ICE News waited more than a week to see if the apologists in the liberal “elite” media would report on this story. We waited to hear Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton voice their outrage after their extremely vocal condemnations of the four Marines accused of urinating on the bodies of Taliban terrorists killed in Afghanistan. There has been a “loud” silence concerning the North Carolina trial and convictions. So here it is, folks.
In Federal Court in New Bern, NC on January 13, three would-be Islamist terrorists were found guilty of a slew of terrorism-related charges in a planned attack on unsuspecting wives and children of Marine Corps personnel residing on the sprawling Marine base in Quantico, Virginia.
Ziyad Yaghi, 23 (left); Hysen Sherifi, 27; and Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, 24 all stood before U.S. District Judge Louise Flanagan as they had their convictions and sentences publically read to them Credits: Public Domain – Law Enforcement Mug shots.
Ringleader Daniel Patrick Boyd, who now goes by the name of Safallah, Arabic for “Sword of God,” has already pled guilty and is awaiting sentence. Two of Boyd’s sons have pled guilty to similar charges and were sentenced to eight years and nine years in prison.
ICE hopes the prison they are sent to is the nastiest one in America.
Boyd was recorded by an undercover informant bragging about how easy it would be to get on base (Quantico). Boyd’s bravado shone through when he was taped stating; “My father was an officer. What will they say, their hero’s son cutting their head off?”
He was also caught on tape concerning possible targets; “The generals’ wives, (while) they’re jogging. Their children (while they) are playing.”
Boyd was also recorded expressing his admiration for dead al-Qaeda leader Usama bin-Laden, as well as understanding clearly orders via the internet he received from jihadist leaders overseas; “Hit everything you can that (will) hurt America and the Jews.”
The Associated Press, via FederalNewsRadio.com, reported that:
- Yaghi was convicted of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorism and conspiracy to carry out attacks overseas, and was sentenced to almost 32 years in prison.
- Sherifi was convicted of both crimes, two counts of firearms possession, and conspiracy to kill federal officers or employees for plotting theQuanticoattack. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison.
- Hassan was convicted of providing material support to terrorists, and received a 15 year sentence.
Where is the outrage from the elite Washington and New York media? Why hasn’t the trial been covered and extensively reported on – is it
because the Obama Administration prefers to keep the public ignorant of the threat from homegrown terrorists and therefore passive and non-aggressive?
Would an angryAmericademand strong measures and punishment for those Middle East nations who support, financially and tactically, the Islamic fundamentalists who are committed to destroying theUnited States of America?
You’re damn right they would, and that’s something Barack Obama and the Democratic Party do not want to do.
