Afghan National Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Plotting Election Day Terror
By Paul Davis
A reader emailed me a while back and criticized me for “creating alarm about Islamic terrorism when in fact domestic terrorism by white, right-wing criminals was the true threat to America.” I replied that yes, domestic terrorism by home-grown criminals is certainly a concern, and I’ve addressed that concern here and elsewhere. But I also stated that radical Islamic terrorism remains a serious threat to our country.
A case in point is Abdullah Haji Zada, 19, who on November 20th was sentenced to serve the statutory maximum of 15 years in federal prison for knowingly receiving, attempting to receive, and conspiring to receive a firearm and ammunition to be used to commit a federal crime of terrorism.
