Al Qaeda Operative Charges Unsealed

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

A Federal indictment unsealed Wednesday revealed an Al-Qaeda operative has been charged with plotting to kill American diplomats in Nigeria and American military members in Afghanistan.

Ibrahim Suleiman Adnan Adam Harun was captured in 2005 and extradited to New York City last year. A secret hearing was held in a Brooklyn federal court to arraign Harun. The prosecutor’s statement showed Harun went to Afghanistan just before the Sept. 11, 2001, so he could fight against the U.S. in a jihad force. After training, he was sent to Africa with instructions to attack American installations.

Harun planned to attack the U.S. embassy in the Nigerian capital of Abuja and a second Nigerian consulate but both attacks failed without clear explanation as to the cause of failure.

He was captured in 2005 during an attempt to flee Libya and was held until June 2011 when Italian officials caught him trying to board a boat to Italy. He was then extradited to the U.S. to face trial.
