A Phoenix-area resident, who is alleged to have been the leader of a group of Al-Qaeda terrorists in Al-Fallujah, Iraq, appeared today before a federal magistrate judge in Phoenix, Arizona in connection with proceedings to extradite him to the Republic of Iraq. He is wanted to stand trial in Iraq for two charges of premeditated murder committed in 2006 in Al-Fallujah.
The arrest was announced by Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Michael Bailey for the District of Arizona.
An Iraqi judge issued a warrant for the arrest of Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri, 42, on murder charges. The Government of Iraq subsequently requested Ahmed’s extradition from the United States. In accordance with its treaty obligations to Iraq, the United States filed a complaint in Phoenix seeking a warrant for Ahmed’s arrest based on the extradition request. U.S. Magistrate Judge John Z. Boyle issued the warrant on January 29, 2020, and Ahmed was arrested the following day.
According to the information provided by the Government of Iraq in support of its extradition request, Ahmed served as the leader of a group of Al-Qaeda terrorists in Al-Fallujah, Iraq, which planned operations targeting Iraqi police. Ahmed and other members of the Al-Qaeda group allegedly shot and killed a first lieutenant in the Fallujah Police Directorate and a police officer in the Fallujah Police Directorate, on or about June 1, 2006, and October 3, 2006, respectively.
The details contained in the complaint are allegations and have not yet been proven in court. If Ahmed’s extradition is certified by the court, the decision of whether to surrender him to Iraq will be made by the U.S. Secretary of State.
Ahmed’s arrest was executed by the FBI Phoenix Field Office, HSI Phoenix Field Office and the U.S. Marshals Service. The extradition case will be handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona and the Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs.

Bet he came in with obunghole’s blessings.
Probably on welfare
“Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.”
Begs the question, how did he get here? If extricated to Iraq he won’t last long. This might make others of his ilk flee the USA for safer pastures.
Ruthlessly trailed by inspector Al-Gerard who is obsessed with his capture
it sure would be nice if we could drone the both of them.
WTF was he doing here?

This is the kind of news I’ve come to expect in Liberal AmeriKa these days. A raghead terrorist, guilty of murder, living in my country with free housing, medical, food stamps, automobile, cell phone, etc. All courtesy of the Krime Kartel of Klinton, jorge busho, and O’Bummer.
He must of taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque.
Shoot, just ten months short of being able to vote!!!
Here’s a really good question:
Why would he choose the United States to hide out in???
(I mean, besides the free healthcare, free food, free driver’s license, you can’t ask because it’s racist, . . . . )
The most interesting thing here is how he got here and the article doesn’t go into that. Therefore I assume the truth would amount to egg all over the .fedgov face.
Is he here as an H1b bomb maker?
Fugitive Wanted by Iraq for Murder of Iraqi Police Officers Arrested in Arizona
The Iraqi Police Officers were Arrested in Arizona?
who writes this stuff? SMH
Maybe he’s enrolled in flight school in Phoenix, learning how to fly a jet aircraft, but not needing courses in take off or landing.
We need to know how he got here. Was he a refugee, did he come across the border illegally.? I’m betting either refugee or family.
A decent country would have an immigration policy that only allowed immigrants who subscribed to this country’s values and wanted to assimilate into our way of life. WTF?
