WASHINGTON - A Kenyan man who federal prosecutors say researched Delta flights and Atlanta’s tallest skyscraper as part of a 9/11-style terror plot has been sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison.

What we know: Cholo Abdi Abdullah, 34, was sentenced after a jury convicted him in November 2024 of conspiring to support the terrorist group al-Shabaab and plotting to hijack a commercial aircraft and crash it into a building in the United States. Court records show Abdullah specifically researched flights linked to Atlanta and focused on the Bank of America Plaza, a 55-story downtown tower, during his attack planning.

Expect this type of thing to continue for another 20 or 30 years based on the number of terrorists who simply walked across the border with zero vetting or monitoring under the Biden Administration.

Convicted in November 2024 and just sentenced? What a system!

I fly to attend funerals. That’s it. The security is a hassle as everyone is treated as a potential Arab male terrorist. The TSA in politically correct.

I hoped the system would improve with Real ID. That has yet to be the case.

Why doesn’t mass murder merit the death penalty? He’ll be an expensive danger and will Islamicize/radicalize prisoners who will be released and act on his teaching.
