Tennessee: Iraqi Sentenced for Targeting Jewish Sites
Notice how the would-be terrorist was not affiliated with any terrorist organization. Notice also how the newspaper article, although it mentions he wanted to join the Jihad, it fails to inform its readers about the religion or the motivation of the potential mass murderer. (Heck, perhaps the Buddhists started a Jihad and we didn't notice. Or perhaps he didn't mean Jihad in a bad way, he might just have meant "intense spiritual struggle.") At any rate, had this been a white supremacist planning to kill Jews, you could be sure the man's motivation would be spelled out for all to see.
Here is the story: Iraqi who targeted Jewish sites sentenced
An Iraqi-born defendant was sentenced yesterday to four years and nine months in prison for purchasing machine guns and grenades to target two Jewish facilities in the Nashville area, the U.S. attorney's office said.Ahmed Hassan Al-Uqaily, 34, had made a threat about "going jihad. He told a friend he wanted the weapons because " I cannot take it. I cannot wait," according to federal court papers.
But his friends at the Krispy Kreme, where Al-Uqaily made doughnuts for four years, said they saw no signs of his terrorist intentions.
"That doesn't seem like him," said Jean Tucker, who was one of his supervisors. "I never heard him say anything out of line as far as wanting to get revenge on somebody or wanting to hurt somebody."
Instead, he was a friendly colleague who baked homemade birthday and wedding cakes for his co-workers, who gave away doughnuts to the children in his neighborhood and who would report to work whenever he was needed, Tucker said.
Al-Uqaily had expressed animosity toward Jews and identified two Jewish facilities that he knew about, according to his plea agreement. Prosecutors de-clined to say which facilities he may have wanted to target.
