• Abdurahman Alamoudi, who worked for the State Department and Pentagon,
where he created the military’s Muslim chaplain corps —
even though he was caught on tape supporting terrorists at anti-Israeli rallies.
He’s now behind bars for terror, exposed as one of al-Qaida’s top fundraisers in the U.S.
• David Hossain Safavian, who got a high-level White House job despite records
showing he lobbied on behalf of Alamoudi.
Safavian is serving an 18-month prison term for lying to federal investigators.
• Faisal Gill, who omitted the fact he worked for Alamoudi
in his application for a high-level Homeland Security Department job,
where he obtained top secret clearance before being suspended.
• Ahmad Al-Halabi, whom the Air Force assigned to Gitmo as a translator
even though he previously had been under investigation
for making anti-American statements. Halabi later pleaded guilty to
mishandling classified information and lying to investigators.
• Ahmed Fathy Mehalba, another Gitmo translator who was
hired as a contractor even though his girlfriend was investigated
for stealing a classified Army laptop. Mehalba later was convicted of
stealing secret documents from Gitmo.
• Sadeq Naji Ahmed, whom the Transportation Security Administration
hired as an airport screener after the Air Force kicked him out for making
statements supporting Osama bin Laden and praising the 9/11 attacks.
Ahmed worked almost a year before TSA found he previously had his security clearance revoked.
• Warith-Deen Umar, hired by the Federal Bureau of Prisons
to minister to Muslim inmates, even though he praised the
9/11 hijackers as Allah’s “martyrs.” Despite reports Umar gave extremist sermons,
the government gave him outstanding evaluations.
Prison officials fired Umar only after the press exposed his al-Qaida sympathies.
Only last year they started taking serious steps to tighten the vetting of Muslim employees.
• Waheeda Tehseen, a Pakistani national who obtained a sensitive position
with the EPA in Washington as a toxicologist even though she was not a U.S. citizen.
