US Attorney Virginia: Somali refugee women charged with funding Somali Islamic terror group
ALEXANDRIA, Va. A Washington state woman and four other people have been charged with funneling money to the al-Qaida-linked extremist group al-Shabab in Somalia.
The U.S. Attorneys Office in Alexandria announced the charges Wednesday. The two women, one from Kent, Wash., and the other from Reston, Va., are charged with providing material support to a foreign terrorist network. The U.S. designated al-Shabab as a terrorist group in 2008.
Prosecutors say 44-year-old Hinda Osman Dhirane of Kent and 34-year-old Muna Osman Jama of Reston were arrested in their homes. Dhirane faces an initial appearance Wednesday at the federal courthouse in Seattle.
Three others overseas have also been charged. One is in custody in the Netherlands; the other two are fugitives in Kenya and Somalia.
Prosecutors say the women raised money for al-Shabab using code words like orphans to refer to al-Shabab fighters.
According to the Department of Justice, Dhirane and Jama Jama are leaders of an al-Shabaab fundraising conspiracy operating in the U.S., Kenya, the Netherlands, Somalia and elsewhere. Jama was allegedly responsible for sending money to Kenya through overseas defendant Fardowsa Jama Mohamed, while Dhirane was primarily responsible for sending money to Somalia through another overseas defendant, Barira Hassan Abdullahi, according to the charges.
The Seattle area boasts the second-largest Somali population in the U.S., behind Minneapolis-St. Paul. Over the years, the FBI and federal prosecutors have attempted to make in-roads into the community. [I dont think boasts is the right word here, do you?]
Now my question. How did these women get here into these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? Where did they acquire the funds to be sent to these ISIS rats also? When I think of the millions of these despicable women and all Muslims what has our country become? All government Bureaucrats are involved but they just say "its my job". Well cut the BUREAUCRATS JOBS!!!!!!!!
