For those who balk at the mere mention that even a single Syrian refugee could turn out to be a jihadist, we have news for you: A new list, disseminated by Sen. Jeff Sessions, reveals that in 2015 alone 12 "vetted refugees" allowed entry into the US immediately joined terror cells and plotted attacks against the country.
Sessions is highlighting the failures of the vetting process as he rallies fellow GOP lawmakers to deter the Congressional process that would approve some 10,000 Syrian refugees entry into the US.
Below is a sampling of the newly released yet incomplete 2015 list, published in Breitbart:
Liban Haji Mohamed – a native of Somalia who sources indicate came to the United States as a refugee, adjusted to Lawful Permanent Resident status, and subsequently applied for and received citizenship – for allegedly providing material support to Harakat Shabaab Al-Mujahidin, also known as Al-Shabaab and Al-Qaeda.
Abdinassir Mohamud Ibrahim – a native of Somalia who came to the United States as a refugee in 2007 at the age of 22 and subsequently adjusted to Lawful Permanent Resident status – was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for conspiring to provide material support to Al-Shabaab, a designated foreign terrorist organization, and for making a false statement in his immigration paperwork.
Abdullah Ramo Pazara – a native of Bosnia who sources indicate came to the United States as a refugee, adjusted to Lawful Permanent Resident status, and subsequently applied for and received citizenship in 2013 Pazara … left the United States to go to Syria and fight with ISIS just eleven days after becoming a citizen.
Ramiz Zijad Hodzic – a native of Bosnia, and a purported Bosnian war hero who came to the United States as a refugee – was charged with conspiring to provide material support and resources to terrorists, with providing material support to terrorists, and conspiring to kill and maim persons in a foreign country.
Sedina Unkic Hodzic – the wife of Ramiz Zijad Hodzic, and a native of Bosnia who came to the United States as a refugee – was charged with conspiring to provide material support and resources to terrorists, and providing material support to terrorists. According to the indictment, Sedina, along with her husband, collected money from third parties and wired it to terrorists abroad.
Nihad Rosic – a native of Bosnia who sources indicate came to the United States as a refugee, adjusted to Lawful Permanent Resident status, and subsequently applied for and received citizenship – was charged with conspiring to provide material support and resources to terrorists, providing material support to terrorists, and conspiring to kill and maim persons in a foreign country. According to the indictment, Rosic sent funds to terrorists abroad, and attempted to travel to Syria to join terrorists in Syria and Iraq.
Abdurahman Yasin Daud – who was born in a refugee camp in Kenya, came to the United States as a refugee when he was a child, and subsequently adjusted to Lawful Permanent Resident status – was charged (along with six others) with conspiracy and attempt to provide material support to ISIS.
Additional details on the people above and other indicted refugees named in Sessions' list can be accessed in its entirety on Breitbart.
Of course, the vetting process is riddle with flaws, not least of which is due to the fact that the so-called refugees often obscure their past behavior and can obtain fake identification documents with ease.
The list, according to one Hill aide, "illustrates just how incapable our government is of vetting refugees or predicting post-entry radicalization.”
