As you know, this is what Kelly-Ann Conway was referring. Your desperation is duly noted. Good to see you have so little about which to object. Grow up.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WKYT) - For the first time, the world is getting a look at the evidence in the case of two terrorists who were arrested living in Kentucky.
The pictures and video from the FBI show 32-year-old Waad Ramadan Alwan with heavy machinery in a storage facility in Bowling Green more than two years ago. Alwan and 25-year-old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi were working with a FBI informant when they had thought the weapons would be sent to insurgents in Iraq.
Both were arrested in May 2011 in Bowling Green after a sting operation.
Hammadi and Alwan pleaded guilty in 2011 and 2012 to conspiring to ship thousands in cash, machine guns, rifles, grenades and shoulder-fired missiles to al-Qaida in Iraq in 2010 and 2011.
The FBI said that Alwan also spoke of setting roadside explosives in Iraq from 2003 through 2006 and that investigators found his fingerprints on an unexploded bomb.
"Two, what should have been known terrorists, were able to make it through a screening process at the State Department level to make it into the United States," said Bowling Green Police Chief Doug Hawkins who believes the system failed by allowing the men to slip through the cracks.
