CAIR Monitoring Boston Terror Plot Investigation; Law Enforcement Sharing Evidence w/Islamic Society

The anti-police movement appears to be influencing how Islamists in Boston are reacting to the shooting of terror suspect Usaama Rahim and the investigation of David Wright. While some Muslim advocates are attempting to spark inner-city angst over the shooting by exploiting recent events in Ferguson, NYC, and Baltimore, others are putting pressure on the police as they investigate the terror plot.

Rahim, the man who was shot by anti-terrorism officers in Boston yesterday, and Wright, the suspect now in custody, were allegedly ISIS-inspired jihadists who had planned to behead a police officer in a plot disturbingly reminiscent of the 2013 incident in which British soldier Lee Rigby was beheaded in broad daylight on a London street.

According to the CBS Boston, investigators shared their video evidence today with local Muslim advocates in a private meeting at Boston Police headquarters. Further, a spokesman from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the group will be monitoring the investigation.

Investigators say they are planning to share their video evidence with the Islamic Society of Boston, local clergy and civil rights advocates Wednesday in a private meeting.

The Council of American-Islamic Relations will monitor the investigation, spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said.

“We have a number of questions,” Hooper said. “Why exactly was he being followed? What was the probable cause for this particular stop? Were there any video cameras or body cameras of the incident? How do you reconcile the two versions of the story, the family version being that he was on his normal commute to work at a bus stop?”

Rahim’s brother, Ibrahim Rahim, had said in a Facebook post that his youngest brother was shot in the back while innocently waiting at a bus stop to go to his job.

“He was confronted by three Boston Police officers and subsequently shot in the back three times,” he wrote. “He was on his cellphone with my dear father during the confrontation needing a witness.”

Usaama Rahim’s last words, according to his brother, were supposedly “I can’t breathe!”

Man’s Ex Called Up 3 Guys To Beat Him Down: Cops
The man reportedly told police he and his ex-girlfriend were supposed to “talk it out” before the attack.
By Joseph Hosey (Patch Staff) June 3, 2015

man was viciously beaten by three guys his ex-girlfriend called up to beat him down, police said.

An officer sent to investigate a report of a man who had been “jumped and battered” outside a Streamstown Court home found the man “standing in the street in front of his residence,” police said.

The man was “staggering around and appeared to be very disoriented,” police said. He ”had red and purple blotchy bruises covering his entire face which appeared puffy and swollen, his left eye was swelling shut, his lips were very bloody and his legs were covered in blood, cuts and scrapes.”

The man “then yelled his ex-girlfriend did this to him, stating, ‘She set me up,’” police said. He reportedly identified his ex-girlfriend as 21-year-old Yara Zayed of Orland Hills and claimed she “had three or four of her friends just come over to beat him up.”

The man “explained that (he) and Yara have been having personal issues lately so they decided to talk it out tonight,” police said. He picked her up from her home, brought her to his house and they spoke while parked in his driveway, but “after a short time got into a verbal argument over one of Yara’s guy friends named Robert.”

Zayed struck and scratched the man, police said, and he fled from the car.

“After some time Yara got out of the vehicle and started screaming at” her ex-boyfriend, police said. The man “advised Yara repeatedly told him her friends were coming to beat him up.”

Zayed and her ex-boyfriend continued arguing until a ”red Mercedes pulled into his driveway and almost struck him as he had to jump out of the way,” police said. Three or four men emerged from the car, knocked the ex-boyfriend to the ground and “took turns punching and kicking him.” The man reportedly told officers that his attackers took off “in the red Mercedes with Yara.”

The beaten man reportedly refused a trip to the hospital.

The police tracked Zayed and the three men down at a residence in Orland Hills. All four were taken into custody. Zayed was charged with domestic battery. Her male companions — Rakan Awadalla, 18, of Tinley Park, Omar Khattab, 18, also of Tinley Park, and Robert Knez, 20, of Orland Hills — all were charged with battery.

Zayed was allegedly combative with police after she was taken into custody.

“Yara immediately began swearing at me, calling me ‘bitch’ over and over again,” an officer said, according to a police report. Zayed also allegedly threw her earrings to the ground when asked to remove them and was otherwise uncooperative at the police station.

The same officer said Zayed told her, “don’t touch me,” “you ain’t nobody” and “you think you’re some big bad cop, you ain’t s-—,” according to the report.

The officer also recalled Zayed “repeatedly calling me a ‘pig.’”
