Keeping it in the family

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man is charged with providing material support to the Islamic State extremist group, including attempting to buy multiple weapons and scouting potential targets for an attack in the Tampa Bay area, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

A criminal complaint charges Muhammed Momtaz Al-Azhari, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen, with attempting to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. The charge carries a potential 20-year prison term.

A Muslim woman was shot and killed by Temple Terrace Police Officers after she charged at one of them with a butcher knife outside of City Hall.

The woman was identified as 21-year-old Heba Momtaz Alazhari, who is the sister of Muhammed Momtaz Al-Azhari, a 23-year-old Tampa man arrested earlier this week by the FBI on a federal charge of attempting to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, the Islamic State (ISIS).

    Wait, wait a minute! How is this guy a US citizen after serving time for terrorism in Saudi then "deported" to the US?? There are a multitude of other questions as well.

      Most likely: He was born in the US to Saudi immigrants. When he was old enough to travel on his own, he went to Saudi Arabia and misbehaved. They locked him up for a while, then deported him back to his country of origin.

      Now, I don't know if we could have kept him locked up on account of those Saudi charges, but we can't exclude someone who is a US citizen by right of birth.
