Federal authorities said Wednesday they had arrested an Iraqi national and longtime member of Al Qaeda and the Islamic State who fled after killing an Iraqi police officer in 2014, eventually settling in Sacramento as a purported refugee.
The man, Omar Ameen, 45, is wanted on a murder charge in Iraq and appeared before a federal magistrate judge in Sacramento on Wednesday soon after his arrest, the Justice Department said in a statement. He is to be extradited and will face trial in his home country, prosecutors said.
Mr. Ameen has been a member of Al Qaeda in Iraq since at least 2004 and later joined the Islamic State — known as ISIS — prosecutors said, citing interviews with several witnesses. He is not known to have renounced his membership in either group, they say.
“It is common knowledge in Rawah, Iraq, that Ameen was a main local figure of AQI and ISIS,” a detention memorandum said.
Court documents say that on the night of June 22, 2014, a day after Rawah fell to ISIS, Mr. Ameen was one of several fighters who drove to the officer’s house in a rural area of town and opened fire. The officer, Ihsan Abdulhafiz Jasim, who had been a member of the Rawah Police Department, returned fire, the documents said. Then, when Mr. Jasim was on the ground, Mr. Ameen fired at him again, killing him, prosecutors said.
ISIS announced the killing on social media, court documents say, with a post that read: “[t]oday is the day to eliminate some rotten heads. Now in Rawah, the criminal Ihsan has been eliminated.”
Prosecutors also allege that Mr. Ameen’s family — he has more than a dozen siblings — had “supported and assisted the installation of Al Qaeda in Iraq” in Rawah

How did the killer get here?
The Halfrican opened the gates to many many ****hole Muslim countries..... letting in people with horrific diseases that have been stamped out years ago in civilized countries.
Boobamba looked the other way as the diseased ones settled in and proceeded to ride the US gravy train under several identities.
Yes!! They ALL need to be questioned about this.....
Do YOU, (fill in leftist politician name), believe this KNOWN ISIS member should've been allowed in the US...AND....be given sanctuary, like MS13 members you support?
There needs to be billboard ads all over this country outing the duplicity and hypocrisy of the Marxist Left!
Call them out 24/7 on their lies, corruption, duplicity, hypocrisy.
Climb in the RAT sewer and give them a dose of their own medicine using their tactics back on them.
may the planners and perpetrators of this intentional killing of the USA be exposed and jailed! Every day I see more and more ‘visitors to our land’ gabbling and spending our tax money and using our tax-paid resources and dragging us down to a feces-laden, infected and illiterate hell-hole.
“”There needs to be billboard ads all over this country outing the duplicity and hypocrisy of the Marxist Left!””
Great idea! Revealing myself as one who doesn’t get out on the country’s highways - since we moved cross country in 2006 - are billboards still on the nation’s highways? How about Burma Shave type signs and the motorists can just keep reading until they take it all in?
