Lawyer says Chattanooga shooter's uncle detained in Jordan
Fox News ^ | 7/21/15

An uncle of the man who killed four Marines and a sailor in attacks on Tennessee military sites has been in custody in Jordan since a day after the attack, a lawyer said Tuesday.

Abed al-Kader Ahmad al-Khateeb told The Associated Press that he was barred from seeing his client and that family members were also prevented from visiting the detainee. Al-Khateeb identified his client as Asaad Ibrahim Asaad Haj Ali, a maternal uncle of the Chattanooga attacker, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.

A Jordanian government official said Tuesday that some of Abdulazeez's relatives in Jordan were being questioned as part of an investigation into his stay in the kingdom. He would not elaborate on the probe.

The official said he was sure the uncle and "other relevant people" are being questioned, but that he did not know whether he was in detention. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case with the media.

Abdulazeez spent several months in Jordan last year under a mutual agreement with his parents to help him get away from drugs, alcohol and a group of friends his relatives considered a bad influence, according to a person close to his family. That person also spoke on condition of anonymity out of concern it would have business repercussions.

An FBI spokesman has declined to comment on that information.

Jordan is one of the most Westernized countries in the Middle East, with alcohol sold openly. However, the kingdom has also seen the spread of Islamic militant ideas in recent years, especially following the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011.

Perhaps the way they do things in Jordan flies in the face of how our Constitution is SUPPOSED to work, and relations between Jordan and the US and Israel are a bit rough at times, but at least King Abdullah II acts like a true leader to his people.

If we had a government that cared about its citizens the jihadi’s entire family would be detained, pending citizenship stripping and deportation.

The thing about muslims is, you never know when one will go off.

And his daddy was on the terror watch list, and the “shooter” himself travelled to Middle Eastern countries where there is militancy.

But we can’t possibly know his motive.

Must be Tea Party. Yeah, that’s it.

The Chattanooga Muslim shooter has become “old news” quickly now that, within just a few days, an old white shooter took his place in the news. (The latest shooter doesn’t quite fit the Obama narrative since he “liked” what Obama is doing to the country.)
