Jihadist Arrested in Phoenix

Story here. Read it all.

Coincidentally, his name has jihad in it! This guy was in the US Navy, had secret security clearance and apparently used it for jihad purposes.


Hassan Abujihaad, 31, of Phoenix, is accused in a case that began in Connecticut and followed a suspected terrorist network across the country and into Europe and the Middle East.

He was arrested in Phoenix on charges of supporting terrorism with an intent to kill U.S. citizens and transmitting classified information to unauthorized people.

Abujihaad, who is also known as Paul R. Hall, is charged in the same case as Babar Ahmad, a British computer specialist arrested in 2004 and accused of running Web sites to raise money for terrorism. Ahmad is scheduled to be extradited to the U.S. to face trial.

Abujihaad, a former enlisted man, exchanged e-mails with Ahmad while on active duty on the USS Benfold, a guided-missile destroyer, in 2000 and 2001, according to an affidavit released Wednesday. He allegedly purchased videos promoting violent jihad, or holy war.



Wonder how many hours will pass since I did this post until the CAIR will be all over the MSM demanding that Mr. Abu-Jihad be released, apologized to and richly compensated just because he's a Muslim? Of course we cannot arrest Muslims for conspiring to commit terrorism against America!

If we capture bin Laden, I'm sure the CAIR will support him. That's who they are. That's what they're about.

And I'm sure the left will automatically believe the guy was framed.
