So That's Why the Media Has Barely Covered the Fargo Police Ambush
Townhall ^ | July 23, 2023 | Julio Rosas

Fargo, North Dakota appears to have avoided a serious terrorist attack last week, but sadly, at a great cost. City officers were ambushed by Mohamad Barakat, 37, who was armed with a rifle and almost 2,000 rounds of ammo, while the officers were investigating a routine car crash. 

Officers Jake Wallin, Andrew Dotas and Tyler Hawes were shot by Barakat from about 15 to 20 feet away before they could even reach for their guns. Wallin was killed with Dotas and Hawes were wounded. Officer Zach Robinson was nearby when the attack occurred and killed Barakat during the confrontation.

It has since been revealed Barakat is originally from Syria was allowed into the United States via asylum in 2012. He later became a full citizen in 2019, according to Inforum. While he does not have much of criminal history, only a speeding ticket was found, North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley revealed there was a Guardian report on him.

"Information that we have from our federal partners says he was not on the terrorist watch list, but there was this Guardian report," Wrigley said. "I'm not going to say much about it except it is not, we are told, about a threat of violence or an act of this nature or anything along these lines."

The national media have embargoed this story from the beginning, and even with the information coming out that the shooter had even bigger plans, they're managing to continue to ignore it.

Mildly surprising that no national Republicans have even tweeted about it. Congressional hearing on importing alien Jihadis, anyone?

Is this what a “Guardian Report” is?

“WHAT ARE GUARDIAN’S REPORTS? Your Guardian’s Reports tell the judge how the protected person is doing and how you are performing your guardianship duties. Filing these reports is one of your most important responsibilities as a guardian.”

Protected person? From what?

Likely more FReepers on the list than actual threats from foreign entries.

"...police found three long guns, four handguns, numerous ammo magazines, explosives, canisters with gasoline and a homemade hand grenade in Barakat's car. The investigation has found evidence Barakat was planning to attack another area of Fargo before encountering the responding police officers."

MSM doesn't care because the Perp was Muslim and only white cops were killed or injured......

The only people assigned guardians, to my knowledge, are minors and adults judged incompetent. Since his age is listed as 37, it cannot be the former.

Never heard of this before.

Here’s what the FBI has to say about it:

I assume they’re lying, or not telling the whole truth (which is a form of lie, so I repeat myself). Probably have a lot more names of guys who bought solvent traps than Jihadis.
