9/22/14, "Boston a focus of government's crackdown on 'U.S.-Jihad pipeline'," wcvb.com, Boston
"Stoughton man accused joining ISIS, spreading messages on social media."
"The federal government is targeting Boston and two other American cities
to shut down what they are calling the U.S.-Jihad pipeline to ISIS in
an attempt to stop Americans from joining the terrorist organization,
ABC News reported Monday.
Efforts to shut down the pipeline will focus on Boston, Minneapolis
and Los Angeles; cities from where a number of young recruits for ISIS
training originated.
Ahmad Abousamra,
a dual American-Syrian citizen, was born in France but grew up in
Stoughton and attended Xaverian Brothers Catholic High School in
Westwood before transferring to Stoughton High School during his senior
year.
Abousamra has been on the run from the FBI for years, and is
suspected of joining ISIS and using his computer skills to spread ISIS'
messages on social media, according to ABC News.
ISIS released
new videos in which they are calling on Muslims to kill people in
countries that belong to the anti-ISIS, United States-led coalition.
"If
you can kill a disbelieving American or European, especially the
spiteful and filthy French, or an Australian, or Canadian or any other
disbeliever, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way
however it may be,' an ISIS spokesman said.
U.S. officials said Monday that confronting the threat from ISIS is now of the highest urgency, ABC News's Brian Ross reported.
"We
are working very closely with our international partners to try and
mitigate this threat," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said.
"And to try and keep eyes on individuals and to monitor their
movements."" via Pamela Geller
