FBI agents working with the agency's Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested a suspected al Qaeda supporter in late May for plotting to kill newly returning American soldiers in the greater Rochester area. The media first reported on the foiled terrorist plot in early June.
The suspect, Mufid A. Elfgeeh, a US citizen who was born in Yemen, had written on his Twitter feed: "al Qaeda said it loud and clear, we are fighting the American invasion and their hegemony over the earth and people." According to Time Warner Cable Buffalo, Elfgeeh used his Twitter micro-blog to promote funds for "jihadists and for weapons in Syria." Elfgeeh "expressed on numerous occasions his interest in killing American servicemen" returning from war zones, according to Rochester law enforcement authorities.
In an elaborate sting operation, FBI agents arrested Elfgeeh in a Walmart lot as an informant delivered a cache of weapons and ammunition to him. According to an affidavit, the purchased weapons were a "Walther PPK .32-caliber handgun with a functional silencer affixed to the barrel, a Glock 26, 9-millimeter handgun with a functional silencer affixed to the barrel, two boxes of .32-caliber ammunition, and two boxes of 9-millimeter ammunition." The weapons provided to Elfgeeh were non-functional. . .

There are 1200 million Muslims in the world.
25% of them believe in Jihadism according to a study.
USA has 7 million Muslims. Do the math.
Why is there no moratorium on immigration from terrorist related nations or groups?
Did we let wholesale immigration take place from the U.S.S.R., in the cold war days?
We were very sensitive to spys and anti-U.S. types back then. And now...
Hell, any terrorist that wants to can come here freely and set up shop. No worries...
Guess who is holding the southern door wide open for any Al Qaeda member or supporter to walk thru?
come on in my brothers
On the run from Yemen to NY.
Hurry up and lock him away so Obama can release him!
Kid...this mentions Buffalo and Rochester maybe as the arrest site???
There was an active group in Buffalo a few years ago. Do you still hear of them?
A few years ago a nationwide poll was done in Britain of moslems living there.The poll showed that half of them approved of the 9/11 attacks and 1/3 supported the London Underground bombings ("7/7").
Post 911 polls in Pakistan were 75% positive for the success of terror attack on twin towers & pentagon!
Obama is preparing his pardon as this is being written.
Somebody in the US should be setting up roach motels for jihadists in the US. Even a rural police department could take out terrorists, just like they do Internet pedophiles.
All they need is an isolated and difficult to get to cabin, where supposedly some targets that Muslims would want to kill are hanging out. Totally helpless and defenseless.
Then when a carload of murderous Muslims shows up with lots of guns and explosives, there is just an empty cabin, and a bunch of cops with deer rifles concealed on its perimeter.
No particular emphasis on arresting anybody. Just dump them and their vehicle down an old mine shaft, and reset the trap.
Stop right there and close the f'n borders.
This comment from an adherent of a so-called religion (cult, in actuality) that seeks "hegemony over the earth and people."
The irony is so thick, you can cut it with a knife.
There is a jihadi training group that is up the Delaware River from Port Jervis.
This guy could be in real trouble once Governor Cuomo finds out.
