The Jihadist Threat Through Visa Overstays

The American Spectator

Here's a typical American immigrant jihadi wearing his Kool Kampus Kollege Keffiyeh just like Greta Thunberg.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev carried out the
Boston Marathon terrorist attack 

. . ."Investigations into Manuchekhri’s activities raise critical questions about potential networks facilitating such illicit operations. While it’s unclear whether he acted independently or as part of a broader network, historical precedents suggest that extremist activities often involve communal or organizational support. 
"For instance, the Boston Marathon bombers and the San Bernardino attackers had connections to local communities and online forums that may have reinforced their radicalization. Similarly, Manuchekhri’s regular attendance at an Islamic cultural center in New York warrants scrutiny to determine if it played a role in his activities or if warning signs were overlooked.
Red Flags That Were Missed
"Alarmingly, several indicators of Manuchekhri’s radicalization were apparent yet unaddressed:
  • Communication with Known ISIS Operatives: Engaging in direct conversations with individuals affiliated with terrorist organizations.
  • Sharing Weapons Training Videos: Distributing footage of himself handling firearms, signaling potential preparation for violent acts.
  • Transferring Funds to High-Risk Regions: Sending substantial amounts of money to areas known for terrorist activities.

"The failure to detect these activities points to deficiencies in digital surveillance and counterterrorism efforts, especially concerning individuals who have overstayed their visas." . . .
