More Jailbird Jihadis

Lather, rinse, repeat: it seems like a never ending cycle. Has anyone taken a look at the number of American jihadis who converted to jizzlam while in jail? Or should we focus even more sharply and also see how many of them are black? Seems to be mighty commonplace to me. Of course, that would be profiling, wouldn’t it? And racist! Yeah, and the sin would be even worse because it would turn out to be >95% accurate. Bad Drew. Bad bad bad. Raaaaaaacist!

[12/8/2011] One-half of a duo charged with planning a terrorist attack on a Seattle military installation pleaded guilty to federal charges Thursday.

Walli Mujahidh’s guilty plea to charges, including conspiracy to murder officers and agents of the United States and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, will help him avoid a life sentence.

Mujahidh, 32, and Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif were charged with plotting to use assault rifles to attack the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) on Seattle’s East Marginal Way.

A sting operation conducted by the Joint Terrorism Task Force foiled the plot in June.

[06/24/2011] The defendants initially planned an attack on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, but later changed targets. The defendants intended to carry out their attack with both grenades and assault rifles.

Law enforcement began monitoring Abdul-Latif (aka Joseph Anthony Davis) and Mujahidh (aka Frederick Domingue, Jr.) on June 6, after being tipped off by a confidential source.

The informant, who has a criminal record, was approached by Abdul-Latif as a recruit to join the plot and supply weapons to the conspirators, according to charging papers.

[12/08/2011] The pair is charged with conspiracy to murder officers and employees of the United States, conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, and possession of firearms in furtherance of crimes of violence. Abdul-Latif is also charged with two counts of illegal possession of firearms.

Abdul-Latif was scheduled to face trial next May.

Prosecutors did not divulge how the suspects became acquainted, though Mujahidh formerly lived in Seattle. He was convicted in municipal court of violating a domestic violence protection order stemming from a 2007 incident.

Mujahidh voluntarily spoke with investigators after the arrests and confessed, according to the federal complaint against them. The pair initially planned an attack on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, but later shifted to what they considered an easier target, the complaint said.

Abdul-Latif, 33, has a criminal record and a troubled family past, but allegations that he plotted a terrorist attack surprised those who knew him.H

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
