to the complaint, the FBI found 15 of Alfallaj’s fingerprints on an application to an al Qaeda training camp, known as al Farooq, which was one of al Qaeda’s key training sites in Afghanistan. The document was recovered by the U.S. military from an al Qaeda safe house in Afghanistan. The document is also alleged to include an emergency contact number associated with Alfallaj’s father in Saudi Arabia. Alfallaj is alleged to have first entered the U.S. in late 2011 on a nonimmigrant visa based on his wife’s status as a foreign student. According to the complaint, he answered several questions on his visa application falsely, including whether he had ever supported terrorists or terrorist organizations. Alfallaj has been detained in federal custody since his Feb. 5 arrest.

On Feb. 6, a grand jury returned a three-count indictment against Alfallaj. The indictment charged two counts of visa fraud. Count One alleged that from March 2012 to the present, Alfallaj possessed a visa obtained by fraud. Count Two alleged he used that visa in October 2016 to apply for lessons at a private flight school in Oklahoma. The third count charged him with making a false statement to the FBI involving an offense of international terrorism, when he denied ever having associated with anyone from a foreign terrorist group.

At the Dec. 14 hearing, Alfallaj pleaded guilty to one count of visa fraud and one count of making a false statement to the FBI relating to international terrorism. In particular, he admitted he possessed a nonimmigrant visa from March 2012 to early 2018 that he obtained by fraud. He also admitted he falsely told agents during the December 2017 interview that he had never visited Afghanistan or participated in religious, tactical or military training outside Saudi Arabia; and he otherwise affirmed falsely that all of the answers on his nonimmigrant visa application were true and correct….

    Naif Abdulaziz M. Alfallaj is a ‘sleeper’ waiting for his JIHAD ORDERS from headquarters.

    Would you want this trained pilot on YOUR AIRPLANE FLIGHT even if he wore handcuffs?

      Good for law enforcement…but how many others are out there that they haven’t caught???Flight school???Brings back memories of 9/11….We need more law enforcement officials that have no other job than to catch people like this…Hire them, train them and put them to work. Where does the money come from to do this????
      Simple answer…stop sending monies to foreign countries that hate us and are laughing all the way to the bank.

    Yet another future potential sky terrorist like other Saudi Terrorists involved in 9/11 atrocity.Every Muslim seems to have a streak of TERRORISM in him .They are peaceful till they get the opportunity to earn one way ticket to Islamic Paradise with all the erotic goodies.

    1. Stealth/sleeper.

    2. Wife is part of the scheme. Cancel visa and deport immediately, persona non grata, and not allowed back in USA ever.

    It would be nice to know if his wife is still in the U.S. as a foreign student. If she is, she should be thrown out immediately since she had to have known about his terrorist activities and training. It also shows that the FBI is doing what the State Department should have been doing in regards to background checks. It should highlight the need for further blockage of Islam into America as the president has stressed.

      The idea of nation states is a kuffar concept.

      As Amazon’s Somali work force made clear at that recent protrest, they’re “East Africans”.

      Every Muslim, everywhere, belongs to an unbordered, worldwide umma.

    ……………………

    How many more are there here like Naif Abdulaziz Alfallaj, who just have not been caught yet?

    Why are they still allowed in the country? We’re in a war on terror. You don’t let citizens of countries you are war with come and go in your country at will.

    • Guy Forester says

      Dec 18, 2018 at 10:45 pm

      That is the problem. They have declared war on us, but the numb skull leaders refuse to believe this and insist that we are the bigots and racists for reporting exactly what the self proclaimed enemy have said, done, and promise to do.

    We also need to shut our borders and place a moratorium on migration.

    People like Moslems who hate the United States NEED to STAY OUT.

    They are unwelcome here.

    Okay…enough is enough: no more students from Saudi Arabia allowed at North American universities. Period. This is academic jihad.

    Hmmm.

    Jihadi training camps… and flight schools.
    They seem to go together a lot.
    Am I detecting a pattern here… some sort of ‘positive correlation’, or is it just me?
    (Positive here does not mean ‘good’.)

    But hey, if I start figuring this out and even prevent some terrorist acts, now wouldn’t that make me
    some sort of ‘islamophobe’? Unless I claim they are all ‘mentally ill’ or something?
    Kinda like those shady conspiracy theorists, right?
    I mean why do we need conspiracy ‘theorists,’ when there are no ‘conspiracies,’ right?
    How can you theorize about something that just does not exist? Now if it did, THEN we
    would need them like air and water, but since there aren’t any….
    And we know for certain that there are no conspiracies, I mean like… ever… because
    the establishment media has officially informed us so, and told us that this is the case,
    and that anything to the contrary is ‘fake news’ because they are the ‘real news’ because
    they claim to be the real news….. yeah, like they just ‘got together’ and came up with that
    line about real news and fake news….hey… but wait a minute… why is there something about
    that…. that bothers me… just keeps nagging at me….?!
    Hmmmmmm. Welp, golly, I guess it just must be my overly ‘phobic’ mind at work again.
    I mean it couldn’t be a conspiracy that I’ve uncovered, since they keep telling us that
    there is no such thing… that’s all ‘fake news’……nope, nothing to theorize about there…
    just keep moving along folks….
    I guess I’d better get back to sleep…..
    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Hey, no problem there! Just give him a job in national security with access to privileged information. To do otherwise would be Islamophobe.

    Why are these filth even allowed to enter ANY sacred Western soil? Barbarians!!!! Enemies of the people of the West. Well… the TRAITORS among us are not Islam enemies. At times Western traitors work in cahoots with those barbarians from their cesspool countries. Major changes are needed in all western countries. End appeasement and commence a state of war until the threat from that cult with 1,4000 years of evil behind it slinks away in fear of superior cultures, societies and countries.
