According to the Lansing State Journal:

The men discussed terror attacks and sacrifice in multiple exchanges as well as their desire to kill “kuffar” — the Arabic word for a non-believer.

Bet you didn’t see this news on CNN, MSNBC or maybe even Fox News.

But, here is some pretty good reporting at the Lansing State Journal(hat tip: Leo):

LANSING – More than two years of investigation using Facebook and undercover agents led to Monday’s arrest of three Lansing men, who are now charged with conspiring to provide “material support” to an Islamic State group.

Muse Abdikadir Muse, Mohamud Abdikadir Muse and Mohamed Salat Haji were arrested Monday at Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids by members of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force federal records show. They face up to 20 years in prison.

But who are they, how did the FBI find them and what did investigators find that led to their arrest?

Wow! A reporter actually tells us more than we usually hear about their immigration status. You can put away your secret decoder ring. “New Americans” all!

Who are these men?

Mohamud Abdikadir Muse is 23. He’s also known as Abu Osama Almuhajir.

Muse Abdikadir Muse is 20. He’s Mohamud’s younger brother and is also known as Ali Almuhajir.

Mohamed Salat Haji is 26. He is Muse and Mohamud’s cousin and brother-in-law, according to federal documents. He’s also known as Salamujahid Almuhajir.

All three men were born in Kenya. [I’m guessing they were born in one of the big UN camps that house mostly Somalis. We take huge numbers of refugees from these camps.—-ed]

The Muse brothers became U.S. citizens when their parents were naturalized.
Haji is also now a U.S. citizen.

All three have pledged loyalty to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, according to a federal complaint filed in Grand Rapids.

The investigation began when the three yakked on Facebook.

How did the FBI find the men?

According to the federal complaint, a Facebook account for “Mohamud A Musa” caught the eye of FBI agents around April 2016.

Continue reading herefor the details!

I’m not going to tell you more because I want you to visit the story and send traffic to the Lansing State Journal.

What do you do?

It is your job to make sure the story breaks through the mainstream media shield of silence!

Send this news out far and wide through your social media accounts. It is one more story that should be on every cable news network and in the big papers, but it likely won’t be because it doesn’t fit the Leftwing media’s world view.

No more Somalis. No more refugees. No more TPS. No more illegal aliens.

Life was much better for them in the UN Refugee Tent...they need to be sent back there.

Terminate and defund the failed refugee policies...and they cannot stay here forever!

LANSING – More than two years of investigation using Facebook and undercover agents led to Monday's arrest of three Lansing men, who are now charged with conspiring to provide "material support" to an Islamic State group.

Muse Abdikadir Muse, Mohamud Abdikadir Muse and Mohamed Salat Haji were arrested Monday at Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids by members of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force federal records show. They face up to 20 years in prison.
But who are they, how did the FBI find them and what did investigators find that led to their arrest?

Who are these men?

Mohamud Abdikadir Muse is 23. He's also known as Abu Osama Almuhajir.

Muse Abdikadir Muse is 20. He's Mohamud's younger brother and is also known as Ali Almuhajir.

Mohamed Salat Haji is 26. He is Muse and Mohamud's cousin and brother-in-law, according to federal documents. He's also known as Salamujahid Almuhajir.

All three men were born in Kenya.

The Muse brothers became U.S. citizens when their parents were naturalized.

Haji is also now a U.S. citizen.

All three have pledged loyalty to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, according to a federal complaint filed in Grand Rapids.

ISIS is part of the larger Islamic militant organization that broke with the al-Qaida network and declared a caliphate, a traditional form of Islamic rule. It is largely made up of Sunni militants from Iraq and Syria but has drawn jihadi fighters from across the Muslim world, including the Muse brothers and Haji.

How did the FBI find the men?

According to the federal complaint, a Facebook account for "Mohamud A Musa" caught the eye of FBI agents around April 2016.
The account's public pages had "frequent posts of photos, videos, and statements and commentary that were pro-ISIS in nature and what can be described as violent, extremist propaganda," according to court records.


FBI analysis of photos from the account led to Mohamud, a former Nebraska resident, in the fall of 2016.

How did the FBI investigate them?

Federal records show a detailed timeline.

June 2017: An undercover FBI agent posing as an ISIS recruiter contacted Mohamud over Facebook. In an initial exchange, Mohamud told the agent he wanted to join ISIS in Syria and that he was saving money to pay for a trip. He also said he planned to die with a gun in his hand fighting for ISIS. Not long after, Facebook suspended the account.

August 2017: Mohamud surfaced again on Facebook after similar posts of pro-ISIS and violent extremist propaganda, and the undercover agent confirmed with Mohamud that it was the same person.

September 2017: Through a search warrant related to the original Facebook account, investigators identified Haji because he and Mohamud talked about their shared support and desire to fight for ISIS.

In one exchange, Haji asked for more ISIS videos and said of ISIS burning people: "I love it man."

February 2018: Through another search warrant, investigators identified Muse because he and Mohamud discussed supporting ISIS and the organization's ideals.

May 2018 to October 2018: Another set of search warrants linked Muse and Haji. The men discussed terror attacks and sacrifice in multiple exchanges as well as their desire to kill "kuffar" — the Arabic word for a non-believer.

October 2018: The FBI brought in two more undercover agents.

One posed as a Somali man and spoke multiple times with Muse, who told them he planned to save money to travel to join ISIS.

The other started posing as an African-American man from Chicago who had converted to Islam. That agent started talking to Haji on Facebook.

November 2018: Over the course of about a month, all three men made a pledge to ISIS in Arabic on video and sent the files to the undercover agent posing as the Somali male.

December 2018: During an in-person meeting, Haji and Muse coached the undercover agent posing as a Chicago resident through the oath as Haji recorded it.

The men started talking about flight prices online, and Muse asked for financial assistance.

The FBI secured $1,200 to send Muse in $300 increments to help with a $1,749 ticket to Mogadishu, Somalia. Muse believed the money was coming from ISIS.

January 2019: Muse and Haji met the undercover agent posing as a Chicago resident at a Walmart store in Lansing. They discussed the trip to Somalia.

The two men told the agent that, if they failed in their attempt to join ISIS, they would conduct an attack or martyrdom operations. Muse referenced a terrorism attack in Paris.

Monday: The three men drove together to Grand Rapids. They parked and went into the airport terminal, where Muse got his boarding pass, checked a bag and went to the security checkpoint.

Law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, executed a warrant and arrested Muse while he was going through security.

Officers arrested Mohamud and Haji shortly after in the terminal.

What's next?

Muse, Mohamud and Haji face charges for conspiring to provide "material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization," specifically ISIS. This is a crime under the Patriot Act.

They'll be represented in court by court-appointed attorneys, and at least one — Mohamud — has requested a jury trial, according to court records accessed Thursday morning.

They're scheduled to attend a detention hearing Friday afternoon in Grand Rapids.

Sentencing should be jail time, loose their citizenship and then they are deported on the spot!

Investigate their whole family tree...they bring this hate and violence here!

No more refugees, no asylum, no TPS, no illegals.

We sick and tired of this invasion and paying the billions of dollars of costs out of OUR wallets!
