Took until 2022 to label it a terrorist group.
Probably got tax exemptions and federal aid as an educational and charitable organization up to then.

The Boston Marathon bomber’s extended family shared in the hundreds of thousands of welfare and other aid money we paid them in our tax money for years. Indirectly paid for the detonation devices and bombs that blew up a young boy and took off the legs of adults.
Rolling Stone gave a cover story with an attractive photo that made him look like a rock star. Sheesh.

My question is why didn’t the FBI gun him down? I guess he likely was on the FBI payroll.

More info
https://www.phillymag.com/news/2023/08/14/qawi-abdul-rahman/
The investigation began in March, when the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force allegedly found communications between the Syrian-based terrorist group Katibat al Tawhid wal Jihad and the juvenile on Instagram. On August 6th, claim prosecutors, he changed his WhatsApp profile photo to an image of the ISIS banner. Krasner’s office says the juvenile received messages telling him how to build IEDs and that on August 7th, an FBI surveillance team observed him buying some of the items needed to build IEDs, along with tactical gear. The next day, U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed to the FBI that more than a dozen international shipments of military and tactical gear had been sent to the juvenile’s home.

From same article
Several sources have alleged that the person arrested is the son of Abdul-Rahman. On Monday, just after the press conference, I asked Abdul-Rahman via text if the person arrested is, indeed, his son. He called me right away. “You wanna find out what I’m really about?” he told me. “Text or call me one more time, and you’ll find out what I’m really about.”
