More on the Kosovar Muslim who wanted to kill Floridians. As a reader pointed out yesterday, CAIR knew the suspect. via Terror in Tampa- CAIR Denial :: The Investigative Project on Terrorism.
“We all have to die, so why not die the Islamic way?” Sami Osmakac, a 25-year-old immigrant who plotted a suicide terror attack in Tampa, told a confidential informant. When the informer tried once more to dissuade him from his plans, by asking whether he wanted to get married and have children, Osmakac replied that he would build his family in Paradise.
Osmakac was arrested Saturday night, after receiving nonfunctioning guns and explosives from the FBI and making a martyrdom video. Although he initially planned to blow up a car bomb outside of Tampa’s nightlife district of Ybor City, he altered his plan to avoid being cut short by police patrols around the busy club scene. He currently faces one charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, with the potential of life imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.
Despite Osmakac’s commitment to carry out multiple deadly attacks, CAIR officials went on the offensive against the FBI for capturing another “innocent” Muslim. Trying to create tension between Muslim Americans and law enforcement is part of CAIR’s regular response to government counterterrorism investigations.
Executive Director of CAIR San Francisco Zahra Billoo was quick to paint the arrest as a scam, stating that she was “wondering how much of the thwarted terror plot in Florida was seeded by the FBI, [a]ppreciating that even the MSM mentioned the informants.” Dawud Walid, Executive Director of CAIR-Michigan, released a tweetsaying, “it is not the job of civil rights groups to be commending the FBI on their use of informants, given the FBI’s history.”
The Director of CAIR’s Florida chapter, Hassan Shibley, gave a more lukewarm and confusing response to news of the arrest. Although he stated that Osmakac “was no friend or supporter of the Muslim community” and that the Muslim community had played a “vital role” in his arrest, he also expressed “concern about a perception of entrapment.”
“The weapons and explosives were provided by the government. Was he just a troubled individual, or did he pose a real threat?” said Shibly to the press this morning. As the day progressed, he was quoted casting additional mistrust of the government’s intentions. “I think the fear at the point is that he was just mentally disturbed…I think that community members hoped that by reporting him, he could get the proper assistance,” Shibly explained to MyFoxTampaBay.
The details of the case make plain the intentions of the plotter.
Read it all at the invaluable Investigative Project on Terrorism and some insight on the bogus entrapment whining from terror-linked CAIR, via former MP and DEA agent Fousesquawk:
The fact that the government may or may not have provided requested materials to the suspect (such as bomb-making materials) does not in itself constitute entrapmant. Government or police may “afford the opportunity” for the suspect to carry out a crime as long as predisposition exists. For example, if an undercover cop poses as a passed out drunk in a New York subway, it is not entrapment if a mugger attempts to rob him and then is arrested. A person such as you or I, who is not predisposed to steal, would not try to rob an unconscious drunk. Accordingly, if someone plotting a terrorist attack is attempting to procure explosives, it is not entrapment for an informant or UC to fill that role.Again, predisposition is the key, and it must be documented in such a way as to convince a jury.
Coincidence? The same folks fighting for sharia law in the U.S. are defending jihad suspects and attacking those tasked with protecting us.
