Last Monday I shared a story from PJ Media about a bombing attack at a Social Security Administration office near Phoenix. The man arrested in the incident was Abdullatif Aldosary. The bomb he allegedly placed near the back door of the building was described as similar to an IED. No one was hurt during the blast but a car in the parking lot was badly damaged. The story has yet to gain much national attention.
Today I checked in at PJ Media and discovered an update to the story. Details were given about what was found in Aldosary’s apartment included a bomb making manual, an AK-47, a 9mm Ruger, more than a thousand rounds of ammunition, and chemicals used in bomb making. He also had more than $20 thousand according to bank statements even though he was an ex-felon and day laborer.
…Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ)…received a request from Aldosary in November 2011 for assistance in obtaining a “green card”.
According to today’s news report, the Department of Homeland Security responded to Gosar’s request on behalf of Aldosary last year by saying that he was ineligible for a change in status because of “terrorism-related grounds of inadmissibility” (emphasis mine)
Homeland Security guidelines for refusing the green card request include activities associated with terrorist acts or terror organizations: “…an intention to cause death or serious bodily injury, a terrorist activity; to prepare or plan a terrorist activity; to gather information on potential targets for terrorist activity…”
Representative Gosar’s office is about a block away from the bomb site. He’s written a letter to Homeland Security asking a few pointed questions. I can understand his concern. A foreign man with ties to terror that’s been denied a green card blows up a bomb outside a federal building and nobody notices? What is the deal? Why aren’t journalists and reporters asking questions? Why is this man in the country and how did he arrive on our shores?
PJ Media promises further updates.
