Amateur bomb boy Ahmed Mohamed to move with family to Qatar

At least now wanna-be bomb boy will receive the proper training he deserves!

Good luck bomb boy! See you on the battle field someday!




Texas 'clock kid' Ahmed Mohamed to move with family to Qatar, father says
Published October 21, 2015
·Associated Press

DALLAS – A 14-year-old Muslim boy who was arrested after a homemade clock he brought to school was mistaken for a possible bomb will be moving with his family to the Middle East so he can attend school there, his family said Tuesday.

Ahmed Mohamed's family released a statement saying they had accepted a foundation's offer to pay for his high school and college in Doha, Qatar. He recently visited the country as part of a whirlwind month that included a Monday stop at the White House and an appearance Tuesday at the U.S. Capitol.

"We are going to move to a place where my kids can study and learn, and all of them being accepted by that country," Ahmed's father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, told The Dallas Morning News before boarding an airplane from Washington back home to Texas on Tuesday.

Dad fears that his terror cell has been compromised.

Are they here as refugees? If so they must feel safe in Qatar so they are giving up their refugee status right? Woo Hoo we can stop giving them free money!

Ahhhh, so clock boy heads to Qatar...that bastion of freedom, anti-terrorism..and money.

Analysis: Qatar still negligent on terror finance

BY DAVID WEINBERG | August 19, 2015 | DWeinberg@Defenddemocracy.org | @DavidAWeinberg
The Long War Journal
http://www.longwarjournal.org/archiv...or-finance.php

Excerpt (complete article at link):
"Consequently, there is no persuasive reason to believe that Qatar has somehow turned over a new leaf since being labeled a “permissive terrorist financing environment” by Treasury’s then-Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David Cohen last year. Rather, Qatar seems to have violated its pledgefrom the latest anniversary of 9/11, when it committed to “countering financing of [the Islamic State] and other violent extremists” and “ending impunity and bringing perpetrators to justice” as the price for joining the anti-Islamic State coalition.

Doha seems to have taken all the wrong lessons from its bad press last year on terror finance, some of which was precipitated by an Emirati-funded US lobbying campaignthat has been borne out by the facts in numerous cases. Instead of systematically tackling terror finance, Doha announced plans to invest $35 billion in the US over five years and hired four of its own US lobbying firms as new foreign agents. Al-Monitorrevealed this month that one of these firms was “keeping close tabs” on the selection process for Cohen’s successor at Treasury.

President Obama’s nominee to replace Cohen as America’s top official for fighting terror finance, Adam Szubin, was quoted in the Treasury Department’s statement on August 5, calling Ka’bi and Kawari “major facilitators” in Al Qaeda’s regional network.

The US government is right to treat their case as a big deal. It should treat Qatar’s continued negligence as a big deal, too."

GOOD for Him and his Family.

I hope his Dad radicalized his Son so he will be killed by USSF or SAS.

The next "video" we see of bomb boy will be a drone or Apache strike on his bomb making compound deep in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen or A-Stan.

And his heading to Qatar will come as needed relief for some of the local goats.

Little Ahmed is in for a surprise if, as he or his sister said 'It's just like America'....except little Ahmed is black and Qatar is a racist Arab country.
Even as a little muzzie kid he'll rank one click above the hired help.
I hope he takes his extended family with....we can only hope.

If there was ever a case study on all the steps necessary to radicalize a kid this is it. All the ingredients are in the stock pot to get this kid to strap on a suicide vest and go out for a stroll. I hope "we" put this kid on a watch list ASAP.

The Islamic world is not without reprieve. There is a counter-radicalization move. It exists. Not much coverage by US MSM, but it's there
