FBI Entraps US Citizen Attempting to Join US-funded Al Qaeda in SyriaTony Cartalucci In its article, FBI: Aurora man wanted to join al-Qaida in Syria, the Chicago Tribune would report: Abdella Ahmad Tounisi, a U.S. citizen, was held without bail Saturday after being arrested the night before at OHare International Airport, where he was about to board an airplane to Istanbul, Turkey, FBI officials said in a press release. Bizarre, considering US ally and NATO-member Turkey has hosted thousands of other known terrorists passing through Turkish territory to invade Syria, and even facilitated their activities along with US CIA agents near the Turkish-Syrian border since the conflict in Syria began in 2011. The Chicago Tribune would specifically mention Al Qaedas Syrian franchise, Jahbat al-Nusra: Daoud allegedly drove the Jeep to the target identified by the Tribune as the Cactus Bar Grill at 404 S. Wells St. and walked to an alley a block away, where he pulled a triggering device he thought would explode the vehicle, authorities said. The bomb never exploded and Daoud was apprehended and is being held without bail. FBI officials said that in preparation for last years foiled attack, Tounisi had recommended certain attack techniques, offered ideas about targeting, and researched those locations online to analyze their feasibility. While Daoud allegedly continued his role in the plot, Tounisi backed out in mid-August because he suspected that the person Daoud was working with was an undercover law enforcement officer, according to the complaint. Daoud told the undercover officer that Tounisi wanted to go overseas and join a terrorist group. According to the complaint, hours after Daoud was arrested, Tounisi was interviewed by FBI agents and admitted to assisting Daoud in target selection and acknowledged that he had contemplated traveling to Yemen to carry out jihad. After Daouds arrest, Tounisi allegedly continued to research travel to Syria and terrorist organizations. He also applied for and obtained a new passport, officials said. Perhaps most ironic of all is what Tounisi is being charged with: This is particularly ironic because US Secretary of State John Kerry has just announced an additional $123 million in military aid that is headed directly to this very same foreign terrorist organization, Jahbat al-Nusra and unlike Tounisi, Kerry and his collaborators are not being charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. US is Funding, Arming Jabhat al-Nusra The FBIs bizarre entrapment racket is revealed to be a nationwide operation with multiple patsies being cultivated at any given time, with FBI agents literally running around the country with bombs, weapons, vehicles and would-be terrorists carrying out attacks only to be foiled at the last possible moment. That FBI agents have now arrested a target attempting to join a terrorist group who owes its continued existence in Syria to the US, British, French, Saudi, and Qatari governments, tells the tale of War on Terror out of control inspiring hapless would-be terrorists and real threats alike. While the US maintains that the inception and expansion of Al Qaeda in Syria is merely an unintended consequence of a spontaneous crisis in Syria, it was reported as early as 2007 that the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel plotted to arm and fund Al Qaeda affiliated sectarian extremists to overthrow the government of Syria in a sectarian-driven bloodbath. In Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hershs 2007 New Yorker article, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? the strategy was described as follows: It is now revealed that the US CIA is working along Syrias borders, funneling cash, equipment, supplies, and thousands of tons of weapons into Syria. It would be these very CIA agents, the FBIs witless patsy, Abdella Ahmad Tounisi, would have passed on his way to slaughter Syrians alongside Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists. The New York Times in their article titled, Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With C.I.A. Aid, admits that: The airlift, which began on a small scale in early 2012 and continued intermittently through last fall, expanded into a steady and much heavier flow late last year, the data shows. It has grown to include more than 160 military cargo flights by Jordanian, Saudi and Qatari military-style cargo planes landing at Esenboga Airport near Ankara, and, to a lesser degree, at other Turkish and Jordanian airports. The New York Times piece attempts to spin Americas role in arming militants in Syria. The Times continues by stating: However, this contradicts both documented intentions reported by the New Yorkers Seymour Hersh in 2007, and the strategic realities on the ground in Syria today. While the US claims it is steering weapons away from Islamist groups, the US State Department admits that al-Nusra, (listed by the State Department as a foreign terrorist organization), operates in every major Syrian city, has carried out hundreds of terrorist operations since 2011, and is clearly the most prominent militant group in Syria today. The official US State Department statement announcing al-Nusra as a foreign terrorist organization and an alias of Al Qaeda in Iraq stated: Western media would elaborate on the prominence al-Nusra has achieved in Syrias 2 year-long conflict. The New York Times article Syrian Rebels Tied to Al Qaeda Play Key Role in War, states: While the London Telegraph reports in their article, Syria: how jihadist group Jabhat al-Nusra is taking over Syrias revolution, that: How does the West reconcile admissions it and its regional allies are sending torrents of cash, equipment, supplies, and thousands of tons of weapons to moderates in Syria, with al-Nusras rise in prominence? If the West, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Jordan are substantially propping up moderates, who then, is sending even more aid to Al Qaedas al-Nusra? The reality is, there are no moderates, and as stated in Seymour Hershs New Yorker report in 2007, the plan was from the beginning to arm and fund Al Qaeda in Syria to overthrow the Syrian government in a sectarian bloodbath. Statements of steering arms to moderates are crafted for the gullible publics consumption only. That the FBI is arresting entrapped patsies attempting to join al-Nusra in a conflict intentionally perpetuated by the West, while the US State Department and Pentagon openly provide real material aid to the very same foreign terrorists, illustrates the unhinged nature of American domestic and foreign policy. It also depicts a nation out of control, orchestrating an increasingly complex and dangerous militant threat that is creating and inspiring real human suffering, from Boston to Damascus.
