Saudi Citizen Charged in Oklahoma With Concealing
Attendance at Al Qaeda Training Camp
Naif Abdulaziz M. Alfallaj, 34, a citizen of Saudi Arabia and a current resident of Weatherford, Oklahoma, has been arrested for visa fraud, and making false statements to the FBI by, among other things, concealing his application to and attendance at an al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan in late 2000.
Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security Edward C. OCallaghan, Acting U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester of the Western District of Oklahoma and Special Agent in Charge Kathryn Peterson of the FBIs Oklahoma City Division made the announcement.
Based on a criminal complaint signed in the Western District of Oklahoma and unsealed today, Alfallaj was taken into custody by the FBI without incident on February 5. A grand jury returned a three-count indictment against him today. He was arraigned this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Bernard M. Jones and is currently in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
According to the complaint, the FBI found 15 of Alfallajs fingerprints on an application to an al Qaeda training camp, known as al Farooq, which was one of al Qaedas key training sites in Afghanistan. The document was recovered by the U.S. military from an al Qaeda safe house in Afghanistan. The document is also alleged to include an emergency contact number associated with Alfallajs father in Saudi Arabia. Alfallaj is alleged to have first entered the U.S. in late 2011 on a nonimmigrant visa based on his wifes status as a foreign student. According to the complaint, he answered several questions on his visa application falsely, including whether he had ever supported terrorists or terrorist organizations.
The indictment returned today charges two counts of visa fraud. Count One alleges that from March 2012 to the present, Alfallaj possessed a visa obtained by fraud. Count Two alleges he used that visa in October 2016 to apply for lessons at a private flight school in Oklahoma. The third count in the indictment charges Alfallaj with making a false statement to the FBI during a terrorism investigation when he was interviewed and denied ever having associated with anyone from a foreign terrorist group.
If convicted of visa fraud, Alfallaj faces up to ten years in prison on each count. He also faces up to eight years in prison for making a false statement involving international terrorism. Deportation proceedings are expected to commence at the conclusion of these criminal proceedings. Reference is made to the criminal complaint and the indictment for further information. The maximum potential sentences in this case are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge. An indictment is merely an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
This case is the result of an investigation by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, which includes members from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Secret Service, the Transportation Security Administration, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the University of Oklahoma Police Department, the Oklahoma City Police Department, and the Edmond Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matt Dillon and Scott E. Williams of the Western District of Oklahoma and Trial Attorney C. Alexandria Bogle of the National Security Divisions Counterterrorism Section are prosecuting the case.
The first syllabus “How To Taxi, Take Off And Fly Level” is always oversubscribed with muslims.
But they don’t have much interest in the second syllabus “How To Land Safely”.
“He has been in the United States for about seven years and his presence in the United States
only came to the attention of the FBI when he sought pilot training in October 2016.”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A 20 year moratorium on ALL immigration is needed ...
..................
An awful lot of Arabs interested in flying. All that oil money, guess they want to fly around in the desert. Someone needs to tell them they need to land there too.
Holy friggin crap.
I’m going to post this article on all the Trump haters Twitter accounts, all the ones who want open borders like Mark Ruffalo
Oh, come on... He's just a "dreamer." Some liberal judge will cut him plenty some slack...
Wow... Nancy sure would look better if she had darker skin..
Well, duh.
Call Rachel Dolezal for her recipe.
So, like, maybe they were attempting to train up yet another group of hijackers to take over aircraft again??? They could do it in Eurowinnie areas and attack some of the Euro cities, Parismuzziestan (hit the tower, etc.), Berlinmuzziestan, Londonmuzziestan, Brusselsmuzziestan, etc.
'Sleeper cell' mole ?
20 years to start with, then some REALLY strong checks and balances to bring these people in. Like, maybe they actually have some type of job skill, even if it is a skill that we actually have jobs for. We don’t need 20 million pickers in Kaliforniastan gardens and groves. In our town, when you go up to the hospital, nearly every doctor you see has a muslim name. We don’t have many Dr. John Smith’s. But we have a ton of Dr. Mohammed Something the Other. There are at least four cardiologist’s with the first name of “Mohammed.”
This article tells me that we should be alert for a major terrorist attack.
Do you think the Clintons have loyal followers only within the FBI, DOJ, etc.? I don’t. I think they control plenty of foreigners, terrorists, and others who are happy to do their bidding and to attack us and/or President Trump.
I will not go to a muslim doctor.
Yes. Prejudice. It’s a trait humans have evolved in order to keep them alive. Some would call it learning from experience.
Nazi PeeLousy is the wealthiest woman in the Congress.
She and her family live behind fenced and gated complexes guarded by armed security. She and her family do not have to compete with illegals for jobs, nor are they exposed to the crimes committed everyday by illegals throughout the country.
She’s never really held a real job outside of politics and in not a natural born citizen (born in Italy).
She out of touch with the everyday American people (the unwashed masses) and really could care less about us. This is the POS that did not properly vet Obama and foisted that bassturd upon the country giving us the issues and problems that we face today.
She’s a miniature female version of George Soros.
Having her in our Congress is an utter disgrace.
since religious Moslim healthcare females do not wash above their wrists I do not want them in my healthcare process.
