San Diego Muslim woman sentenced for bankrolling Islamic terrorists


Yusuf suggested that America was responsible for the 9/11 attacks and expressed hope for an even greater catastrophe in the future: “Oh. It will be happening again. Trust me, more this time it will be double…triple their deaths. [Laughter.]

A San Diego woman who conspired to provide material support to a terrorist organization based in Somalia was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in federal prison.

As part of her guilty plea, Nima Yusuf, 25, admitted that she conspired with four others — identified in court papers as Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan, Abdisalan Hussein Ali, Cabdulaahi Faarax and Abdiweli Yassin Isse — to provide support to al-Shabaab in the form of money and personnel to work under the direction of the terrorist organization.

Yusuf was arrested in November 2010. She admitted sending $1,450 to the men, who were then fighting in Somalia for al-Shabaab, and to lying to federal agents about her financial support for the fighters.


According to court documents, Yusuf understood and supported al-Shabaab’s military efforts.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Daphne Hearn said law enforcement is committed to keeping the country and communities safe.

“We will aggressively pursue those who choose to send money or other resources to organizations that support terrorist acts,” Hearn said.”This is a serious crime against our country and our citizenry, and those who engage in these practices will meet the consequences of their actions in our judicial system.”

In a March 2010 phone call, Yusuf suggested that America was responsible for the 9/11 attacks and expressed hope for an even greater catastrophe in the future, according to court documents.
Hassan, Ali, Faarax and Isse are charged separately in a federal grand jury indictment in Minnesota for conspiring to provide material support to al-Shabaab, among other offenses.

From the FBI presser:
When Faraax told Yusuf in an April 2010 phone call that al Shabaab had completed a successful “martyrdom operation” in which Burundian peacekeeping troops were killed, Yusuf responded, “Oh my God. God is great. Wonderful. I swear to God, you told me something to be happy about.”
U.S. Attorney Duffy stated, “The law forbids the provision of financial support to foreign terrorist organizations. We encourage community members to remain vigilant and to alert the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Joint Terrorism Task Force of any individuals providing support, financial or otherwise, to terrorist organizations.”
FBI Special Agent in Charge Daphne Hearn commented, “The FBI and our law enforcement partners are committed to keeping this country and our communities safe. We will aggressively pursue those who choose to send money or other resources to organizations that support terrorist acts. This is a serious crime against our country and our citizenry, and those who engage in these practices will meet the consequences of their actions in our judicial system.”
According to court documents, in a March 2010 phone call, Yusuf suggested that America was responsible for the 9/11 attacks and expressed hope for an even greater catastrophe in the future: “Oh. It will be happening again. Trust me, more this time it will be double…triple their deaths. [Laughter.]”
Lest you think the Somali community condemns Yusuf, a Somali site flying the flag of jihad, depicting images of the Blind Sheik and AK 47 waving al Shabaab terrorists has a support page for Yusuf stating support from the community, students, mosque and her pictured with an imam and what appears to be an unidentified politician. (he’s used prominently in several other posts too)

And we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out the hypocrisy of this FBI statement, “We will aggressively pursue those who choose to send money or other resources to organizations that support terrorist acts.”
As we have proven, this only applies to Muslims not currently in favor with and not funding the same Islamic terrorists that the Obama administration is funding and arming.
