FBI Knew About One Of The San Bernardino Terrorists In Advance But Allowed Her To Roam Free In America


Tweet from Reuters' Twitter page indicates the FBI had terrorists under surveillance, who were in telephonic communication with, Tashfeen Malik, who is one of the terrorists from the San Bernardino terrorist attack that occurred on December 2, 2015 at a disability center, killing 14 and wounding 20

The FBI has again let a radicalized person communicating with terrorists roam free in America, to terrible results, leading to the deaths of innocent people. Previously, the FBI watched as Nidal Hasan became radicalized in email exchanges with a terrorist cleric. Hasan then murdered innocent people at the Fort Hood military base in Texas. The FBI also had advance information on terrorists Anwar Al Awlaki and Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab (among others), but engaged in negligent conduct that allowed them to commit acts of terrorism.


Tashfeen Malik

Press reports on Reuters today reveals, the FBI was aware of one of the shooters in the San Bernardino terrorist attack, prior to the massacre occurring, as having communicated with terrorists. Tashfeen Malik, the 29-year-old wife of fellow terrorist Sayed Farook, was in America on a marriage visa and actively communicating with terrorists in her native Pakistan, over the phone. Malik has been linked to Pakistan's most notorious cleric, Maulana Aziz of the Red Mosque. On the day of the terrorist attack, Malik pledged her allegiance to ISIS on her Facebook page.

Farook met Malik when he spent many months in Pakistan. It is now also believed he received terrorist training while there. Over the past several years, in reading U.S. and international legal indictments by western governments, to write articles for this column on news events, the charging documents in terrorism cases reveal the criminals leaving their home nation in the west, going to the Middle East for many months, then returning to commit acts of jihad. There exists a pattern of behavior in this regard.

Family Of Terrorist Wrongly Blames Depression Rather Than Islam For His Acts Of Jihad


Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez

The family of terrorist Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, who shot and killed four U.S. Marines at a Chattanooga Navy Operational Support Center, is claiming he was suffering from depression and blaming the condition for his murderous acts. This caused offense among many, as most depressed people do not resort to acts of violence and murder.


Abdulazeez was a terrorist, Muslim extremist carrying out Jihad, as described in the Koran. Abdulazeez was indoctrinated in the ways of terrorism by cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who also led others astray, such as terrorists Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (the underwear bomber) Richard Reid (shoe bomber) Nidal Hasan and the September 11th bombers, among others.

Fort Hood Killer Sentenced To Death Over Texas Military Base Killings


Nidal Hasan

Former army psychiatrist and secret jihadist, Nidal Hasan, has been found guilty of the cold-blooded murder of 13 people at the Fort Hood base. 30 additional people were wounded during the unconscionable surprise attack. Under Texas law, he has been given the death penalty for his crimes of mass murder. Hasan knew exactly what he was doing. This was no accident. He destroyed and altered the course of many lives. What Hasan has done hasn't proven anything.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Is Publicly Threatening To Destroy President Obama

Arpaio Has Been Working Behind The Scenes To Bring Him Down

Barack Obama: somebody send the Secret Service to shut Barney Fife up!

Joe Arpaio, who proclaims himself "America's toughest sheriff" is after President Barack Obama. The anti-immigration sheriff is retaliating against the Obama administration for bringing a case against him, over laws enacted in the state of Arizona where Arpaio works.

Arpaio stated, "I’m not going after the president to keep him off a ballot or anything else, but that could happen. I’m going at it strictly as a law-enforcement guy investigating a possible forgery and fraud. I’m sticking with that, but I’ll tell you one thing. We got tons of other information that could be very shocking, too, but I’m sticking now with just the [forgery] investigation and possible criminal violations.”

Joe Arpaio: I'm gonna deport Obama!

To get back at the Commander-in-Chief, Sheriff Arpaio, began using his law enforcement connections to investigate Obama, who he states was not born in America, making him ineligible to be President of the United States. Arpaio better be careful, as Obama is wiping his butt with the Constitution and might have him picked off, having the Secret Service pop a few caps in his butt. Obama already turned American Anwar Awlaki into Souflaki. You could be next (*singing* "How do I, say goodbye...").

Why Did The FBI Let A Notorious Terrorist Go?


FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

Why did the FBI let Al Qaeda cleric Anwar Awlaki go in October 2002, when they had him in custody with demonstrable evidence he is a terrorist. Awlaki, the 40-year-old American born cleric that indoctrinated and instructed individuals in undertaking terrorist attacks on Fort Hood, a Detroit bound airliner and Times Square, has become the most prolific criminal in the Al Qaeda outfit, since Osama Bin Laden. They even look alike.

His terror rants and writings online, became an instrumental tool in turning law abiding Muslims into terrorists. He also knows America well, as the Santa Fe, New Mexico native was raised in the States, making him more useful to Al Qaeda in attacking the nation.

Questions need to be asked as to how and why the FBI got it so wrong. It was also revealed Awlaki was invited to the White House in 2002, with the FBI’s parent agency, the DOJ, praising him in writing.

Anwar Awlaki

This is after it was discovered Awlaki knew three of the September 11th terrorist hijackers. This is also after it was discovered Awlaki has a criminal record for prostitution and loitering around a school (Pedo anyone).

Ah, the FBI is living up to its reputation again of getting it wrong. They are a very poor judge of character. Who they are supposed to lock up, they let go. Who they are supposed to commend, they harass and try to kill (see: Martin Luther King jr).

If only FBI headquarters worked for Al Qaeda. Then the terrorist group would descend into chaos, fumble terror attempts, ineptly attack each other instead of enemies, ignore all warning signs of impending trouble and waste money. America would be so much safer. Hey, maybe Al Qaeda will trade their weapons and bombs in exchange for FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller. It’s not like he’d be missed at the agency.

The Press Begin To Guess Osama's Successor


Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri

The world press is actively guessing, who will be Osama Bin Laden's successor as Al Qaeda chief, now that the terrorist has been killed and dumped at sea by U.S. forces in Pakistan. Speculation is rife in an uncomfortable guessing game, which serves as a terrible reminder the conflict is not over.

Anwar al Awlaki reportedly survived military strikes on his home. How come his clothes are so well pressed and sparkling and he is on the run.

Many are stating it will be Osama's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahri, who is probably senile of a mature age. It seems to me, Anwar al Awlaki, has been Al Qaeda's most useful and effective asset, turning a number of once docile university students into misguided, brainwashed, cold-blooded murderers, waging Jihad in the world.

Lunch With A Terrorist


Anwar al-Awlaqi

In the days proceeding the September 11th terrorist attacks, the U.S. Pentagon invited Anwar al-Awlaqi to lunch at the Pentagon. You know, the same guy that is now leading Al Qaeda. It's hard to believe he was without any terrorist leanings at that point in time, which begs the question, how did the Pentagon not know it. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Fort Hood Failures Explored

Nidal Malik Hasan

The U.S. Government is currently conducting an investigation into the law enforcement failures that led to 13 people being murdered at the Fort Hood army base, by Islamic radical, Nidal Malik Hasan.

Thus far, the public knows, the incompetent Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did not correctly interpret the emails they had in their possession, revealing U.S. Major Nidal Malik Hasan had become a radicalized time bomb.

Hasan was enquiring with one of the world's most vicious hatemongers, Anwar Awlaki, on violence against American civilians and soldiers, yet the FBI didn't piece that transparent little puzzle together and bring him in. The unedited emails need to be released to the public.

It is also being stated via additional findings, several army member failed report Hasan's disturbing statements, such as comparing suicide bombers to heroes.

Some in Washington have tried to push the excuse that everyone in government is responsible, to shield the negligent from blame and job termination. However, it is highly irresponsible. The FBI is the agency most to blame, as they had disturbing, extremist emails by Hasan, in their possession for well over 6 months and did nothing about it.

The FBI is America's first line of defense against terrorists and leaving the same individuals in their posts that allowed this devastating tragedy via criminal negligence, is inviting future failures of the same order that could cost more innocent people their lives. The FBI is not up to the task at hand.

Fort Hood Shooting Report: Warning Signs Were 'Missed' and 'Ignored'

Eight Officers Could Be Disciplined; Gates Calls Failures 'Significant' - Jan. 15, 2010 - The Pentagon gave itself a harsh assessment in the aftermath of the Fort Hood shootings, and could pursue disciplinary action against several officers who "failed to comply" with policies in place to get rid of officers who were unfit.

In an 86-page report released Friday, Defense Department investigators determined that the procedures in place meant to head off violent behavior are "outdated" and "incomplete."

The review commissioned by Defense Secretary Robert Gates called the failures "significant" and "in need of immediate attention."...

Anwar Awlaki: I'm Alive

Anwar al Awlaki

Terrorist imam, Anwar Awlaki, released a message claiming he is alive. If he's alive, the government needs to go catch him and find out what he knows. A lot of vital informant would be found out.

He should hope the F.B.I. catches him, because if it's the C.I.A. they are going to do to him what Michael Vick did to those dogs.

Anwar al Awlaki (right) last month

Awlaki is claiming he is not connected with Al Qaeda, yet his name keeps popping up in terrorist attacks, such as 9/11, Fort Hood and the attempted Christmas Day bombing of an NWA-Delta airline flight.

Why was he connected to the 9/11 bombers, the Fort Hood killer and the NWA Christmas Day bomber. You are the common thread that binds these people. If you are innocent, prove it - go in for questioning at the nearest F.B.I. field office.

'I'm Alive,' Says Yemen Radical Anwar Awlaki Despite U.S. Attack

Denies Ties to al Qaeda As U.S. Officials Probe His Ties to Christmas Day Bomb Attempt and Fort Hood Shooting

Dec. 31, 2009 - A week after U.S. and Yemeni officials said the radical Yemen cleric Anwar Awlaki may have been killed in a U.S.-backed Christmas eve air strike, a Yemeni journalist says Awlaki has surfaced to proclaim, "I'm alive."

"He said the house that was attacked was two or three kilometers away from him and he was not there," the journalist, Abdulelah Hider Shaea, told ABC News. He said he talked to Awlaki on the phone and recognized his voice from previous interviews...

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Awlaki is "emerging as the central focus" of the attempted Christmas Day bombing of a Northwest flight over Detroit.

Awlaki denies he is part of al Qaeda and told the Yemeni journalist, in an interview published in the Washington Post, that while he considered Major Hasan "a hero" he did not pressure him to take any action...

Ties Between Abdulmutallab And Awlaki Solidified

Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab as a teen

As the investigation into the attempted bombing of an NWA-Delta airplane on Christmas Day continues, sources are uncovering ties between failed suicide bomber, Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab and imam, Anwar al Awlaki, who also communicated with and influenced Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan.

Nidal Malik Hasan

People in Yemen have publicly claimed, Anwar al Awlaki, was not killed during a raid on Christmas Eve, but other Al Qaeda members were in the bombing.

Terrorists Seek To Rule The World By Violence

Osama Bin Laden

Terrorist, Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, harbored Jihad fantasies, which he posted on a Muslim message board, prior to his attempt at bombing an NWA-Delta airlines plane on Christmas Day.

Anwar al Awlaki

In a disturbing post AbdulMutallab wrote, "I won’t go into too much details about my fantasy, but basically they are Jihad fantasies. I imagine how the great jihad will take place, how the Muslims will win (Allah willing) and rule the whole world, and establish the greatest empire once again."

Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab

His online comments reveal the mindset many terrorists are operating under, as they seek to rule the world with Islam, via the use of violence, under the terrible convert or be killed rule. They seek to conquer the world via bloodshed, obliterating all others that do not believe in Islam and its ways.

This refusal to peacefully dwell on Earth with others that do not share their views, poses a terrible threat to Western democracies and international peace as well. They view all other religions as the enemy that must be wiped out by violence.

'Lonely bomber' in his own words: What Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab wrote about his family, sex ... and his love of Liverpool FC

And there are chilling hints of the deadly role he was to play following his terror training in Yemen earlier this year.

He wrote: ‘I won’t go into too much details about my fantasy, but basically they are Jihad fantasies. I imagine how the great jihad will take place, how the Muslims will win (Allah willing) and rule the whole world, and establish the greatest empire once again.’

...‘I am of the view meat not slaughtered by Muslims … is haram [forbidden] for consumption unless necessary,’ he wrote. ‘My parents are of the view as foreigners, we are allowed to … eat any meat.

‘It occured [sic] to me I should not be eating with my parents as they use meat I consider haram. But I fear this might cause division and other complicated family problems.’...

Al Qaeda: It Was A Retaliatory Attack

Video: Al-Qaeda: US plane bomb plot revenge for Yemen operations - RT

Yesterday, Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attempted Christmas Day bombing of a Detroit bound plane, pronouncing it a retaliatory attack for a U.S./Yemen raid that killed 30 of their terrorists.

Three days ago, on December 25, 2009 in the Christmas Bombing Averted At U.S. Airport article, the Judiciary Report did write of the belief the Christmas Day bombing attempt in Detroit, was in relation for the Yemen/U.S. government sponsored raid that left 30 Al Qaeda members dead. This was confirmed yesterday, via Al Qaeda accepting responsibility for the Christmas Day airline bombing attempt.

Anwar al Awlaki

Terrorist often speak of revenge for perceived wrongs and it didn’t take much to connect the dots on that one, as one of their top men and poster boys, Anwar al Awlaki, was reportedly killed.

Al-Qaeda says attack was its retaliation

Posted on Tue, Dec. 29, 2009 - It cited U.S. actions in Yemen. The suspect was reported there from summer to early December.

WASHINGTON - Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility yesterday for the Christmas Day attack on a Northwest Airlines jet, saying it was retaliation for a U.S. operation against the group in Yemen. Officials in Yemen said suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had spent time there until earlier this month.

In a statement posted on the Internet, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said Abdulmutallab, 23, a Nigerian, had coordinated with members of the group, an alliance of extremists based in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Yemeni forces, helped by U.S. intelligence, carried out two air strikes against al-Qaeda operatives this month - the second one a day before Abdulmutallab allegedly tried to bring down Northwest Flight 253 from Amsterdam as it prepared to land in Detroit...

The family promised to cooperate with Nigerian and U.S. authorities.

"We, along with the whole world, are thankful to almighty God that there were no lives lost in the incident," the statement read. "May God continue to protect us all, amen."

RussiaToday

December 29, 2009 - Al Qaeda claims to be behind a failed attack on an American passenger jet which was travelling from Amsterdam to Detroit. Allegedly, it was in retaliation for a U.S. operation against the terror group in Yemen. But investigative journalist Webster Tarpley says the Nigerian who had attempted the attack is a puppet in far-reaching U.S. plans.

U.S. Terrorist Lists In Terrible State Of Disarray

Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab

The Judiciary Report, like many other members of the public, struggles to comprehend how a terror suspect, Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, can be on a terrorist watch list, but be conspicuously absent from a no fly list.

His father, Alhaji Mutallab, a high ranking Nigerian government minister and former head of a bank, proclaimed his son a danger to America, as he had become radicalized, formally reported it to the U.S. Embassy and they clearly ignored it.

A man of his stature, a decorated civil servant, reports his own son and you didn't put him on the no fly list. He specifically warned you his son posed a danger to America. How much more specific did you want the warning to be, in order for you to do something about it. Do you know how much it takes for a parent to turn in a child, yet you took it lightly.

Alhaji Mutallab

Clearly Britain thought something was amiss regarding, Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, as they refused to renew his Visa, banning him from the country. Yet the U.S. government allowed him to fly to America on a U.S. Visa.

Once again, as with Fort Hood, people cannot blame the FBI/DOJ, for the things they do not know, but people can blame them for what they do know and they knew about Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, having been given ample warning six months in advance.

FBI And Homeland Security Terrorist Lists

For many months, the Judiciary Report has criticized the haphazard manner in which the FBI and Homeland Security have compiled and poorly maintained the terrorist lists. The most recent article was on August 17, 2009, where the Judiciary Report warned again four months ago:

...Once again, the FBI and Homeland Security face severe embarrassment over a poorly compiled terrorist watch list that at one point even contained the name of U.S. Senator, Ted Kennedy.

It is an embarrassment to national security that these errors by federal law enforcement continue, as it is logical to reason, if the wrong names are getting on the list, senselessly clogging it up, intel is poor and the right names, the real terrorists, are not getting on the list in a timely manner.

The FBI and co. have disorganized, generalized, unfocused terrorist lists, which have not been optimized, as it even famously contains the names of babies and spouses of U.S. Senators. The list even had the name of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, who was hassled on five occasions when he tried to board airplanes.

Think about that. Senator Ted Kennedy was on a terrorist no fly list, but Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab was not. Clearly the lists are garbage.

Warning Signs Ignored

6 days prior to the NWA-Delta attempted bombing on Christmas Day, Al Qaeda released another message, warning of a forthcoming bombing. The U.S. Government ignored it.

This terrorist thing is above the FBI's head. It's not that the terrorists are smarter, because they are not, but the FBI is mismanaged and buried in bureaucracy. The FBI needs to be replaced with a new national law enforcement agency that can defeat the problems facing America. They are not up to the challenge and something very bad is going to come out of it.

Homeland Security

Is the head of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, in denial or just not able to connect the dots when a crisis arises. She's had one PR flap after another this year and now states she believes Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab acted alone. Yet, passengers from the NWA-Delta flight, are now stating, a man who appeared to be in his 50s attempted to get the terrorist suspect on the plane in Amsterdam with no passport, doing all the talking for him.

Uninvestigated terrorism warning about Detroit suspect called not unusual

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told CNN's "State of the Union" that Abdulmutallab's assertions of al-Qaeda contacts and training in Yemen were being investigated, but that "right now, we have no indication" his actions were "part of anything larger."

http://www.washingtonpost.com

The FBI was making the same lone wolf claims as well, when Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab's dad warned he had disappeared in Yemen, a known terrorist hot bed, used to train radicalized Muslim men:

Attempted airplane bomber might have acted alone: FBI

2009-12-27 04:19:56 - WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- A Nigerian who attempted to set off an explosion device on a Delta international flight might have acted alone, said a Federal Bureau of Investigation official on Saturday.

The official, who spoke on anonymity, told CNN that the suspect, who was identified as Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, has been "talking a lot" to FBI investigators...

http://news.xinhuanet.com

Anwar al Awlaki

In some ways it is regrettable Anwar al Awlaki was reportedly killed without being interrogated. A great deal of information could have been obtained, as he clearly knows items relating to the inner workings of today's most devious terrorist cells.

The man had a Facebook page. The government should have traced the source updating it, which would have led to Awlaki and brought him in. He's had a hand in so much terrorism, almost eclipsing Osama in what he represents to Jihadists, yet he was never detained.

American law needs to be changed, as radicalized individuals are calling for Jihad in the United States, with no legal penalty. If calling for Jihad was made illegal in America, law enforcement could easily pick up certain individuals and interrogate them regarding what they know, leading to better intel. Calling for murder is not freedom of speech. That's a death threat.

Britain

U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown

The Judiciary Report, like other sites, has expressed in past articles, the serious threat radicalized Muslims pose. They gravitate to Britain, as the nation is quite civil, has many human rights and is a pretty place to live, where one can easily get financial assistance from the government in the form of benefits.

Muslim extremists have taken advantage of that and set up shop in Britain, whose efforts to make different cultures feel welcome, is being exploited by criminals abusing the system to wage Jihad.

Britain has made good strides in deporting those in their midst that call for Jihad, but there is still an element there, subversively indoctrinating university students and disadvantaged youth, who are at a critical, young age and seeking direction.

Here's hoping the British government will ramp up efforts to plant undercover officers in universities, to smoke out such threats, as they pose a great danger to your innocent children seeking to get an education. Britain must fight to keep its identity and shores safe.

Obama Orders Review of Airport Screening

Face the Nation: Spokesman Robert Gibbs Says Obama Wants Review of Watch List Procedures and Detection Capabilities

President Obama has called for a review of watch lists and screening procedures at airports in the wake of attempted terrorist attack to blow up a Delta/Northwest flight on Christmas Day, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on CBS' "Face The Nation" on Sunday.

"The president has asked for two reviews to take place as a result of this potential terrorist attack," Gibbs said. "The first is a watch listing review… so we want to ensure that all of the information that needs to go to decision makers gets to where it needs to go. The president has asked for a review of the procedures that in some cases are several years old."

Gibbs also said the suspect was on a list of 550,000 people rather than the selectee or the no-fly lists, which encompass about 18,000 people. Gibbs said although the suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was on the larger list, there was not enough information to put him on the smaller lists.

Jet Bomb Ordered By 9/11 Spiritual Leader

Sunday December 27,2009 - AN AL QAEDA commander whose messages have been promoted at British mosques and universities was last night named as the inspiration for the Friday’s failed US bomb plot.

Yemen-based cleric Anwar al Awlaki, a spiritual leader of the 9/11 hijackers and of Fort Hood gunman Major Nidal Hasan, was said to be the man who demanded the attack on the Detroit-bound jet.

Senior Republican congressman Pete Hoekstra said that according to his US intelligence sources, Awlaki and the failed bomber, University College London student Umar Abdulmutallab, had been in touch with each before Friday’s flight.

The 38-year-old cleric is believed to have been the target of a US-backed Yemeni air strike last week. Security sources believe the military assault was launched after American, Yemeni and Saudi intelligence services discovered major terror plots against Western targets.

Initial reports suggested that Awlaki and dozens of other Al Qaeda operatives were killed, but his allies claim he survived.

If his links to the Northwest Airlines bomb are confirmed, it will again expose the increasing threat of radicalisation on Britain’s university campuses.

Although an inspiration for mass murder, the American born imam is a hero to Islamic student societies throughout Britain.

He is invited regularly to send video messages to students who believe he is a devout man of peace...
