Terrorism: Ethnic Albanian Kosovar gets 20-month sentence for plot

This case creates many questions that do not seem to be answered in the MSM. The cast of conspirators shows that Muslims from many places and sects can work together to attack the West.

Terrorism: Ethnic Albanian Kosovar gets 20-month sentence for plot

New York, 1 April (AKI) - An ethnic Albanian (Muslim, ed.) from Kosovo has been sentenced to 20 months in jail by a United States court for his role in a terrorist plot to kill American soldiers in a military base, local media said on Tuesday.

The District court in Camden, New Jersey, on Monday sentenced Agron Abdulahu. He was a member of a terrorist group of six which was arrested last May for planning a terrorist attack on Fort Dix military base in New Jersey with the aim “to kill as many as possible American soldiers”. Abdulahu was charged with providing weapons and training for the group and pleaded guilty last October.
Why wasn't he charged with firearms law violations, each of which can have an automatic 5 year sentence? Let me answer that; he was the one-time head of the plot who turned on the chumps he recruited to get a deal from the prosecutors.


The other members of the group, three ethnic Albanian brothers from Macedonia, Elvir, Sain and Dritan Duka, were charged with “conspiracy to kill military personnel” and if convicted could get a life sentence. The same charges were pressed against Jordanian citizen Mohamad Shnewer and a Turk, Serdar Tatar

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has said there was no prove that the group was directly linked to other terrorist organizations. But al-Qaeda propaganda material was seized during raids of their apartments along with weapons and explosives.
So what? What does having or not having direct links to known terrorist groups have to do with anything? A terrorist is a terrorist, in this case Islamic terrorists hoping to advance global Jihad.


All six were illegal immigrants in the United States and were indoctrinated by radical Islam, the FBI concluded.
How the hell did they get here? Who helped them hide and supported them while they plotted mass murder?


Abdulahu’s lawyer Richard Coughlin was quoted as saying his client’s sentence was ”very fair”, because he hadn’t directly participated in the plot. “I had never thought for a single moment that they would really do it,” Abdulahu told the court, referring to the group’s plans.
I'd say 20 months for conspiracy to commit mass murder, attack a U. S. military installation and supplying weapons and training to commit Jihad is more than "very fair".
