Chicago: Lebanese terror suspect get 23 years in jail

Sami Samir Hassoun get 23 years in jailA Chicago man who thought the backpack he left near Wrigley Field contained a bomb was sentenced Thursday to 23 years in federal prison.

Sami Samir Hassoun, 25, a Lebanese citizen and permanent resident alien, was given the lengthy prison term for one count each of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempted use of an explosive device, the U.S. attorney’s office said in a release.

Hassoun pleaded guilty in April 2012 to placing what he thought was a powerful explosive device in a curbside trash container on a crowded street near the Chicago ball field in September 2010.

Rather than a bomb, however, it was a fake explosive device given him by undercover FBI agents investigating and monitoring his proclaimed desire to commit acts of violence in the city for monetary gain and to cause local political instability, federal authorities said.

“The thought of what might have happened if it was real is horrific,” said U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman, who ordered Hassoun to serve five years of supervised release following his incarceration. Hassoun will be subject to deportation when he is released, the judge said.

Authorities said Hassoun chose the location and time of the proposed attack; there was a Dave Matthews concert at Wrigley Field Saturday night, Sept. 18, 2010, just before he was arrested.

“If the bag that Hassoun left in that Clark Street trash receptacle had contained the type of explosive device that he thought it did, the results would have been horrific,” U.S. Attorney Gary S. Shapiro said. “In conversation after conversation, Hassoun made clear that he was willing to bomb innocents and shoot police officers as part of a bizarre effort to destabilize the city of Chicago. And his actions demonstrated that his words were more than empty bravado.”

      “BOSTON BOMBERS FOLLOWERS OF IRAN’S AYATOLLAH”

      Google the above to find the full report

      The two brothers who set off the bombs at the Boston Marathon Monday were assets of a bigger network out of South Asia and were set up to be burned so there would be no link back to their handlers – and Iran.

      As reported exclusively April 16, a source within the Iranian intelligence services told that the Islamic regime had links to Monday’s bombings and that Hezbollah terrorists and Quds Forces were involved in the shadows. The information was shared with U.S. officials.

    Chechen brothers were likely recruited and trained by other assets connected with Hezbollah operators with centers in South Asia to carry out their terror attack and then abandoned so there would be no link to Iran.
    This recruitment is possible through Al-Qaeda and its front organization “Hezbuttahrir” as this group pretend to be sunni but with a little background check on them reveals their pro Iranian stance among their top leaders and a sufi/Shia connection.

    The Iranian regime’s Quds Forces, along with Hezbollah, have long been recruiting and training terrorists with a focus in Herzegovina, Chechnya, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other parts of the world, extending into Latin America. A new focus in the recruiting is on Sunni Muslims and non-Arabs to avoid any trace back to Iran and Hezbollah and to either present an apparent link to al-Qaida or individuals acting on their own. This recruitment can not be straight forward rather it need a group who can covertly recruit the sunnis who have a strong cover as sunni.

    Three main operatives of Hezbollah who, in collaboration with the Quds Forces, are likely to have been involved in the planning of the Boston bombings are:

    Mustafa Badr Al Din, the brother-in-law and cousin of the dead terrorist Imad Mugniyah, who now serves as Mugnyiah’s replacement as the military leader of Hezbollah and who also serves as the deputy of Qasem Soliemani, the head of the Islamic regime’s Quds Forces.

    Mohammad Ali Hamadei, on the FBI’s most-wanted list, a Hezbollah operator responsible for operation and infiltration of forces into America who was based in New Mexico with a Latin American passport and who was also seen last year in England.

    Talal Hamieh, the head of Hezbollah’s External Security Organization responsible for operations outside of Lebanon. He has been in Mexico collaborating with drug cartels to raise funds for Hezbollah cells and facilitates the transfer of arms and terrorists into the U.S.
