Hmmmmm......



José Padilla (born October 18, 1970), also known as Abdullah al-Muhajir or Muhajir Abdullah, is a United States citizen from Brooklyn, New York, who was convicted in federal court of aiding terrorists.

Jose Padilla was born in Brooklyn, New York to Estella Obregon and her husband, whose ancestors were from Colombia and Puerto Rico. The family later moved to Chicago, Illinois. As a youth, Padilla joined the Latin Kings street gang and was arrested several times. During his gang years, he maintained several aliases, such as José Rivera, José Alicea, José Hernandez, and José Ortiz. As a 14-year-old juvenile, he was convicted of aggravated assault and manslaughter after a gang member died whom he had kicked in the head.[2]

After serving his last jail sentence, Padilla converted to Islam.[3] One of his early religious instructors was an Islamic teacher who professed a nonviolent philosophy, and Padilla appeared at the time to be faithful to his mentor's teachings.[4] While living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Padilla attended the Masjid Al-Iman mosque, as did Adham Amin Hassoun, "for most of the 1990s and [they] were reportedly friends."[5]

Padilla always appeared to me to be a dead ringer for the 3rd composite drawing of the OK City Murrah Federal bombing. The one that several key witnesses gave testimony and then the authorities suddenly had no interest

One of those two others convicted McVeigh or Nichols was married to a muzzie. And he traveled to Indonesia and was there at the same time as some other terrorism plot jihadist.
