Illinois Cold Case: CIA-Duh in Chicago

"Chicago man sentenced for terror plot" by Michael Tarm  |  Associated Press, December 12, 2012

CHICAGO — A Chicago man was sentenced Tuesday to nearly 10 years in prison for plotting to attend a Somalia training camp with dreams of becoming a suicide bomber for Al Qaeda and another terrorist group, al-Shabab.

Shaker Masri, 29, was sentenced two years after his arrest, which relied heavily on an FBI informant.

Translation: This is another patsy-plot frame-up.

He pleaded guilty in July to trying to provide material support and resources to a terrorist organization. He declined to make a statement in court Tuesday and showed little emotion as US District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman announced the sentence.

The Alabama-born Masri allegedly discussed the possibility of killing a busload of US soldiers and about the ‘‘heavenly rewards one would receive for martyrdom,’’ according to a government presentencing filing.

Investigators also found copies of extremist literature on Masri’s computer, including Osama bin Laden’s 1996 manifesto, ‘‘The Declaration of War Against the Americans.’’

They are really shoveling the old shinola, 'eh?

"Illinois man charged in terrorism case

CHICAGO — A suburban ­Chicago man has been arrested on terrorism-related charges and accused of seeking to join an Al Qaeda-affiliated group in war-torn Syria, the FBI announced Saturday. Abdella ­Ahmad Tounisi, 18, was ­arrested Friday night as he attempted to board a flight from O’Hare International Airport to Turkey, the FBI said. The head of the FBI office in Chicago, Cory B. Nelson, said there are no links between ­Tounisi’s case and the Boston Marathon bombings (AP)."

Then why mention it, and not mention the fact that he is ON OF OURS if he is "Al-CIA-Duh" in Syria?
