The Department of Justice announced the arrest of a Syrian refugee on Wednesday in connection with an Islamic State-inspired terrorist attack on a Christian church in Pittsburgh.
According to the criminal complaint, Alowemer was born in Daraa, Syria and was admitted to the U.S. as a refugee in August 2016. The complaint also alleges that Alowemer further detailed his plans and support for ISIS and jihad in social media communications. The DOJ also said Alowemer had drafted a"10-point handwritten plan" related to a plot to bomb the church, and printed out copies of satellite maps from Google which he provided to a source working for the FBI as well as an undercover FBI employee.
This is why we should just kill all the refugees, then we don’t need to waist money providing for them
Thanks Obama.
AngeleStar11 Once again, our President was right.
Thanks Obummer- you will pay dearly for this! A Traitors Justice- 11|11
.It will be a forever ongoing issue.
Someone should propose an immigration ban and extreme vetting... Oh wait
Its a wonderful idea to import people who hate us. Thanks Obama
Time that Old Sparky was re-introduced for terrorists! So it hurts? It's Supposed to it's a Punishment! I wish we still had the Death Penalty here in the UK! 😡
ALLAH BLESS THE SOLDIERS OF ISLAMIC STATE
Just boggles my mind as to how we solve racial and religious issues.
Send them all back.
Was this person a Christian or a Jew? Do not want Twitter to ban me again for calling the terrorist a Moo Slum
Feds arrest Democrat dreamer accused of plotting ISIS-inspired terrorist attack on Pittsburgh church. progressives cry racism demanding his release from the concentration camp
Dreamer
Good job Feds but why again is he here?
And Hillary had promised to bring HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Syrians here. Thank God for Trump.
TrumpWasRight
Refugee bullshit.. as much of a refugee as a swede or anything..
And u people slam Trump for is TravelBan?
Thank God he was found out before anything happened.
Thank you Obuma for letting terrorists into the USA. Good job. Not.
Finally a true story.
This is highly islamophobic he didn't know any better he was oppressed
THANKS, DemoKKKrats!!!!!
What if he had kill a lot of people during a Forth of July event? That would ruin everyone's holiday.
But the Democrats told me that this would not happen
SHOCKED. SHOCKED. SHOCKED.. oh my word I could never imagine
What I'm shocked
Oh WAO WHAT A CLUE THIS WILL GO SO MUCH VIRAL LIKE FIRE IN FOREST, thanks not talking about grannie of New Zealand shooter saying he is inspired by ISIS INFACT inspired by Mr Trump,
Thank you ABC for pulling your head out of your azz long enough to report this insanity.
No one can fault the Feds when they arrest someone like this.
Hmmm I wonder how he got here? 🤔
Honestly everyone should be restricted to their countries
Looks like the ban on migration from terrorism-linked countries was a great idea....
Let me guess? Religion of Peace supporter?
And let’s keep immigration the way it is. Import more of these people. The 911 commission already warrant us on this in 2005
It's only going to get worse. We've let them in on our soil.
IlhanMN thoughts
Myron_Gainezzz
ThanksObama
Damn white nationalist. Oops...wait a second.
You can’t report this! It’s against the open borders, immigrants-are-better-than-natives leftist narrative. Fire this reporter, we don’t what the truth.
A travel ban would have been helpful.
oh man.
Thank God for those hard working FBI agents doing their job. Grateful for their dedication to catching the real bad guys every day. Bless them.
And people felt that it was terrible to at least ask questions about how these refugees would be vetted.
Boarder security🇺🇸👍
Melishous Terrorist plots should come with a public HANGING!
Get ready people! The caliphate is real! Look at what they are doing to Europe. We can’t let that happen here!
Maybe Will_Bunch and soledadobrien will mention it 🤣😂🤣🤣
Thank you realDonaldTrump
'Cultural enrichment' Thanks Obama 👹🤬
Well well well
Thankfully our President put a halt to immigration from that country.
ryanmauro On the other front... you were right😀
No, no immigration problems here...smh
How’d they get here to begin with?
TheDemocrats this is your doing? Are you going to do your job from now on? Or are you going to sit & wait for another incident! STOP wasting the taxpayer’s money, stop making up STUPID accusations! Do something about the Immigration & illegal aliens esp. the criminals!
Thank the Lord!!
Now you know realDonaldTrump was right all along
Was he a Presbyterian?
Our new Country will be so great. AnnCoulter
Must defend our US borders more efficiently
realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr I thought Trump single handily defeated ISIS. Go figure! the trumps will rot in hell! Cause they are nothing but garbage worthless and should just run to Russia and hide with their daddy putin!
Why are we letting these terrorists into our country? Refugee roulette: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
BuildTheWall
EdIsBackKAG2020 He is one of those Syrians that Obama let in. CNN WhiteHouse MSNBC CloseTheBorder AmericaFirst
Yet you still call a foreign soldier that infiltrated the county to commit attacks a 'refugee'? Did you suffer a head injury or something?
Immigrant, not tefugee. Tell the TRUTH.
But you know, we need to take them all in and love them as our own.
Muslims will be Muslims . High time the world understood
But AOC and IlhanMN said all domestic terrorists were white supremacists. I’m so confused.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍💟🙏💟
Came to America 'desperately seeking a better life for himself and his family,' I see...
Well, well, well.....
This is why we can’t have a liberal or a socialist in the White House.
Good job G-men
Yes we should let more in this country. How do liberals defend this?
Diversity is our strength or something.
ExtremeVetting TravelBan realDonaldTrump right again
And they tell us we don't need no Wall. What do you call this.😡
PamT817716 I’m surprised they caught them tbh.
EWErickson ….who was fully vetted by the Obama Administration. You forgot that fact. Never happen under Trump. TravelBanWorks ExtremeVetting
Has CNN blamed President Donald Trump yet?
“refugee” from Syria . Say no more. Arab terrorismo
Yeah but don’t demonize Islam says IlhanMN
this is what you vote for when you vote Democrat.
Omar
yes it is good he was caught! but he will become a celebrity; Get his own book deal,TV appearances. wow the ACLU will be sure to see to it!
But open arms, open borders! Love wins! Coexist!
Well look at that, y'all do still know how to report actual news, who would have thought Lol
jhjulian1956 They just seized 16 tons of cocaine in Philadelphia. 16 tons!
TakeAStandLeav1 And there you go....
I'm sorry.... refugee?
Thank you FBI.
But, it’s racist and islamaphobic to pause immigration and travel from Syria and for wanting secure borders...
Let me guess, he entered through the border with Mexico.
😹
Imagine that
Wow
Yay! Go Feds!
This is why we can not keep letting these Muslims in America. I am talking about the radicals that want to take over the world. Their religious beliefs contradict our American beliefs. We must stay alert, we do not want another 9/11 ever!!!!
Thank you BarackObama and HillaryClinton
Ya, this wasn’t predictable a few years ago...
JoLissa13 and if the travel ban was in effect he would have not been here well gosh thank you democrat and democrat judges and fake news MSM for promoting and supporting more terrorist among us
These are people the Democrats want in the country.
This guy came here in August 2016.... And the Left says the severe vetting & limited immigration policies that Trump later instituted to control immigration from places like Syria, where this guy came from, is somehow racist. This policy save's lives!
End him!!!
Thank you Obama for these radical terriorists you called refugees allowed into our country to destroy us from the inside.
Religion of peace.
CLOSE OUR BORDERS! 🤨
Pittsburgh mayor billpeduto will run to the Muslim community here and apologize. Just waiting for him to speak out. Crickets
I could’ve sworn someone was warning us about this, but I can’t remember who it was 🤔
is anyone shocked? really? anyone?
Omar’s cousin ?
SonyaLeeSimons1 Thank GOD MassDeportation starts next week.
So, extreme vetting, then?
Entered our USA in Aug 2016... thanks Obama
Got in before the MuslimBan
SadeABC 👏🏼 glad the Feds caught him .
IlhanMN Ilhan RashidaTlaib your church folk got caught
Wow, actual news from ABC. Weird
Will he and his family be deported ?
Friend of Ilhan Omar I wonder
But by all means, LET’S KEEP LETTING MORE ILLEGALS INTO THE USA!! THANKS, IDIOT DEMOCRATS!
Hmmm. This person was a refugee fleeing frommmmmm
Syrain.....MUSLIM? Or perhaps Amish?
Ilhan some people doing something again, see a pattern?
Wow! How many of these were already avoided by President Trump's immigration ban from Syria? TRUMP WAS RIGHT!
we should blame congress and ,Nancy Pelosi because they do not want to change the immigration laws or fix the problems at the border,
Let some more of the slime balls in to the country.
Wait a minute. What was omar’s comment on this ?
From where: Syria. Yep.
Thank God for the Feds and FBI STAY VIGILANT
Sadly, this doesn't surprise me. Good job by the FBI.
JHolloway1982 Its Ilhan Omar's fault.
rightwingertoo Hold on. The mainstream media and Democrats told us refugees never do these sorts of things. So clearly this person must have been a straight white Christian American male.
ryanmauro You all got it right. Exactly...
Mayor Peduto assures Pittsburgh he will continue to welcome “refugees” into the city. Nothing more important than that, eh? 🤣🤡🌎
I came here to see the battlefield in the comments.... All I found is not one 'open borders lib' for a thousand miles. They'll avoid this like the plague. They don't want to see the truth of the matter and that is that there are some we just don't need to let in.
Thank you for reporting
Did he have a female Somalian assistant in a government office?
FBI working FOR THE PEOPLE! Kudos to the FBI, May be hope for you yet!
Aren’t refugees great?! anncoulter
Imagine that 😩
dbongino DonaldJTrumpJr realDonaldTrump vicki_lugo *Trump wants him arrested. *Bernie says,' if he's a prisoner, we have to let prisoners vote'. *Democrats want to give him free health care and they'll throw in a drivers license if he needs it.
One terrorist caught but many domestic white supremacists with assault weapons and everyone loses loses focus.
How did he get into the country?
The bigotry is palpable on here. Fkin white so called Christian US citizen kill indiscriminately every fkin day.
Part n Parcel
Make sure you state the national origin and citizen status of every criminal you report on.
No way! really?
But the refugees were vetted, they were supposed to be safe.
this is why 2020 elections are so impotant: democrats want open borders, period - no worries about where an immigrants sympathies lay or if they've been exposed to small pox, swine/avian flu, polio, flesh eating bacteria, o ebola. GOP wants control of our borders & immigrants!
The liberals would say to let him go, give him free healthcare, a drivers license and white peoples money.
Why are we allowing refugees from the Middle East into our country? There’s plenty of room for them in the Middle East.
I’m sure Ilhan Omar will jump to his defense
That’s impossible. I’m told this never happens. Everyone who immigrates here from Syria are perfect law abiding people and there is no reason to vet them or we are bigots
This is exactly why there needs to be more thorough vetting for all refugees. Only stops the bad people and still allows for the good ones to get away from whatever situation they may be fleeing
KRMainEvent FinishTheDamnWall
Cultural enrichment.
Good!
One of Obama’s people.
Say it ain’t so, that’s not what the Demockrats said...they said let them all in it will be alright....MAGA!!
USA 🇺🇸 needs more refugees BuildThatWall
Refugee you say?
What could go wrong with open borders?
Deport
Yeah so thats why we should just go ahead and let them all in!! Yeah right!! Finish the Wall!!
Gheeeee!!!!! Ya think!!! Trump 2020.....ALL day!!!!
I thought they were all properly vetted and nothing to worry about?
An article said he recently graduated from a local high school - at age 21! This guy was in a high school w/14, 15 & 16 year old kids. 🙄
He can come to Oregon or Washington and get a driver's license.
Does he know Omar?
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The conflict in Syria is over, ship these refugees back. Let them rebuild their own country. KAG2020 DemocratsHateAmerica
Multiculturalism is awesome
Glad they stopped this terrorist. Good work. Too bad they couldn't stop that white terrorist who shot up the Pittsburgh synagogue, but ya know... I guess we take what we can get, amirite?
So your saying some guys did some things? IlhanMN
Thanks Obama
Won’t be the first, nor the last. This is why we should pick our neighbors carefully & definitely keep realDonaldTrump our POTUS for another term.
But all immigrants are terrific, aren't they?
AOC .... put him in the concentration camp!
“Vetted”
Oh, Syrian!
TheNicoleLynch A Syrian refugee you say...
Ilhan Omar & Rashida Tlaib: ‘Somebody did something’
Yay for open borders, right!? I mean, what could go wrong with open borders plus importing foreigners here to 'help' them.
maybe he was going to set it on fire and then the Media was going to tell everyone it was an accident before the fire was even out ... go figure
Don't you mean 'Pennsylvania man'?
And how did he get in, through Mexico. No.
Nothing to see here, move along. Refugees are all cool...
Breaking ABC News is Islamophobic by the new (non)standards.
AOC
Please, notify IlhanMN
Impossible. Refugees are all great people just looking for a better life.
But diversity is our strength
We need more refugees. Isn't that ABC's stance.
Look for Democrats running for a seat in Congress in 2020
Bernie wants to make sure he can vote.
It must have hurt to tweet this out..
This can’t be! They are all like us and safe. My world has been destroyed.
Imagine my shock
So will the Democrats run him for President.
Oh great. Keep bringing them in Our entire govt is working against America
Extreme vetting
Hmm guess Trump was right all along
Let them go free in a sanctuary city said a liberal
ISIS Sympathizer IlhanOmar RashidaTlaib WT? NOW!
realJohnGibbs Aww love open borders!!! Vote these Dems out
Can't be true. Jeb Bush said 'they come here out of love.'
HENCE THE IMMIGRATION POLICY!!!
I'm surprised your even covering this story!
AOC Tliab Omar tried to deflect and use their congressional positions and blamed in on White nationalism. Pathetic
Soooooo...... about that vetting process that y'all were griping about...
Wow explain this LEFT lol
Thought ISIS was dead?
Finally, the MAGA crowd found a single exception to the vast majority of peaceful refugees to base a condemnation on a whole ethnic group. First they came for the refugees, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a refugee.
ThErE iS nO ThrEAt FrOm ReFUgEEs. ThAts RaCist
Which just proves President Trump's decision to have ICE deport all these scumbags is the correct one
Another non-scandal for Obama, amirite JoeBiden?
News guy- Ok now that we got that out of the way back to Trump
Open borders!!!!
SantaCarlaGuy Surprised they’re even reporting this
There you go Dems you are putting us all st risk. You will get destroyed this election as you should
But we should definitely let more of them in!🙄
Syrian Refugee. Religion of peace plots again.
Sickening. Torture the pos for a few years then feed him to the lions
These are the people that the US government support in Syria and Idlib
I thought the FBI only investigated Republicans?
Awesome, let’s let more in.
That can’t be right, SpeakerPelosi told me all refugees are HEROES!
Thanks Obama! (sarc off)
Well imagine that. 🤔
But but I was told they were all refugees and there was no way ISIS could sneak in!?!? Oh and Orange Man Bad!!!
No way! This is unprecedented right IlhanMN ?
I thought refugees never commit terrorist acts according to CNN.
Colors me shocked
ABC why did you report this? Breaking News came out yesterday about Crooked Hillary Clinton and her emails. Report all the news and people will like you more
You are not supposed to report this. You are supposed to sweep it under the rug 😏
Lies. Immigrants aren't dangerous. Open the borders to all.
Weren’t the democrats saying that this NEVER happens and the border crisis is a manufactured crisis..?
But but the kkk!
Ilhan RashidaTlaib
I’m shocked this news came out, you guys are usually better at suppressing this kind of information.
Any chance we can close our borders now?
great job by our federal law enforcement is arresting a Syrian refugee accused of plotting attack on church.
Yeah but muh.... CONCENTRATION CAMPS!!!!
DavidMDrucker Really, peace loving Muslims planning an attack on a church. You’re kidding. Wake up America the next church could be yours.
Muslim ban would help. 😂😂
BarryMacDoubleU maybe we should have a better idea of who these people are? I know you would sleep better if we had more Syrian refugees in the country but let’s just try and keep everyone safe instead
Who was President in August 2016? I can’t believe half of America wistfully remembers the criminal BarackObama
And that is why we do not need so many coming into the country!
Syrian refugee = Muslim extremist
Gee why would we want extreme vetting
This can't possibly be true. I was told by the Democrats that they'd be grateful members of the Religion of Peace who were all doctors and would somehow pay for Social Security. Are you saying the Democratic party lied to me? //Sarc
Can you imagine how many others at are in the country. What a pathetic do nothing Congress. Keep our borders open so ISIS can make the big kill of American Citizens
It’s coming.
Johnny_Joey Open borders are cool.......not.
Pismo_B Big surprise. Not that this even happened. Definitely not that, but that you are reporting in it.
Oh no, sigh, I wonder how this could have happened 🤔🙄.
He won't be able to vote democrat in the election now
But remember “diversity is a strength”
Came here under refugee status Aug 1 2016. Obama deliberately created the Syrian refugee crisis
704Eric Imagine that.
.IlhanMN must be so disappointed.
Haven’t read the comments yet, but I will bet everything I own there are a ton of “ ya but white Christian terrorists” comments. Let’s see if twitter can cool the hypocrisy for a day....
To hell with Islamic nuts.
Any doubts as to the need for rigorous vetting of asylees or refugees? Another ingrate surfaces whose objective is to harm Americans. Thank God this ungrateful thug was apprehended and his disnolical plan thwarted.
IlhanMN cousin ?
HannahPa1 How strongly and precisely said!😀
Thanks Obama
Trumplar Thank you FBI. Sorry for the mean stuff I said about some of your leaders. You do important work.
This is incorrect. I was reliably lectured with statistics that this wouldn’t happen. Stop your xenophobia,
Radical Islamic Terrorist
What a surprise.
What a surprise. I guess the Dems are disappointed by the arrest of this idiot? Probably! Open borders. Obama and Dem bleeding hearts put us at risk!
rentonMagaUK What? A sweet refugee wanted to cause harm upon us? This can’t be true. I’m told they’re good people who just want a better life. Refugees good. Trump bad.
Is this another one of Obama’s imports? Didn’t Pittsburgh just have a horrific Anti-Semitic attack?
Nice job
Yeah, There's no crisis at the border. If only the mainstream media would report news instead of creating or ignore news.
Johnny_Joey How many refugees like him did Obama let in the country? Trump is right to not allow refugees from terror countries without a functioning government
IlhanMN is it you
Ilhan Omar's husband...oops I mean brother?
And thecDEMS want to open our boarders to ALL, well here ya go!!!!!
Refugee
Somebody was plotting to do something. IlhanMN
AOC any comment?
Only the best people... right IlhanMN?
MattMackowiak Where you at IlhanMN CNN
I think we were warned about this happening.
For christ sake
JimSatala This is Islam
Key word.....REFUGEE!
Repeat after me: war is peace censorship is free speech diversity is our strength
Ilhan IlhanMN Wow. You mean the “religion of peace” tries to KILL again? You going to CONDEM THIS?
Some people did something
'According to the criminal complaint, Alowemer was born in Daraa, Syria and was admitted to the U.S. as a refugee in August 2016.' Kind of like IlhanMN came as a refugee then brought her brother here illegally by marrying him. Permanently end the refugee program.
MAGA__Media So his campaign for Congress has to wait until he posts bail...
Let’s just keep letting more in
The religion of peace. Since it’s not a white man, CNN will not report it. Does not fit the narrative. Smh
Ilhan's next SOTU guest.
BenWeinthal No!!!! 😱😱😱😱 A Syrian refugee But..but...
So according to most comments here, every refugee is now a terrorist because this guy allegedly was plotting, but the white guy that shoots up a school or church is just a misguided nut and not a rep of a category.
No comment from Omar?
Meanwhile, in Brooklyn
Huh, that’s odd
He was just living up to the stereotype
Thankful they got him 🙏
Democrats own this big time!
You owe trump an apology now abc news
AbigailFolkert1 👇Check This OUT👇Retw.🔂
Thank God they caught him 😔
Dont' worry everyone, Mayor Peduto will be here to tell you it's not his fault and then blame white people any second now. Then he'll groom that amazing mustache and go have a free meal.
But he was providing Diversity which is our Strength so how is this possible?
I thought all refugees were poor people that want better lives just asking CNN and AOC. Need to deport illegals and Congress to do its job and do immigration reform. Quit investigating the President and comparing us to Nazi’s and do your actual jobs.
And there you have it...
Shocking..... look what all those fake UN Syrian chemical attacks got us......
…admitted during the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. Hence Extreme vetting and why it’s needed, because Democrats don’t give a rats ass about our safety. All about power for them NOT you or your family. So disturbing.
MAGA__Media Terrorism from the refugee/illegal immigrant society! BuildTheWall
jllgraham “According to the criminal complaint, Alowemer was born in Daraa, Syria and was admitted to the U.S. as a refugee in August 2016.” For my frens 👍🏻 who won’t click on “enemy of the the American peoples” sites.
jllgraham Hum. 🤔
Thanks billpeduto glad to hear u let these guys into our city....
redsteeze 'Refugee'
Then this is no refugee, it is a combatant disguised as a refugee. How many more are currently here and plotting attacks against innocent Americans?
Refugee huh Our country let's in to many of these so called refugees. They want to much. At noon they want their call to prayer. If a Baptist did that the ACLU's would have a cow.
seanmdav Shocked!!
LindaSuhler build the wall
PatriotLov More cultural enrichment can't get enough
LindaSuhler But I thought all refugees were harmless and just wanted a better life for them and their children? and while I'm at it, IlhanMN doesn't seem very grateful for the opportunities that this amazing country has afforded her? Hmmm. Pattern perhaps?
Thanks TheDemocrats !!!
Awesome. NOW CATCH THE NEXT DYLAN ROOF.
seanmdav Syrian 'refugee' aka Islamic terrorist. Fixed it for you ABC.
He was never a refugee. He was just posing as one in order to get in the country easier so he could do shit like this. There's more just like him out there.
Thanks, BarackObama
Is CNN running this story? I think not...
Thanks Obama
seanmdav I guess it’s true that not all refugees are equal
redsteeze The Syrian refugee who got caught plotting terrorist attack on Pittsburgh church came in 2016 as part of BarackObama resettlement program. I guess they weren't all widows and orphans, eh? Syria is one of the countries on POTUS Trump's travel ban. This is why.
seanmdav On par.
Liberals would have rather seen this man kill people to blame Trump for than to see him arrested and lives saved...so they can blame Trump. You people are seriously ill.
why?
Hhhhhhh... may be recruited by FBI under cover agent....Hoax again
redsteeze
No way! Shocking
Ummmm. Isis has been destroyed . Trump said so.
Your blood will spill like an ocean Allah willing
Good timing. 🙄
Perfect timing for refugees propaganda as 45 takes off
