Exclusive: US May Have Let 'Dozens' of Terrorists Into Country As Refugees

Nov. 20, 2013

QUANTICO, Virginia
By JAMES GORDON MEEK, CINDY GALLI and BRIAN ROSS

Several dozen suspected terrorist bombmakers, including some believed to have targeted American troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States as war refugees, according to FBI agents investigating the remnants of roadside bombs recovered from Iraq and Afghanistan.

The discovery in 2009 of two al Qaeda-Iraq terrorists living as refugees in Bowling Green, Kentucky -- who later admitted in court that they'd attacked U.S. soldiers in Iraq -- prompted the bureau to assign hundreds of specialists to an around-the-clock effort aimed at checking its archive of 100,000 improvised explosive devices collected in the war zones, known as IEDs, for other suspected terrorists' fingerprints.

"We are currently supporting dozens of current counter-terrorism investigations like that," FBI Agent Gregory Carl, director of the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC), said in an ABC News interview to be broadcast tonight on ABC News' "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline".

"I wouldn't be surprised if there were many more than that," said House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul. "And these are trained terrorists in the art of bombmaking that are inside the United States; and quite frankly, from a homeland security perspective, that really concerns me."

As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News – even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets. One Iraqi who had aided American troops was assassinated before his refugee application could be processed, because of the immigration delays, two U.S. officials said. In 2011, fewer than 10,000 Iraqis were resettled as refugees in the U.S., half the number from the year before, State Department statistics show.

Suspect in Kentucky Discovered to Have Insurgent Past

An intelligence tip initially led the FBI to Waad Ramadan Alwan, 32, in 2009. The Iraqi had claimed to be a refugee who faced persecution back home -- a story that shattered when the FBI found his fingerprints on a cordless phone base that U.S. soldiers dug up in a gravel pile south of Bayji, Iraq on Sept. 1, 2005. The phone base had been wired to unexploded bombs buried in a nearby road.

An ABC News investigation of the flawed U.S. refugee screening system, which was overhauled two years ago, showed that Alwan was mistakenly allowed into the U.S. and resettled in the leafy southern town of Bowling Green, Kentucky, a city of 60,000 which is home to Western Kentucky University and near the Army's Fort Knox and Fort Campbell. Alwan and another Iraqi refugee, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 26, were resettled in Bowling Green even though both had been detained during the war by Iraqi authorities, according to federal prosecutors.

Most of the more than 70,000 Iraqi war refugees in the U.S. are law-abiding immigrants eager to start a new life in America, state and federal officials say.

But the FBI discovered that Alwan had been arrested in Kirkuk, Iraq, in 2006 and confessed on video made of his interrogation then that he was an insurgent, according to the U.S. military and FBI, which obtained the tape a year into their Kentucky probe. In 2007, Alwan went through a border crossing to Syria and his fingerprints were entered into a biometric database maintained by U.S. military intelligence in Iraq, a Directorate of National Intelligence official said. Another U.S. official insisted that fingerprints of Iraqis were routinely collected and that Alwan's fingerprint file was not associated with the insurgency.

"How do they get into our community?"

Al Qaeda in Kentucky: US May Have Let 'Dozens' of Terrorists Into Country as Refugees - ABC News

I predicted this would happen. In 2004 or 2005 I said so.

And I've been saying so ever since.

Some really bad guys are going to slip in under cover of the refugees and they are going to derive support, succor and concealment from the moderate Muslims we also allowed in.

And the American Leftists, prompted and aided by their anonymous online allies and political 'bedfellows', foreign agents who influence public opinion in dozens of thousands of online skirmishes every week in thousands of forums like this one, are going to defend them.

Why would seemingly patriotic Liberal Americans do this? Because, for one reason, they recognize that Conservatives are acting to stop the threat from Sleeper Jihadi and their liberal instincts, which they wouldn't THINK of stifling, is out of control and they just can't resist defending anything we oppose.

Even when they would be hurt and would suffer from their defense.

Oh, and while we are on the subject of allowing bad guys to enter the country illegally, THAT'S what started the headlines and intense scrutiny regarding post 9/11 Border Security. It was the idea to try to prevent THESE dark skinned swarthy featured individuals from the Middle East from slipping in unnoticed among a bunch of dark skinned swarthy featured individuals from Mexico and Latin America.

We weren't that much excited all of a sudden in stopping Mexicans, although some Americans really are hot about them. It was in an effort to stop Islamic Jihad in all its permutations. Violent and terroristic and non violent Jihad.

Back to Mexican illegals, I see their presence in this country as a problem we've lived with a long time and there isn't any sense of urgency about stopping or reversing their numbers as much as there is a genuine need to stop terrorist Jihadists.

@1776son America and yes I do consider the United States of America an Islamic country with an Islamically compliant constitution. Move On!

Atlas Shrugs: Infiltration


Obama appointee, Homeland Security Advisory Council member and Muslim Brotherhood supporter Mohamed Elibiary is a Muslim Brotherhood zealot actively promoting the islamic supremacist agenda.

He used his new federal security clearance to access a sensitive database and download state and local intelligence reports on the Texas Department of Public Safety and sell them to mainstream media outlets to smear Texas Gov. Rick Perry as an islamophobe and racist.

Instead of being fired at the time, Elibiary was just given ..... a promotion.

Despite exposing these Muslim Brotherhood operatives at Atlas as early as 2010 here (even an Egyptian magazine did a bombshell article on Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in the Obama administration in January 2013 as well), the Obama administration continued to appoint enemy operatives to key posts.

Muslim Brotherhood operatives have direct access to the White House. Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development; Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference; Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC); Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA); and Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.
