Story about terror case piqued my interest because
of Maryland and drones, by Ann Corcoran 7/18/18.
Did
you follow the case of Mohamed Elshinawy sentenced to 20 years for helping
plan a terror attack on US soil (worked with ISIS and Muslim Brotherhood
abroad)? Elshinawy, an Egyptian, lived in Maryland as he worked with Egyptians
abroad.
One
part of their plans involved using drones as weapons.
I
never did tell you that a guy named Mohammed (not this one!) ‘lost’ a drone on
my farm over a year ago. That is all I am going to tell you, but know
that you need to all follow what is happening with drones (used for fun and for
war). I do.
I spent a few minutes searching around for any information on
Elshinawy’s immigration status, but again one needs a ‘secret decoder ring’ to
figure out how someone, like this convicted Islamic terrorist, came to be in
the US in the first place.
How
are we going to assess which immigration channels to the US are flawed, if
authorities never report which programs allow people like Elshinawy in to the
US?
I’m
going away for about ten days, so sorry that my blogging is spotty and will be
absent starting Friday—no time to really dig in to this story, but wanted you
to know about it.
From
the Clairon Project: FBI Reveals Explosive
Details of Terror Conspiracy - The FBI just released details of what it
describes as a “plan to accept money to fund a terrorist attack in the U.S.
[that] was not a standalone plot—it led
to the uncovering of a broader conspiracy involving an international ISIS
financing network, shady shell companies, and a plan to develop weaponized
drones for use by the terror group.”
The
story was published after District Judge Ellen L. Hollander sentenced Mohamed
Elshinawy, 33, of Edgewood, Maryland, to 20 years in prison. The plea bargain
included admission of guilt to: conspiracy to provide material support to the
Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist
organization; providing and attempting to provide material support to ISIS; terrorism financing; making false statements in connection with a terrorism
matter.
The
following is the full report from the FBI on this shocking story: It was a counterterrorism investigation with
an unusual twist—the suspect in a recent FBI Baltimore case was on the
receiving end of money being transmitted into the United States from foreign
terrorism operatives overseas, rather than the more common occurrence of a
suspect sending money out of the U.S. to benefit a foreign terrorism group
abroad.
And the money, as the suspect understood it, was to help him plan a
terrorist attack on American soil. More here. You
can read the government’s case here.
If
anyone has some time to dig around in the many reports on this case and find
anything about how he got to the US in the first place, send a comment with
that information! It would be much appreciated!
