new twist in Idaho sex assault case
Federal prosecutor's stern warning 'threatens free speech' of citizens, media
The Obama-appointed U.S. attorney for Idaho has taken the highly unusual step of intervening in a local criminal case involving an alleged sexual assault by juvenile Muslim migrants and threatened the community and media with federal prosecution if they “spread false information or inflammatory statements about the perpetrators.”
U.S. Attorney for Idaho Wendy J. Olson, was appointed by President Obama in 2010.
She issued a statement on ‘building resilient communities” on July 10, 2015, after meeting with law enforcement, the ACLU and other groups to discuss “anti-refugee” and “anti-Muslim” sentiments in Idaho and across the country that she deemed were “seeking to divide communities.”
Olson used the language of the United Nations-sanctioned “Strong Cities Network” or SCN, which was announced by Attorney General Loretta Lynch at the U.N. last fall, when she called for building “resilient communities” in the fight against “violent extremism.”
Olson called this meeting and issued her statement ahead of the trial that ended up convicting Fazliddin Kurbanov, a Muslim refugee from Uzbekistan, of conspiring to blow up U.S. military installations with homemade bombs being made in his Boise apartment. An
Idaho jury convicted Kurbanov on terror charges in August last year following a 20-day trial and two days of deliberation.
Terrorist Fazliddin Kurbanov was a refugee resettled in Boise in 2009. He was convicted by a jury last August of planning attacks against U.S. military installations.
Prosecutors also said he tried to provide computer support and money to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which the U.S. government has identified as a terrorist organization.
Kurbanov, a Russian-speaking truck driver, is just one of dozens of refugees who have been tried and convicted on terrorism charges. More than 35 Somali refugees have also left the U.S. to join foreign terrorist organizations including al-Shabab and ISIS. Two Iraqi refugees were charged and convicted in 2011 of providing material support to al-Qaida.
“So in the run-up to that Kurbanov trial she (Olson) was wanting to make sure there was no backlash against Muslims,” Corcoran observed, even as more United Nations-selected refugees from Shariah-compliant Muslim countries were being planted in U.S. cities and towns. They are being resettled in more than 190 cities from Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan, Burma, Bosnia, Uzbekistan and Iraq as part of the federal government’s refugee resettlement program.
