Smiling “Just Fireworks” Terrorist Not Smiling Now: Ahmed Mohamed Pleads to Being a Terrorist
By Debbie Schlussel
Remember Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed, one half of the Muslim duo caught driving on an obscure highway near Goose Creek, South Carolina in the middle of the night, with pipe bombs, laptops, and Korans, back in August of last year?
The claimed it was “just fireworks” and that they were going to spend a weekend grilling or something. Yup, “grilling” Americans. They were driving near a military installation which stores nuclear weapons and held terrorist enemy combatants. With the Yemeni Mohamed was Yousef Megahed, an Egyptian. They both smiled in their mugshots and in court proceedings.
“Just Fireworks” Terrorist Ahmed Mohamed: That Was Then . . .
This Is Now . . .
I told you there was talk of a plea deal in this case. And today, there’s no more smiling. Mohamed pleaded guilty (read the plea deal here) to material support to terrorists, which means the government must have had a very strong case, and Mohamed a very weak defense.
In the court document, he admits to providing material to support terrorists. He also acknowledges that a YouTube video he produced was to be used in “preparation for or in carrying out the killing of employees of the United States,” including uniformed personnel.
Hmmm . . . where are his friends at CAIR–constantly defending him–now? Where’s CAIR’s Ahmed Bedier, this terrorist’s constant verbal mash-note utterer?
Crickets chirping . . . .
Watch for the other shoe to fall soon on Megahed, if–as he should be required to do–Mohamed testifies against Megadeath, er Megahed. That would usually be a part of any plea deal, but it’s not in Mohamed’s. Though, if he helps, it will be taken into account in his sentencing. Still, never bet on the competence of the Justice Department. This is one of those rare, praiseworthy moments for DoJ in the War against Islamic Terrorism.
See South Florida-based investigator Bill Warner’s site for more info. Bill followed the case closely and uncovered a great deal of info over the last year, some of which I cited here.
The Good News: One smiling “Just Fireworks” terrorist down, one to go. The Bad News: One Islamic terrorism supporter down, hundreds of millions to go.
Debbie,
You need to take a greater role in things… there are so few….
I know you feel your posts are enough.. but we need a Leader…
there is no one to lead this idea of a Republic…
so odd… that so few are willing to lead
