Mohamed Ali Omar. was convicted in March of threatening Federal agents when they came to the residence to interview Guled Omar. The U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota said that Omar "never stopped plotting" and had previously attempted to leave the United States. another one of the refugees turned U.S. citizen. all the while. at least part of the time. a terrorist. And then also this year. in August. a native of Uzbekistan. Fazliddin Kurbanov. came as a refugee in 2009. was found guilty on charges he conspired and attempted to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and possessed an unregistered destructive device. U.S. Assistant Attorney General John Carlin stated that he conspired to provide material support to the Islamic movement of Uzbekistan and procured bombmaking materials in the interest of perpetrating a terrorist attack on American soil. According to press reports. Kurbanov began his life as a Muslim. supposedly faced persecution when his family converted to Christianity and came to the United States with his family as a refugee. and. as it turned out. he is Islamic and radicalized. So it is interesting. This administration assures us we have nothing to fear. nothing to be concerned about.
