NEW YORK (AP) - A mentally ill British man pleaded guilty Monday to U.S. charges he plotted to set up an al-Qaida training camp on a ranch in a remote part of Oregon that was likened to Afghanistan.

Haroon Aswat admitted he traveled to Bly, Oregon, in 1999 at the direction of Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, a double-amputee and radical cleric based in London. His orders were to help train recruits "who wanted to participate in jihad on behalf of a terrorist organization," he said in a barely audible voice at the sentencing in federal court in Manhattan.

Before pleading guilty to conspiracy and supporting terrorism, the Sheffield, England-born Aswat told U.S. District Judge Katherin Forrest that he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia at 20. The judge ruled that the sentencing could go forward because the defendant was under medical care and showing no symptoms.

Not a lone wolf, but a mentally ill man. Is this going to be the new theme from now on? Mentally ill will describe sharia types?

Wow. So the guy who made "that Muslim comment" at the Trump town hall was right when he asked "What are we going to do about the training camps" in America?

Is the media going to apologize to Trump on this one?

Immigration moratorium for a few years is the step in the right direction to get out of this mess.
