Boston Police Captain’s Son Pleads Guilty to Islamic State Plot
Breitbart ^ | 5/22/18 | John Hayward LATEST NEWS

Posted on 05/22/2018 3:12:04 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Alexander Ciccolo, 25, the son of a Boston police captain, pled guilty on Monday to plotting an Islamic State terrorist attack on a college campus. He will face up to 20 years in prison for charges of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, attempting to use weapons of mass destruction, illegal weapons possession, and assault with a dangerous weapon. The Berkshire Eagle runs down the details of Ciccolo’s case: Ciccolo was arrested July 4, 2015, after he allegedly accepted a small cache of weapons from an FBI informant. He had come to the attention of authorities after his estranged father, a Boston Police captain, alerted them about his son’s expressed interest in going overseas and fighting alongside the Islamic State. He had been under surveillance by the FBI for about six months before his arrest, via a camera mounted outside his Adams apartment. Ciccolo told the informant that he planned to build a pressure cooker bomb packed with gunpowder, shrapnel, and debris — like the ones used at the Boston Marathon in 2013 — and detonate the device. He also revealed that he planned to attack a target like a college cafeteria in support of the Islamic State, and to broadcast student executions. After arresting Ciccolo, investigators found at least partially constructed Molotov cocktails in his apartment and a recently purchased pressure cooker. If a plea agreement had not been reached, Ciccolo’s trial was scheduled to begin on June 19. He initially pled not guilty and denied all of the charges against him when he was arrested in July 2015. His indictment said that he used the name “Ali al-Amriki” when communicating with supporters of the Islamic State. The assault charge against Ciccolo was booked after he was arrested; he stabbed a nurse at the jail..

"(his mother) theorized that he stabbed the nurse because he was disoriented from hunger due to his Ramadan fast"
So can I stab someone at the end of Yom Kippur, claiming the fasting made me disoriented? Another "Jihad Johnny", this time from Mass., a state with some of the toughest gun laws on the planet.

It's only from sun up to sun down. It's not a real big sacrifice.

Whenever I see things like this these days I’m afraid I first think that the FBI has entrapped a low-IQ loser into something they would never have thought up on their own. My faith in that “Integrity” bit of the FBI motto is below zero.

Growing up believing that liberalism is in your DNA in Boston is also a form of mental illness... but Italian Muslims? That takes the Cake!

That’s what I think as well. Not that he didn’t go Muslim and become a traitor or wannabe traitor.

Not teaching the truth about Islam is insanity. Charging
those who speak the truth about islam with committing a hate crime is Islamic sharia law.
