FOR BREAKING NEWS
California Domestic Terrorist Charged With
Conspiring To attack U.S. Government And Religious Targets
by Michael
Webster:
Dec 15, 2007
3:00 AM PST
According to a
special federal Terrorism Task Force two California state prison
convicts who were reported in the Laguna Journal earlier as being part
of a domestic terrorist cell pleaded guilty to federal terrorism
charges, admitting that they conspired to attack United States military
operations, "infidels," and Israeli and Jewish facilities in the Los
Angeles area while in prison.
The two men -
Kevin James, who formed the terror group while serving time in a
California state prison, and Levar Washington, who was recruited by
James while in state prison where he recruited others into the plot -
pleaded guilty to conspiring to wage war against the United States a
felony.
The third member
of the radical Islamic organization which James dubbed Jam'iyyat Ul-Islam
Is-Saheeh, or JIS - Gregory Patterson - also plead guilty to the
terrorism conspiracy charge. A fourth member of JIS named in an
indictment - Hammad Samana - has been found unfit to stand trial and is
currently receiving psychiatric care at a federal prison facility.
FBI Director
Robert S. Mueller III stated: "This is a case in which a terrorist cell
grew out of a prison cell. Despite the fact that they had no connection
to al-Qaeda leaders, they had adopted their cause. These home-grown
terrorists had raised the money, recruited the people, chosen the
targets, obtained the weapons and set the date. All they had left to do
was to strike. The JIS case is an outstanding example of how the Joint
Terrorist Task Force system works. A local crime yielded clues that
pointed to terrorism. That information was brought to the JTTF and soon
over 300 FBI personnel and police officers were tracking suspects and
unraveling the plot. It was the superb partnership between law
enforcement agencies that prevented that."
"We are keenly
aware of the threat posed by home-grown terrorism. As the guilty pleas
today demonstrate, we will continue to identify and disrupt extremist
cells before they can inflict harm. This case demonstrates how law
enforcement cooperation at all levels thwarted a domestic plot that
targeted U.S. military facilities as well as Israeli and Jewish
facilities in the Los Angeles area," said Attorney General Michael B.
Mukasey.
U.S. Attorney
Thomas P. O'Brien commented: "The prevention of future terrorist attacks
is the number one priority of the Justice Department, and the
investigation and successful prosecution of the JIS terrorist
organization stands out as a landmark case in Southern California. With
the defendants considering a series of targets to attack - including
U.S. Army personnel, synagogues and others perceived as 'infidels'- this
terror plot had reached an advanced level. Because these men were driven
by ideological fervor, had a demonstrated ability to obtain weapons, and
had planned attacks on identified targets, an untold number of lives may
have been saved when this terrorist cell was dismantled."
In plea
agreements filed in court proceedings conducted in the United States
District Court in Orange county California (Santa Ana), James and
Washington admitted that they conspired "to levy war against the
government of the United States through terrorism, and to oppose by
force the authority of the United States government."
FBI Assistant
Director in Charge Salvador Hernandez told the Laguna Journal: "Law
enforcement personnel at all levels put forth a tremendous effort to put
this case together and the proof of that is evident today. A terrorist
attack on the city of Los Angeles, hatched in our midst and on our soil,
was thwarted in the advanced planning stage. This case is a perfect
example of the Joint Terrorism Task Force in that no single agency could
have done this alone."
After forming JIS
in 1997 while in state prison, James recruited Washington into the
organization in late 2004 while both were prisoners at New Folsom
Prison, where James had Washington swear an oath of loyalty and
obedience to James and to JIS. After his release from prison several
weeks after taking the JIS oath, Washington recruited Patterson and
Samana into JIS and had them swear oaths of allegiance and obedience to
JIS. After forming this cell, Washington and Patterson conducted about a
dozen armed robberies of gas stations to supply money for the group's
planned attacks in the Los Angeles area.
Samana researched
targets and prepared a document called "Modes of Attack." The document
listed "LAX and Consulate of Zion," "Military Targets," "Army Recruiting
centers throughout the county," "Military base in Manhattan Beach" and
"Campsite of Zion."
Revealed by law
enforcement task force members admitted after Torrance Police
investigators linked the two to a gas station robbery, various Jihadist
documents were found at a South Los Angeles apartment where Washington
and Patterson lived. In addition to the "Modes of Attack" document,
investigators discovered a document titled "Notoriety Moves," which
contained a James-authored statement to be given to the media after a
deadly attack. The proposed press statement reads, in part, "This
incident is the first in a series of incidents to come in a plight to
defend and propagate traditional Islam in its purity." The document also
warns "sincere Muslims" to avoid a series of targets, including "Those
Jewish and non-Jewish supporters of an Israeli state."
Torrance Police
Chief John J. Neu said: "I am proud of the dedication and
professionalism displayed by all involved in this critical case. The
awareness, knowledge, skills and abilities of the officers involved
effectively thwarted this terrorist plot. This case is a prime example
of the powerful radical influence which poses a serious threat from
within right here in Southern California. Today's announcement shows
that through teamwork we can effectively combat this threat. Unity is
the key."
Los Angeles
Police Deputy Chief Michael Downing, Commanding Officer,
Counter-Terrorism and Criminal Intelligence Bureau, stated: "This case
was an outstanding example of cooperation between local, state and
federal law enforcement and in particular the Joint Terrorism Task Force
(JTTF) model. It also illustrates that the best information comes from
the cops on the beat and those involved in criminal investigations,
hence the all-crimes approach to terrorism prevention. Homegrown
terrorism remains a grave concern for the security of our country and
this cell was closer to going operational than any we have seen
post-911. Jamiyyat UI Is Saheeh (JIS), translated as Assembly of
Authentic Islam, practiced a form radicalized Islam that was neither
authentic nor peaceful."
James and
Patterson pleaded guilty before United States District Judge Cormac J.
Carney, who is scheduled to sentence James on March 31 and Washington on
April 28. As a result of his guilty plea, James faces a statutory
maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. Washington, who also
pleaded guilty to using a firearm in relation to the terrorist plot,
faces up to 25 years in prison.
"Investigators
from the Office of Correctional Safety dedicated a significant amount of
time and resources to this case. Our department has a long history of
dealing with prison gangs and inmates who advocate violence. We assist
our law enforcement partners on many investigations to root out criminal
organized enterprise activity in our prisons," said Undersecretary David
L. Runnels, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
The investigation
into the terrorist conspiracy was led by the FBI's Long Beach Joint
Terrorism Task Force, whose participating agencies include the Los
Angeles Police Department; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; the
Torrance Police Department; the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department;
the Long Beach Police Department; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; the
Los Angeles Port Police; U.S. Customs and Border Protection; the U.S.
Coast Guard Investigative Service; the Defense Criminal Investigative
Service; and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Redondo
Beach Police Department.
As discussed
substantial assistance during the investigation was provided by the Los
Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Bureau of Investigations; the
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation; the California
Department of Justice; the Drug Enforcement Administration; the U.S. Air
Force Office of Special Investigations; and the Department of Defense.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office worked collaboratively
with the United States Attorney's Office during the investigation.
