Vibrant! Diverse! Terrorist sympathizers

From CBS New York:

Two men tried to buy boots, winter coats and other gear for Taliban and al Qaeda soldiers fighting U.S. troops in Afghanistan, authorities said Thursday in announcing state-level terrorism charges.

Police say Humayoun Nabi, 27, and Ismail Alsarabbi, 32, were busted after a two-year investigation that involved confidential informants and undercover detectives.

Lawyers who represented the men at their initial court appearance this week in Queens said their clients had been manipulated by police.

According to a criminal complaint, Nabi told a confidential informant that he hated the United States and wanted to take a stand. He told the informant he wanted to form a nonprofit where he could siphon away money for Afghan fighters. The nonprofit was not formed, police said.

The two suspects believed the key to beating U.S. forces overseas was through properly outfitted Taliban soldiers, authorities said. The fighters could then kill American soldiers “and cut them into pieces,” Nabi said, according to the complaint.

Nabi, working with Alsarabbi, wanted to buy socks, shoes, coats and electronics to ship oversees to a warehouse. They met with a man set up by detectives who provided the men with sample gear, authorities said.

They don't have to bother. The Taliban will take back Afghanistan the day we exit, which is supposedly pretty soon. Bush/Obama have wasted trillions of $, thousands of lives and uncounted limbs there, to stoke their own egos.

'Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said the winter gear “in the context of the fighting in Afghanistan is as serious as supplying the enemy with bullets and bombs.' Only if they shopped for footwear where Richard Reid did.

I agree with Brown on this one! Totally! Its no joke folks. Read history. Hitler and Napolian both tried to take Moscow in Spring gear.

The government keeps allowing mass immigration into this country and it keeps blowing up right in their faces!! When will the government learn that mass immigration has its downsides to it?

Does Anon 1 really think we shouldn't have overthrown the scum government that enabled 9/11 to happen?

It is true, however, that Bush squandered the victory there and then Obama made it even worse.

We're in a world war, people, and pretending otherwise can only benefit the other side.

Village Voice reported that Humayoun Ghoulan Nabi is from Elmhurst and Ismail Alsarabbi is from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

Why haven't other news outlets mentioned where specifically they live? The community has a right to know.

But I'm sure that they contributed to the vibrant diversity of the city.

This article has both their communities and their specific streets.

And fyi, weeklies generally don't print specific addresses to avoid contributing to any retaliation, particularly in case someone is not guilty or if someone with nothing to do with the case also lives in the same building. The DA did in this case release the addresses too.
