Texas News: Refugee Indicted on plot to bomb Houston Malls

Posted on 15 January 2016 by The Tactical Hermit

This article speaks VOLUMES about the current immigration policies of this administration; I mean the PROOF is in the Pudding as they say, or in this case, in a homemade bomb.-SF

A Muslim refugee was denied bail Wednesday in a Houston federal courtroom for plotting to bomb two local malls and pledging allegiance to ISIS.

Federal officials testified that Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, 24, planned to remotely detonate bombs at Houston’s Sharpstown and Galleria Malls. Authorities also said Al Hardan wanted to blow up vehicles at a military base in Grand Prairie, Texas.

“I am against America,” Al Hardan said to his wife in a recorded conversation in 2014 that prosecutors read aloud in the courtroom.“I will go to Syria. I am not wacko. I am not wacko. I am speaking the truth. I want to blow myself up.”

Al Hardan faces three felony charges of procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully, attempting to provide materiel support to ISIS, and making false statements. He pled not guilty.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes heard testimony from Homeland Security Special Agent Herman Wittliff, who described Al Hardan’s plan to use cell phones as electronic transmitters to detonate explosives hidden in trash cans at the Houston malls. Authorities found a collection of cell phones in his apartment. In testimony Wednesday, authorities said Al Hardan had been buying parts on eBay.

When asked why Al Hardan was gathering parts, Agent Wittliff said, “So he could kill people.”

A confidential informant also reported that Al Hardan trained with an AK-47 at a farm outside of Houston, something that Al Hardan denied to federal authorities when interviewed.

The three-count indictment describes Al Hardan as a Palestinian national born in Iraq, who entered the United States as a refugee in 2009. He was granted Legal Permanent Residence status in 2011 and was applying for U.S. citizenship. Al Hardan lived in a two-bedroom apartment in Houston with his wife, parents and his 10-month-old son. TheHouston Chronicle reported that the family was receiving food stamps.

Prosecutors claim that Al Hardan was communicating via Facebook with another refugee from Iraq who was living in California. Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab was also arrested last week and faces charges that he traveled to Syria to fight with an ISIS-affiliated group in 2013 and 2014. He is also charged with lying to authorities about those trips. Al-Jayab came to America in 2012 and lived in both Tucson Arizona and Milwaukee, Wisconsin before moving to Sacramento, California.

Al-Jayab promised Al Hardan he would give him weapons training and help him get assigned to a fighting squadron in Syria. Court records say that in one message Al-Jayab told Al Hardan, “O God, grant us martyrdom for your sake while engaged in fighting and not retreating; a martyrdom that would make you satisfied with us.”

The Wednesday hearing for Hardan came the day after President Obama lectured Republicans in his final State of the Union address saying, “When politicians insult Muslims…that doesn’t make us safer.”

When Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was told about the arrests last week, he said “I commend the law enforcement for apprehending these two individuals, but their apprehensions raise the immediate question: Who else is there? What are they planning next?” Cruz is currently a leading contender for the GOP presidential nomination, where his chief opponent is Donald Trump, who famously called for a temporary halt on Muslim travel to the United States. Cruz has called for a review of refugees.

Al Hardan’s older brother Saeed Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, claimed in an interview with the Associated Press that he believes Omar is innocent. The older Al Hardan also lives in Houston and told the AP “Nobody likes ISIS at all. Nobody supports ISIS at all.”

The State of Texas recently sued the federal government over its plan to resettle Syrian refugees, citing security concerns.

    That is one of many reasons, I want Trump as President.
    Being politically correct can be deadly to cities, states and even the entire country.
    And, yes, even the Moderate Muslims. Why? They know who the or where the terrorists are.

    Have you ever read or heard of a time that any Musims turned people in who were plotting to bomb a city, or chop off people’s heads, or rape?

    Have you ever heard Moderate Muslims leak the information to the police in any town that guns, bombs, etc. are kept in their Mosques?

    I am with Trump on this 100%. Shut them down from coming to the USA. No Mosques in this country at all.

    Yeah this is the islamic MO: “JIHAD BY MIGRATION”….this plan is working like gangbusters in Europe right now: you can multiply this incident times half a million or more and maybe get a small glimpse of what is brewing there….and if BHO has his way, which he is, by letting tens of thousands of these POS into the country, it will work here too.

    I reject the argument that so many people are saying (both libs and neo-cons) “This is not how America should be, we should not reject people just because of race or religion, I mean look at how this country was formed, if we had been that way then, we would not be a country..” The big problem with this argument is that is not remotely the same type of situation..the people that came here at the turn of the 20th century came here for a better life, to work hard and prosper if they could…these muslim jihadist are coming here to steal, kill and destroy our way of life..they hate us…they want to establish their “caliphate”..are all of them coming to do that? No, but history and probability have shown we cannot roll the dice with that issue…it’s clear cut. You want to lessen the chance for something like this happening? Stop the influx of muslim “refugees”.

    You can feel free to express your opinion on any candidate you choose…but as for me, I try to stay detached from politics and politicians, it just makes me feel dirty….:(
