As Ms. Geller notes, "exceptionally biased" on part of AP but worth reading
1/31/12, "US, UN Helped Colo. Man Now Accused of Terrorism," AP, Aurora, Col.
"US, UN Helped Muslim Relocate to Colorado, Now Accused of Jihadi Terror," Pamela Geller, Atlas Shugs
"A man from Uzbekistan that the United States and the United Nations helped relocate to Colorado now faces a terrorism charge.
Jamshid Muhtorov opposed his home country's dictator following a 2005 massacre, endured a brutal detention, and saw his sister arrested on a false murder charge. The 35-year-old fled his country by night dressed as a woman, and the U.S. and the U.N. helped bring him to Aurora in 2007.
Dressed as a woman? Burka?
- Now, he's accused of providing material support and attempting to provide material support to the Islamic Jihad Union. The violent group opposes the Uzbek government and has been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department.
- Authorities arrested Muhtorov in Chicago on Jan. 21, the Denver Post reported Tuesday ( http://bit.ly/yHsRIF ).
- Federal authorities say the Islamic Jihad Union has claimed responsibility for attacks on coalition forces in Afghanistan, including a March 2008 suicide attack on a U.S. base. The group is also blamed for carrying out simultaneous suicide bombings of the U.S. and Israeli embassies and a prosecutor's office in Tashkent, Uzbekistan."...

Another Uzbek got in the US with no problem, based himself in Alabama, and was arrested in 2011 for threatening to kill Obama.
7/26/11, "Update: Uzbek national in Pelham indicted on charges of threatening president, weapons possession," Birmingham (Alabama) News, Kent Faulk
"An Uzbekistan native was indicted by a federal grand jury today for threatening the life of President Barack Obama and illegally possessing weapons, including a fully automatic weapon and a grenade, federal authorities announced.
Ulugbek Kodirov, 21, of Uzbekistan, was charged with four counts of threatening the president - on July 9, July 10, July 11 and July 13. He also was charged with being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm and unlawfully possessing a fully automatic weapon. Both of those weapons counts refer to a Sendra Corporation Model M15-A1 rifle which he bought from undercover law enforcement agents before his arrest on July 13, according to court documents.
The indictment, filed in U.S. District Court in Birmingham, also charges Kodirov with receiving and possessing an unregistered grenade on July 13. He had four grenades, but the powder was not in them, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office."...
