Homeland Security hires radical Islamist as security advisor: Watchdog

See also

October 8, 2013
A top security advisor working at the Homeland Security (DHS) is a Muslim who allegedly possesses links to a Hamas fundraiser convicted in the United States, and who maintains ties to radical Islamist organizations, including a nonprofit group that "proclaims Sharia is the only legitimate law according to Islam," said officials at a Washington, D.C., non-partisan watchdog in a report released Monday.
According to the Judicial Watch report, Mohamed Elibiary, a Homeland Security Department advisor has "regular access to classified information and is a prime mover behind two of the Obama administration’s most dangerous policies; normalizing relations with domestic and foreign Islamist groups (including the Muslim Brotherhood) and arduous enforcement restrictions of laws related to material support for terrorism."
While naysayers who support the agenda of President Barack Obama may find fault with Judicial Watch's allegations, the nonprofit's report contains documentation from the well-respected Center for Security Policy (CSP), an Inside-the-Beltway national security think-tank.
The CSP's 33-page study is "actually based on a lengthy, five-part interview with Elibiary, an influential member of Obama’s Homeland Security Advisory Council," according to Judicial Watch.
In one part of his interview with the Daily Caller, Elibiary admits he had a long-term friendship with convicted terrorist organization supporter and financier, Shukri Abu Baker, through his infamous Holy Land Foundation. In fact, during the interview Eibiary admits he had donated money to the HLF until it was smashed by federal law enforcement in 2008.
Elibiary also stated that he knows the Muslim Brotherhood “social network” and supports a partnership with Islamists, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. and abroad, according to CSP analysts.
According to Judicial Watch:
The CSP document includes a number of alarming details of Elibiary’s close relationship with a wide array of U.S. Islamist groups, including the radical Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America which declares that the only legitimate law according to Islam is Sharia. The group also urges American Muslims to nurture hostility towards U.S. law, according to documents discovered and translated into English by the Center for Security Policy.
When former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced Elibiary’s DHS appointment in 2010 Judicial Watch reported that he was a backer of the Ayatollah Khomeini and a well-known Egyptian jihadist named Sayyid Qutb.
And, according to an Examiner news story, Obama and Napolitano aren't the only ones turning a blind eye to radical Islamists in the U.S. government. Presidential wannabe, former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton had warm relations with Islamists including the Muslim Brotherhood.

Suspect pleads guilty to aiding al-Qaeda-linked Somali terror group

Suspect pleads guilty to aiding al-Qaeda-linked Somali terror group

November 5, 2011
On Friday, in St. Louis, Missouri, Mohamud Abdi Yusuf pled guilty to providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization based in Somalia.
According to court documents, from February 2008 through at least July 2009, the 31-year old Yusuf, conspired with others to provide money to al Shabaab, which was designated by the U.S. State Department as a foreign terrorist organization in February 2008.
Yusuf transferred money to al Shabaab under fictitious names and telephone numbers utilizing money remitting businesses operating in the United States.
Al Shabaab -- an ally of al-Qaeda -- is a terrorist organization based in Somalia, whose objective is the overthrow of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), eliminating the African Union support for TFG, and the imposing Sharia law in Somalia. Al Shabaab has engaged in, and used, violence, intimidation, and acts of terrorism in Somalia and elsewhere to further its objectives.
The group also allegedly kidnaps foreign nationals from Kenya and Ethiopia, recently killing a French aid worker whom they abducted from Kenya.
Yusuf admitted to soliciting money from inside and outside the Eastern District of Missouri and coordinating the transfer of the money to al-Shabaab. Members of the conspiracy frequently communicated in coded language as they planned the means by which they transferred money to al Shabaab members and affiliates in Somalia.
Duane Mohamed Diriye, who is a resident of Kenya, and Abdi Mahdi Hussein, who worked for a money remitting business in Minneapolis, were also indicted along with Yusuf on October 21, 2010. Diriye remains at large; Hussein has appeared in court and his case is still pending.
Yusuf entered guilty pleas to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a designated terrorist organization and three counts of providing material support to a designated terrorist organization. Each count carries a maximum penalty of fifteen years in prison and/or fines up to $250,000
In determining the actual sentences, a Judge is required to consider the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, which provide recommended sentencing ranges. United States District Judge Henry E. Autrey set Yusuf’s case for sentencing on January 31, 2012.
“Since 9/11, this is the first international terrorism case prosecuted in Eastern Missouri,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Dennis L. Baker.
He continued, “At least 20 American citizens from other parts of the U.S. have already traveled to Somalia to join al Shabaab, which is responsible for assassinating Somali peace activists, international aid workers, numerous civil society figures, and journalists. Senior leaders of al Shabaab are affiliated with al Qaeda.”

U.S. Military facilities are a popular terrorist target

June 23, 2011
Jun 23, 2011 Last night, police arrested Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, 33, of Seattle, and Walli Mujahidh, 32, of Los Angeles for plotting to attack a military processing center in Seattle, Washington.
The two men are charged with seven-counts including conspiracy to murder officers and employees of the United States and conspiracy to use grenades and machine guns. If convicted, the two could face up to life in prison.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, law enforcement learned of the plot when an unnamed individual informed them of an incident in which Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif allegedly asked the informant to participate in the attack and to supply weapons. The unidentified person agreed to work with authorities as the plot unfolded.
In the unsealed complaint, the U.S. Attorney's Office alleges that the two men bought machine guns for an plan to attack the Military Entrance Processing Station located on East Marginal Way in Seattle. The processing station employs both military and civilian workers and reportedly has a federal day care center on site.
Todd Hinnen, acting assistant Attorney General for National Security said;
“Driven by extreme ideology, these two young Americans are charged with plotting to murder men and women who were enlisting in the Armed Forces to serve and protect our country." Further, Hinnen added the plot was "one of a number of recent plots targeting our military here at home."
U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan added "Because someone stepped forward we were able to disrupt a very deadly attack." said the weapons provided by authorities and delivered to the two men by the cooperating individual were inoperable.
On May 11, 2011 Cody N. Wilcoxson tried to force his way on to a U.S. Army base, Fort Leonard Wood approximately 30 miles west of Rolla. Missouri. While the man did not manage to enter the military base, he fired dozens of rounds of bullets from an AK-47 assault rifle in a shootout with police.
In 2009, a mass shooting took place at US Fort Hood Army base, in Texas during which a gunman killed 13 and wounded 29. Such tragic incidents are becoming a problem for governments worldwide.
There have been numerous others, always exhibiting extreme violence and often downplayed – especially the non-Islamic extremists by US Department of Justice and US Homeland Security.

PeteKing The Hill: US must remain alert to Hezbollah threats abroad and at home

PeteKing The Hill: US must remain alert to Hezbollah threats abroad and at home

US must remain alert to Hezbollah threats abroad and at home

By Rep. Pete King
The Hill
March 28, 2012
There has been a lot of talk of war with Iran, as its extremist regime comes ever closer to building a nuclear weapon.
There has been a lot of talk of war with Iran, as its extremist regime comes ever closer to building a nuclear weapon. As we face the possibility of being drawn into another military conflict overseas, Americans also face potential danger here at home from Tehran and its top proxy terror force, Hezbollah.
And so we must brace ourselves for the worst, and do more than simply pray it never comes.
Members of Hezbollah — the Lebanese Shiite terror group responsible for murdering more Americans than any other terrorists before 9/11 — live among us here in the U.S. homeland. At least 21 Hezbollah-linked cases prosecuted by the Justice Department since al Qaeda’s attacks a decade ago make that evident.
Hezbollah hates Israel and the Jewish state’s top ally, America. So we must be on guard for attacks as tensions rise over Iran’s aggressive pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
As chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, I convened a hearing last week to examine potential threats to our homeland from Iran and Hezbollah, given the very real possibility that a strike on Iran could result in retaliation against the United States.
The committee received testimony from former senior Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Treasury Department officials, as well as from the New York Police Department’s director of intelligence analysis.
Most disturbingly, we learned from our own preliminary investigation before the hearing — and then from the witnesses — that there are hundreds of Hezbollah operatives already inside this country. We also studied Hezbollah’s ties with drug cartels that routinely penetrate our borders with an acute awareness of our security vulnerabilities.
We learned that there are even more Hezbollah-related cases than the 21 publicly identified by the government since 9/11. Several of the public cases involved multiple defendants, including many with Hezbollah military training and combat experience in Lebanon.
This should be concerning. Hezbollah was founded by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Lebanon in 1982 as a proxy force dedicated to the destruction of Israel. However, from its beginnings, Hezbollah also has drawn American blood.
In 1983, Hezbollah destroyed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 17 Americans. Later that year, it bombed the U.S. Marine barracks there, killing 241 servicemen.
In the 1980s, Hezbollah bombed, hijacked and kidnapped U.S. personnel throughout the Middle East and Europe. They murdered U.S. airmen, a sailor, a Marine officer and the Central Intelligence Agency’s Beirut station chief.
Hezbollah attacks on the U.S. military continued into the 1990s: 19 U.S. airmen were killed in Hezbollah’s alleged bombing of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996, including one of my constituents.
Hezbollah also backed Shiite militias blamed for killing many U.S. troops in Iraq.
Hezbollah displayed its firepower in Lebanon in its 2006 war with Israel. Iran and Syria arm Hezbollah to the teeth, in defiance of the United Nation’s efforts to pacify Lebanon.
As it becomes more and more evident that a war between Iran and Israel — or even the United States — is an undeniable possibility, we must ready ourselves for the consequences here on U.S. soil.
Likely scenarios include Hezbollah rocket strikes on Israel as well as attacks on U.S. diplomatic and military outposts overseas. However, as chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, I also have a duty to consider the possibility of terror here at home.
Hezbollah inside our borders has thus far primarily focused on fundraising and drug smuggling. However, Hezbollah operatives, trained by Iran in clandestine tradecraft, undoubtedly present a challenge for the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and local law enforcement that is more complex than the hunt for al Qaeda.
Would Hezbollah’s fundraisers and smugglers become operationally active terrorists in the event of war? We don’t know for sure.
But last October, Hezbollah’s patrons in the IRGC sought to assassinate the Saudi ambassador here by bombing a crowded Washington restaurant with aid from Hezbollah’s partners in the drug cartels. Moreover, testimony by the NYPD witness at last week’s hearing revealed that Iranian “diplomats” were caught six times since 2002 engaging in hostile surveillance of potential terror targets in New York.
Hezbollah has killed more than 300 Americans overseas since 1982. We now know that Hezbollah is also present and active in the U.S. homeland in large numbers, even as Iran’s actions inside this country are increasingly provocative.
As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, we must remain alert about Iran and Hezbollah’s threat, both abroad and at home. As history has unfortunately demonstrated, we cannot afford to neglect a lethal and evolving danger.

King is the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.

Probe reveals New Black Panther ties to Hezbollah

Probe reveals New Black Panther ties to Hezbollah

March 31, 2012
Two separate investigations into the New Black Panthers have been conducted this month, one in response to charges of homegrown terrorism and the other in response to the group's placing a bounty on the head of George Zimmerman, the alleged shooter of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
The results of the twofold probe, one of which was released yesterday, reveals New Black Panther ties to the Middle East terrorist group Hezbollah.
Congressman Peter King, R-NY, has been investigating Hezbollah's activities within the United States as part of a Congressional probe into homegrown terrorism. King is Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security. Part of the results of his investigation can be read here.
On the heels of King's report came another significant development yesterday as a researcher who works with retired General Paul Vallely, a former Fox News analyst, issued a separate report, published here, which exposes significant collaboration between Hezbollah and the New Black Panthers.
The report states,
The springboard of Hezbollah has bearing with regard to the deep ties to people within the Black Panthers Party and the New Black Panther Party and their later affiliation with terror organizations such as Hezbollah. It is important to understand that while there are two distinct names, the doctrine, and the mission and in many cases the same people have been carried over by name and relationships over the years. The Black Panthers, like the New Black Panthers Party, have a Marxist doctrine and have merged much of the common objectives and like minded attitudes to Islam.
David Horowitz of Front Page Magazine and Discover the Networks has provided further in depth information on Hezbollah, the Black Panthers, and the New Black Panthers here, here, and here.
The central issue that can be gleaned from the various probes into the connections between the New Black Panthers and Hezbollah is the failure on the part of Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice to hold these groups accountable for their actions, the latest of which is the bounty placed on the head of George Zimmerman.
Holder had previously dropped the charges of felony voter intimidation against the New Black Panthers in a case that drew national scrutiny in 2008 when members of the group were videotaped swinging clubs and billy sticks at voters outside a polling place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
When the history of the New Black Panthers, the Black Panthers, Hezbollah, the Nation of Islam, and high profile members of the Obama Administration are considered within the broad spectrum of long standing connections, advocacy, and legal maneuvering, many observers contend that it is not difficult to understand why Holder would be quick to drop the charges against the New Black Panthers in the voter intimidation case.
It would also explain, say critics, why Holder has failed to launch an investigation into the group's statements and activities in the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida.
Holder, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and others within this exclusive circle such as Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates all share a common long standing history of close associations with dubious figures in the underground movement involving Black Muslims, the New Black Panthers, the Nation of Islam, the Black Panther Party, Hezbollah, and Hamas.
The names of major figures within this underground movement invariably come to the surface when delving into the background of Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Professor Gates, and others involved in the darker side of left wing politics--Eldridge Cleaver, H. Rap Brown, Malik Shabazz, Abdul Alim Musa, Khalid Abdul Muhammad, Carlos Torres, and Marilyn Buck.
The latter two, Torres and Buck, were recently released from federal prison after Holder quietly implemented a policy of granting freedom to terrorists. Buck had been a member of the Weathermen along with Obama associates Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, and had participated in homegrown terror during the 1960s and 70s. She had also maintained membership in the Black Liberation Army and the Black Panthers.
As this report from Yahoo News shows, the reasons the DOJ provided for the release of Buck from prison drew sharp criticism from those familiar with the case.
