Brownsburg man arrested, accused of traveling to support ISIL - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

BROWNSBURG, Ind. -
A Brownsburg, Indiana, man was arrested Tuesday for attempting to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

ISIL, also known as ISIS, is a designated foreign terrorist organization.

FBI agents arrested Akram Musleh, 18, as he tried to board a bus from Indianapolis to New York. The FBI believes Musleh was going to fly to Morocco in transit to ISIL-controlled territory.

The arrest was announced by Assistant Attorney General for National Security John P. Carlin, U.S. Attorney Josh J. Minkler of the Southern District of Indiana and Special Agent in Charge W. Jay Abbott of the FBI’s Indiana Division.

Its a wonder there isnt more of these kinds of incidents close to the Plainfield area.

Should have let him go and be their problem...just don't let him back in.

 

[jbombelli]

It wasn't me.

If he was going to stay over there then have at it!

 

[red_zr24x4]

Should have let him go, then ping his phone so we would know where to drop the bomb

The little turd is facing 20 years. Personally, I think if he's convicted he should be hung. Not just for aiding the enemy but for making the 'Burg look bad.

It's the fault of the NRA. And the pressure cooker lobby.

Does anyone else have problems with people being arrested for things they "might" do?

And I may be crazy, but I recall a story a while back about parents freaked out about people trying to talk to their kids at the park, trying to recruit them for isis like stuff. I just remember a hubbub and the officials looked into it and made a public statement that it was all just everyone's imaginations and just move along. No terrorists here.

And now there is the revelation that indeed there WAS truth to the rumor. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, how about you? No! Our gubmint wouldnt lie to us would they? Say it aint so, Joe?

I do its the " precrime division of the FBI " I'm just wondering where their keeping the precogs?

Wait, wait, wait I feel a 1984 reference coming on.

 

[MohawkSlim]

I know it's "illegal" to join a terrorist organization and conspire to aid them and all that (which is what these yahoos are getting arrested for) but setting the legal precedent to make a list of "bad people" and then arrest anyone who sides with them seems like something I don't want our fedgov having the power to do.

Am I alone in that?

Yeah, I do.

 

[jbombelli]

Yeah, I do.

Me too.

If he wants to blow himself up then duct tape a grenade to his head, put him in a room full of his family and friends and let him pull the pin.


I know. I don't care anymore.

Trump 2016.

 

[Kutnupe14]

Me too.

My suggestion, over this (and I don't like what I'm about to suggest), is to pick the kid up, have a court (after proving intent) place him on federal probation, and have the feds track him. Put a ankle bracelet on him and cut him loose. I STILL don't like the idea, but it's better than sending him down the river for 20+ years.

What I don't understand, buts its still early today, is that the FBI don't want to alert terrorists on a watchlist that they are on the watchlist by denying a gun purchase but can preemptive arrest on a bus ticket.

Maybe I just need another cup of coffee.

Thinking out loud, and certainly haven't thought this through....

Why not just put out an open invitation for folks that hate the USA and want to join {insert terrorist group}? Load them all on a big jet, and drop them off (or over) their target country. They get what they want, and we are rid of them. I suppose we would be increasing the strength of {terrorist group}. At least they would be over THERE rather than being a terrorist over HERE.

Agreed. There should be citizen renouncement drives set up every few years. Sign you name on the dotted line. and we'll give you a plane ticket, $10,000 and a goodbye. Feds will put you on the plane, and off you go (Never to return). I would totally get behind that.
