Six Arrested In Plot To Join ISIS

Six men have been arrested in connection with a plot to travel to Syria to become members of the terrorist group ISIS.

While all six men are residents of Minnesota, two were arrested in San Diego. The other four were arrested in Minneapolis. The men are Somalis in their late teens or early 20s.

Federal officials identified the six men as Zacharia Abdurahman, 19, Adnan Farah, 19, Hanad Musse, 19, Guled Omar, 20, Abdirahman Daud, 21, and Mohamed Abdihamid Farah, 21.

“These were not confused young men,”Minnesota U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger stated during a press conference on Monday. “These are focused young men who were intent on joining a terrorist organization by any means possible.”

The men had connections to another Minnesota man who was indicted in February on terror charges after he tried to head to Syria.

“This is a very serious issue,”Somali activist Omar Jamal told the International Business Times. “We as a community are concerned about losing our kids to ISIS.”

FBI director James Comey said that every state has people like the ones arrested in Minnesota.

“Those people exist in every state,”he outlined. “I have homegrown violent extremist investigations in every single state. Until a few weeks ago there was 49 states. Alaska had none, which I couldn’t quite figure out. But Alaska has now joined the group, so we have investigations of people in various stages of radicalizing in all 50 states.”

ISIS Kills Ethiopian Christians In Libya

The White House has condemned ISIS after a release of a video showing the execution of Ethiopian Christians in Libya was released Sunday.

The video shows ISIS terrorists shooting and beheading the Christians.

“We express our condolences to the families of the victims and our support to the Ethiopian government and people as they grieve for their fellow citizens,” National Security Council spokesperson Bernadette Meehan said in a statement. “That these terrorists killed these men solely because of their faith lays bare the terrorists’ vicious, senseless brutality.”

The 29-minute video comes on the heels of Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani saying ISIS was behind a suicide attack that killed at least 35 people. The attacks show ISIS is beginning to develop the ability to attack far outside their strongholds in Iraq and Syria.

The video also mirrors their previous killing of Coptic Christians in Egypt.

Ethiopia has been in the sights of Islamic terrorists because they are part of the African Union force that has driven the Islamic terrorists group al-Shabaab out of their neighbor Somalia.

ISIS Carries Out Bombing Near U.S. Consulate in Irbil

The Islamic terrorist group ISIS has claimed responsibility for a bombing near the U.S. Consulate in the Kurdish Iraqi city of Irbil.

The terrorists said the consulate was their target.

Police said four people are dead and at least 18 people were injured by the car bomb. The U.S. State Department said that all Consulate personnel were safe.

Police told reporters that a small improvised bomb detonated in the area which was followed by a car moving toward the consulate. Security personnel began to fire on the car and when it was clear they would not make the consulate, the people within the car detonated their devices.

A witness reported a gun battle between the terrorists and police.

The blast took place across the street from a row of bars, cafes and shops frequented by consular employees.

“The United States will continue to stand with the people of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and all Iraqis as we work together in confronting these terrorist acts and towards our shared goal of degrading and defeating (ISIS),” the State Department said in a statement.

Five Australian Teens Arrested For ISIS Style Plot

Australian officials say that five teenagers were arrested Saturday accused of plotting a terrorist attack on a Veterans’ Day ceremony.

The aim of the attack was police officers.

Australian Federal Police Acting Deputy Commissioner Neil Gaughan told reporters that two of the 18 year olds were plotting an attack on the ANZAC Day ceremony in Melbourne. Two other 18 year olds and a 19 year old were arrested. All of the arrests took place in Melbourne.

“At this stage, we have no information that it was a planned beheading. But there was reference to an attack on police,” Gaughan said. “Some evidence that we have collected at a couple of the scenes, and some other information we have, leads us to believe that this particular matter was ISIS-inspired.”

ANZAC Day is April 25^th, the anniversary of the first major military action by Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during World War I.

Two of the teens had connections to Numan Haider, an 18 year old who stabbed two police officers before being shot and killed in September.

Federal Police Deputy Commissioner Michael Phelan told reporters the teens had been “on the radar” for months.

“This is a new paradigm for police,” Phelan said. “These types of attacks that are planned are very rudimentary and simple. … All you need these days is a knife, a flag and a camera and one can commit a terrorist act.”

ISIS Destroys Christian Cemetery in Mosul

The Middle East Media Research Institute is reporting that the terrorist group ISIS has destroyed a Christian graveyard in Mosul.

Pictures of the terrorists smashing headstones in Mosul were posted online titled “Leveling Graves and Erasing Pagan Symbols.”

“The April 16 destruction of Christian graves in Mosul, Iraq by the Islamic State (ISIS) is part of the organization’s ongoing campaign against Christianity, in the Middle East and throughout the Muslim world,” said Steven Stalinsky, executive director of The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

The terrorists claim that Islamic teaching requires them to destroy any grave higher than ground level. Images on the graves must also be destroyed.

“It is important to note that ISIS is documenting its destruction and desecration of Christian sites and its attacks on Christian communities, and on other minorities’ sites and communities, and is disseminating these images worldwide via social media,” Stalinsky told Fox News. “By doing this, ISIS is not only showcasing what it is doing, but is also mocking the West by demonstrating that it is doing so freely, with no one trying to stop it.”

Mosul has been under the control of the terrorists since June 2014.

Australian Model and DJ Killed While Fighting For ISIS

A former model and DJ from Australia that no one knew was fighting for the terrorist group ISIS in Syria has been killed.

The parents of Sharky Jama were informed of their son’s death via text message on Monday according to the Somali Australian Council of Victoria.

Hussein Harakow of the SACV told CNN that Jama had disappeared in August of last year with a former business student named Yusuf Yusuf. He had been living in the city of Falluja. Despite making pro-ISIS comments on social media, his family had no idea he was fighting on the front lines with the terrorists.

“He never explained what’s happening over there or what he’s doing,” Harakow told CNN. “The family lived a simple life. They never discussed these sorts of things.”

The news of the young man’s death comes as Australian leaders are expressing concerns about radicalized residents returning from the Middle East. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott addressed the media after the reports of Jama’s death.

“I have a very simple message for those who might be thinking of going overseas to join these terrorist groups: Don’t,” he said. “They are death cults. … They are not about religion, they are just about death, and it’s just as likely to be your death as anyone else’s death.”

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said that as many as 90 Australians were fighting with ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

ISIS Destroys Biblical City of Calah

The Biblical city of Calah has been wiped from the face of the Earth by Islamic terrorists.

ISIS has released a video showing their destruction of the town of Calah, also called the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud.

The 7-minute video shows ISIS using sledgehammers, drills and other heavy equipment to destroy ancient artifacts before setting off three barrel bombs that completely destroy the historical site.

The town is 22 miles south of Mosul and was believed to date back to the 13^th century B.C.

The town is mentioned in Genesis 10:11 as being built by Nimrod, who the Bible says is the first “mighty man” on Earth.

“Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.” The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.” (Genesis 10:8-12 ESV)

The United Nations has called the action a war crime.

In a new crime in their series of reckless offenses, they assaulted the ancient city of Nimrud and bulldozed it with heavy machinery, appropriating archaeological attractions dating back 13 centuries B.C.,” a statement from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization reads.

“This is yet another attack against the Iraqi people, reminding us that nothing is safe from the cultural cleansing under way in the country: it targets human lives, minorities, and is marked by the systematic destruction of humanity’s ancient heritage,”UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova said.

ISIS Terrorists Impregnate 9-Year-Old Girl

The latest report by aid workers in Iraq is a 9-year-old girl that was repeatedly raped by 10 ISIS terrorists until she was impregnated.

The aid workers say the girl will likely die giving birth to the child.

“This girl is so young she could die if she delivers a baby,” thestar.com quotes Yousif Daoud, a Canadian-based aid worker who recently returned from the region, as saying. “Even a caesarian section is dangerous. The abuse she has suffered left her mentally and physically traumatized.”

The girl was part of a group of women and children released last week by the terrorists. The release of the women, some impregnated by the terrorists, is seen as a way to shame the community.

“If they are married, their husbands won’t take them back if they are pregnant. And it’s clear that the babies will never be accepted,” Daoud said. “I don’t know what the future would be for their babies. The girls and women don’t want them. They have suffered so much they just want to forget.”

The terrorists have been reported to give young girls to front line fighters as a reward for their efforts.

The 9-year-old has been flown to Germany to be taken care of by a medical charity.

Kansas Man Accused Of Plotting Islamic Terror Attack On U.S. Base

A Kansas man is jailed on charges that he planned to detonate a car bomb at the Fort Riley military base for ISIS.

John T. Booker, Jr., who calls himself Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, had unknowingly been receiving false bomb material from FBI operatives according to NBC News. Booker faces charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, one count of attempting to damage property and one count of attempting to provide material support to ISIS.

“I want to assure the public there was never any breach of Fort Riley Military Base, nor was the safety or the security of the base or its personnel ever at risk,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Eric Jackson was quoted as saying in a statement.

“As alleged in the complaint, John Booker attempted to attack U.S. military personnel on U.S. soil purportedly in the name of (ISIS),” Fox News quoted Assistant Attorney General John Carlin as saying. “Thanks to the efforts of the law enforcement community, we were able to safely disrupt this threat to the brave men and women who serve our country. Protecting American lives by identifying and bringing to justice those who wish to harm U.S. citizens remains the National Security Division’s number one priority.”

A grand jury will consider the case next week.

Booker told an FBI informant that he wanted to kill Americans and engage in violent jihad on behalf of ISIS. Imam Omar Hazim of the Islamic Center of Topeka told the FBI Booker had bipolar disorder according to the Associated Press.
