Jihadi Shot Dead in Boston was Plotting to Behead Cops, Another Arrest Made

Jihad in America: Enemy in our Midst



When will the media stop attacking those of us who are educating and increasing awareness of the gravest threat to our nation and our way of life, and start focusing on the enemy?

They are here. This is yet another positive development. In the aftermath of the jihad attack on our free speech event in “Garland, Texas – the FBI increased surveillance and investigations of closed cases and perceived low priority threats.” WFXT reported that three different Joint Terrorism Task Force teams had been carrying out 24-hour surveillance on at least three different people in the Boston area.

Another arrest has been made in the wake of beheading. Sources tell CBS News that Rahim and Wright were communicating with each other about attacks in the U.S., which is why Wright was arrested. Authorities continue to search for other people both Rahim and Wright were communicating with, the sources say.

A Massachusetts man is in custody in connection with Tuesday’s shooting of a man police say was radicalized by Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) propaganda, reports CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues.


Police led the man, David Wright, out of an Everett home late Tuesday, linking his arrest to the terror investigation of Usaama Rahim.

Just 14 miles away, investigators say, Rahim had pulled out a knife and waved it at officers in Boston. Moments later, police fired, shooting and killing him. He was under 24-hour surveillance at the time he was killed.

“We believed he was a threat,” Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said.

Evans says the shooting was caught on nearby surveillance cameras, and the video shows police guns weren’t drawn at first.

And they kept retreating, verbally giving commands to ‘drop the weapon, drop the weapon,”‘ Evans said. “At some point the individual — proximity came [so] close that the officers were in danger.”

Federal law enforcement sources say Rahim had been on joint terrorism task force radar for several months, but in recent weeks they began tracking him around the clock.



FOX News – “The man shot and killed Tuesday by Boston police was plotting with another suspect to behead a cop, a law enforcement source told FoxNews.com

The dead suspect, 26-year-old Usaama Rahim, was under surveillance by the Joint Terrorism Task Force when he was shot at about 7 a.m. near a CVS in the city’s Roslindale neighborhood, when he brandished the blade at police. Later Tuesday, authorities arrested another suspect, David Wright, in connection with the case, police said.

‘We believe the intent was to behead a police officer,’ one official told The Boston Globe. ‘We knew the plot had to be stopped. They were planning to take action Tuesday.’

Rahim was shot outside a CVS Pharmacy in Roslindale, Mass. at approximately 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Boston Police Commissioner William Evans told reporters that members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force approached Rahim to question him about ‘terrorist-related information’ they had received when he moved toward officers with the knife.

Evans said officers repeatedly ordered Rahim to drop the knife but he continued to advance. He said task force members fired their guns, hitting Rahim once in the torso and once in the abdomen. Rahim was taken to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Later, the FBI and local police arrested a man at a home in Everett, Mass., in an action authorities said was related to the Roslindale shooting. Christina Diorio-Sterling, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz, said Wright was taken into custody from his home in suburban Everett. She said Wright will face federal charges and is expected to appear in U.S. District Court on Wednesday.

WFXT reported that three different Joint Terrorism Task Force teams had been carrying out 24-hour surveillance on at least three different people in the Boston area, though it was unclear how long that had been going on.The plot may have been inspired by the terror group ISIS, who have repeatedly called on followers in the United States to attack law enforcement officials or military installations.” Read more.

I guess this in part explains why the US is now so respected around the world. LOL
When a reporter asking the US State Dept. spokesperson questions and makes far more sense than the Administration we have a problem. Perhaps we should hunt down this reporter and put him in charge of foreign affairs. Of course almost any informed American with common sense off the street could do a better job than Obummer

I thought this was telling when the reporter ask:.

"But the United States worked with Joseph Stalin to defeat Nazi Germany. I mean, these types of marriages of convenience happen all the time throughout history."

"I'm just not going to compare this to any other historical case," Harf said.

She is not going to compare this to any other historical case because she can't.
Obummer is a brand new thing alright. He cannot be compared to any President in history. His disdain for the country and the Constitution are without parallel. His petulant childishness is without parallel. He wants Assad out and he cannot stand it that he is not getting his way.
