Convicted Terrorist Scheduled For Release

In 1973, a young terrorist named Khalid Duhham Al-Jawary entered the United States and quickly began plotting an audacious attack in New York City.

He built three powerful bombs — bombs powerful enough to kill, maim and destroy — and put them in rental cars scattered around town, near Israeli targets.

The plot failed. The explosive devices did not detonate, and Al-Jawary fled the country, escaping prosecution for nearly two decades — until he was convicted of terrorism charges in Brooklyn and sentenced to 30 years in federal penitentiary.

But his time is up.

In less than a month, the 63-year-old Al-Jawary is expected to be released. He will likely be deported; where to is anybody’s guess. The shadowy figure had so many aliases it’s almost impossible to know which country is his true homeland.

Al-Jawary has never admitted his dark past or offered up tidbits in exchange for his release. Much of Al-Jawary’s life remains a mystery — even to the dogged FBI case agent who tracked him down.

    Hopefully, this individual has been given that tiny (microscopic) device that will allow tracking and targeting once he is released.
    The comment about deporting him, puzzles me, if he had so many aliases and it’s almost impossible to know which country is his true homeland, where in the heck will he be deported to???? Perhaps a nice plane ride, open door, no parachute and a one-way ticket straight down would be the best…..he should not be allowed another chance to cause harm!
