“My dream was always here. It’s better for, to get it, for them to get it here … ‘cause that’s why America loves to go to war with people, ‘cause they think nobody can attack them in their country. That’s why they’re so shocked about the Muslims. Because they brought it here … ”

More jihad in America by the devout who studied and followed Islam religiously. Sami Osmakac is an  Albanian from Kosovo, Serbia and is a naturalized US citizen. More Balkan gratitude for American blood and treasure fighting for the Muslims in Bosnia against the Christian Serbs.

TAMPA — Sami Osmakac toyed with the idea of blowing up the bridges crossing Tampa Bay or detonating bombs at the sheriff’s office and police departments before settling on a plan to plant explosives in Tampa’s Hyde Park party district and then spraying first responders with automatic gunfire, according to recently released court documents.
The planned January 2012 attack, Osmakac said in a “martyrdom video,” would be “payback for Sheikh Osama Bin Laden, may he rest in peace. ”
The plots are detailed in a 37-page report by a terrorism expert hired by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tampa to help in its case against Osmakac, a self-described jihadist who said he was too radical even for Hamas and other fringe Muslim groups.

In one recording Osmakac says:
“My dream was always here. It’s better for, to get it, for them to get it here … ‘cause that’s why America loves to go to war with people, ‘cause they think nobody can attack them in their country. That’s why they’re so shocked about the Muslims. Because they brought it here … ”
Osmakac discussed a plan to use fishing boats to plant bombs on the bridges that span Tampa Bay and even one bridge in Sarasota. All he needed, he said was five people, maybe fewer, to carry out the plot.
“They’ll really be terrified,” he told the confidential informant. “Just take down the bridges, they can’t do nothing for a month. Nobody’s going to work, that’s gonna stop like three million people. They gonna be stopped. This area has millions, with Pinellas and Tampa … has like two, three million people. They all, nobody’s going to work.”
Defense attorney George Tragos’ motion was filed Wednesday. A hearing date has not been set.
Tragos said in the motion that Kohlmann’s conclusions aren’t valid.
“Mr. Kohlmann here is attempting to classify Mr. Osmakac using rank speculation without evidence,” the motion says.
His testimony is being presented to the jury “to inflame their emotions with reference to Mr. Osmakac and to prejudice them in a way as to shift their attention from the charges filed by the government.”
The motion says the government has plenty of evidence to present, “without the necessity of this ‘smear campaign.’ ”
