Mohamad Hamad enlisted in the Pennsylvania Air National Guard in 2023 and allegedly made false statements while seeking a top-secret security clearance.

APennsylvania Air National Guardsman, who called himself a "Hamas operative," has been federally charged after allegedly committing vandalism, making explosives, and attempting to obtain a top-secret security clearance.

A federal grand jury in Pittsburgh issued a superseding indictment on Tuesday against Guardsman Mohamad Hamad, 23, of Coraopolis, and two female Pittsburgh residents after Hamad allegedly defaced a synagogue and developed explosives with help from the women.

Hamad enlisted in the state's Air National Guard in 2023 and allegedly made false statements while seeking a top-secret security clearance.

He also allegedly made and detonated pipe bombs and conspired with one of the women who was charged, Micaiah Collins, to build a destructive device, as well as discuss the potential uses for it.

The indictment alleges that Hamad called himself a "Hamas operative" in private messages and mentioned that residents of "white suburbia" might have felt "terror" if they saw him dressed in a mask while ripping up Israeli flags.

Hamad and the other woman, Tayla Lubit, were indicted in November for allegedly vandalizing Jewish religious property with pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist graffiti.

If convicted, Hamad faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, while Collins faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and Lubit faces one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

This piece just shows how stupid we Americans are. Remember the Army Major who killed 13 soldiers on Army base in TX, I rest my case.

He was seeking a TS clearance does not make sense. Someone put him in for one. I

was doing a full field background for a security clearance for an E5 clerk at Walton army hospital. I developed irrefutable evidence he was a drug dealer at the base. Before I concluded the inquiry he deserted to Canada. I asked his commander why the put him in for the clearance. His response was a classic: we knew he was dealing drugs and could not get CID to do anything. So we figured put him in for a clearance and someone would have to do an investigation!!

In one of my periodic background TS investigations for an agency that does not exist, in 2004 it was discovered that someone in Minnesota was using my SSN.

The investigators would not tell me how it was resolved, just said that I would not have to worry about that person stealing my identity.
