Al-Jawary is in federal custody, convicted of building a trio of powerful bombs that were part of a 1973 plot to destroy Israeli targets in New York. Al-Jawary's bombs never detonated and he wasn't brought to justice until two decades later after fleeing the country. On Feb. 19, Al-Jawary, 63, will be released.

This item illustrates the history of a Muslim terrorist who attempted terrorists attacks in America in the 70's and his involvment in other plots around the world. It follows his comings and goings throughout the world, his contacts and his involvement in many Islamic terrorist plots. He was eventually incarcerated in America for a 30 year term.
He is now about to be released from federal prison and will undoubtedly return to killing in the name of Allah.
As we have seen recently, many released Gitmo terrorists have been killed or recaptured after returning to fight the Great Jihad against the West. So far, our elected officials have failed to realize that Muslim fanatics cannot be reformed and will continue to kill Westerners till their last breath. They need to be held in isolation to prevent them from recruiting other prisoners into Islam and inciting them to terrorism. Bottom line, Muslim terrorists, once incarcerated should never see the light of day for the remainder of their miserable lives.

AP IMPACT: Freedom looms for terrorist

NEW YORK – In 1973, a young terrorist named Khalid Duhham Al-Jawary entered the United States and quickly began plotting an audacious attack in New York City.
He built three powerful bombs — bombs powerful enough to kill, maim and destroy — and put them in rental cars scattered around town, near Israeli targets.
The plot failed. The explosive devices did not detonate, and Al-Jawary fled the country, escaping prosecution for nearly two decades — until he was convicted of terrorism charges in Brooklyn and sentenced to 30 years in federal penitentiary.
But his time is up.
In less than a month, the 63-year-old Al-Jawary is expected to be released. He will likely be deported; where to is anybody's guess. The shadowy figure had so many aliases it's almost impossible to know which country is his true homeland.
Al-Jawary has never admitted his dark past or offered up tidbits in exchange for his release. Much of Al-Jawary's life remains a mystery — even to the dogged FBI case agent who tracked him down.
But an Associated Press investigation — based on recently declassified documents, extensive court records, CIA investigative notes and interviews with former intelligence officials — reveals publicly for the first time Al-Jawary's deep involvement in terrorism beyond the plot that led to his conviction.
Government documents link Al-Jawary to Black September's murderous letter-bombing campaign targeting world leaders in the 1970s and a botched terrorist attack in 1979. Former intelligence officials suspect he had a role in the bombing of a TWA flight in 1974 that killed 88 people.
"He's a very dangerous man," said Mike Finnegan, the former FBI counterterrorism agent who captured Al-Jawary. "A very bad guy."
