US offers $4 million reward for jihadi whom Obama freed from Guantanamo

The immortal legacy of our sainted former President.

“U.S. Offers Up to $4 Million for Location of Freed Guantánamo Convict,” by Carol Rosenberg, New York Times, November 7, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):

GUANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba — The United States government on Thursday offered a $4 million reward for information on the whereabouts of a Sudanese man who was convicted of war crimes at Guantánamo, was repatriated in 2012 and is suspected of recruiting for Al Qaeda’s branch in Yemen.

It is believed to be the first case of the United States offering a reward for the whereabouts of a prisoner released from Guantánamo by the Obama administration.

In 2014, the United States similarly offered a reward for a Saudi man who had been held at Guantánamo but never charged and was released by the Bush administration in 2006. He was killed in a drone strike in 2015. The State Department declined on Thursday to say whether any money was paid.

The announcement by the State Department of the new bounty on Thursday offered up to $4 million for information on the location of the Sudanese man, Ibrahim al-Qosi, 59. He pleaded guilty at Guantánamo in 2010 to providing support for terrorism and Al Qaeda in exchange for his repatriation. The reward announcement described Mr. al-Qosi as a member of the leadership team of the Yemen-based Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.them were released by the Obama administration….

      Are you referencing the freed jihadi or Obama?

        That is what I wondered. Either or you can tell when he does not like what he hears, look at his hand.

    Obama wanted Gitmo detainees released because he was worried that imprisoning them would make us look bad in the eyes of Muslims, who would then be radicalized. Those poor, sensitive Muslims would then take up mass murder and beheading because we were so mean to those unfortunate, misunderstood and downtrodden jihadis. There are couple of mistakes in this thinking. First, jihadism predated Gitmo by several centuries, so he was a little late to the pity party. Second, the ideology of jihad has to do with establishing Islamic rule through violent means, and is not a civil rights protest.
    This was an example of appeasement which was so utterly moronic that it made Neville Chamberlain look shrewd and canny. It also turned out to be expensive.

    Anyone with a brain and who was paying attention, could have predicted, and many here did, that this would happen.

    The crumbum knew they would all return to the terror fields. That is why he released them…the worst of the worst. He is a moslim, through and through and he wanted his brothers, kith and kin, to be back where they could do the most damage.
    Doing this allowed him to feel he had done his jihadist duty while not directly killing us, and at the same time, get street cred with the other moslims who are similarly engaged as those whom he freed.

    Every thing he did while in public office….in IL and in D.C., was for the furtherance of evil. Every thing.

    Terrorism is a career path for many Muslims. They love their jobs and will always return to them. Prison can even be a productive part of a terrorists life if they can get along with, and learn from, other Muslims.

    Is obama giving us the tawheed one-finger salute beloved of muslims/islamic apologists?

    But of course: that’s his god allah…

    So the Obama administration released Ibrahim al-Qosi, a Sudanese Al Qaeda terrorist, from Gitmo – to be repatriated in 2012.

    It is now suspected that the former Gitmo prisoner is recruiting for Al Qaeda’s branch in Yemen.

    The State Department is offering $4 million for information on his location.

    When the time comes to pay the $4 million, it should be billed to former Pres. Obama. That’s the least that he could do.

    • Wellington says

      Nov 10, 2019 at 8:34 pm

      Seconded, James. It would, of course, result in Obama having to move from a 15 million dollar estate on Martha;s Vineyard to a “mere” 11 million dollar estate on the same island. Oh the humanity!

      So true. And it could be auto deducted from his ‘salary’ he gets as an ex-pretend-president.

    ……………..

    How many freed Gitmo prisoners have returned to Jihad at this point?

    // He pleaded guilty at Guantánamo in 2010 to providing support for terrorism and Al Qaeda in exchange for his repatriation. //

    I thought the idea was that a prisoner pleaded guilty to doing illegal things and was then sentenced to jail time, not released.

    He pleaded guilty at Guantánamo in 2010 to providing support for terrorism and Al Qaeda in exchange for his repatriation.

    Gee, who could have imagined he’d return to his former habits after his release?…
