“On paper, he lived a normal life when in reality he was a sleeper agent for Hezbollah.”
No doubt everyone who knew Alexei Saab assumed that he was “moderate,” and that it would have been “racist” and “Islamophobic” even to speculate otherwise.
“Feds: NJ Man Eyed Empire State Building, Rock Center, NY Airports for Terror Attack,” by Larry Neumeister, NBC Philadelphia, April 26, 2022:
A New Jersey software developer was actually a highly trained terrorist scoping out U.S. landmarks in New York City, Washington D.C., and other major cities for possible Hezbollah attacks from 2000 to 2005, federal prosecutors say.
Opening arguments began Monday in the terror trial of 45-year-old Alexei Saab, a Morristown man who allegedly had a double identity while he worked for Hezbollah’s Islamic Jihad Organization, ready to attack Americans at popular locations if Iran was attacked by the U.S., Assistant U.S. Attorney Samuel Adelsberg said.
By day, Saab was a software engineer working for technology companies who fit in enough that he became a U.S. citizen, the prosecutor said.
By night, he was “a terrorist and spy” scoping out potential terrorism targets in New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and abroad in France, Turkey and the Czech Republic, Adelsberg said.
Targets researched by Saab included Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, all three New York-area airports, the Brooklyn, Triborough and George Washington bridges and the Lincoln and Holland tunnels connecting New Jersey to Manhattan, among other locations, federal prosecutors said….
Saab’s lawyer, Marlon Kirton, said all the evidence in the case was from Saab himself and could not be considered reliable.
And he noted that Hezbollah had never attacked Americans in the United States.
In court documents, investigators said Saab told agents he took photographs of buildings and locations including Quincy Market and the Prudential Center in Boston and the Capitol Building, Congress and the White House in Washington, D.C. A video of Fenway Park was recovered from one of Saab’s electronic devices.
“On paper, he lived a normal life when in reality he was a sleeper agent for Hezbollah,” he said.
Besides surveillance activities in the United States, Adelsberg said Saab also operated abroad after joining Hezbollah in 1996. He said Saab tried to kill a man he later understood to be a suspected Israeli spy by pointing a weapon at the individual at close range, but the firearm jammed….

I read similar accounts of those who participated in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. Many highly skilled people participated in that effort. It wasn’t just the driver of the truck. Our welcoming these people into the country meant nothing to them. For them, it’s Islam uber alles.

Who knew? [ joke – it seems I have to point that out. ]
And as long as low output intellects persist In describing Islam as some kind of spiritual religion, their animal savageries are supposed to pass as Constitutionally protected religious exercises?
And if cannibalism were a religious component, would they be Constitutionally entitled to eat their fill?
Islam is a geopolitical ambition contained within a hostile civilization.
This civilization is completely distinct from ours [ and everyone elses, by intention ], and distinctly complete in terms of acceptable social organization.
They aren’t us. They aren’t like us. And they don’t like us, want us to die and leave the earth to them. And they are eager, fervently eager, to actively bring this to pass through mass murder, Which their civilization celebrates as their pinnacle accomplishment. You can’t ask the Constanople Christians how they faired, because the Musselman murdered them all.
But you can visit Watertown Mass and ask the descendents of fleeing Armenians. Trust me, they can fill in alot of blanks.
Decide for yourself if you want to live with them. If you do, please leave. No informed intellect would consider Islamic presence in the American hemisphere acceptable.
I bear fourteen centuries of evidence.

Most real, serious jihadists disguise their identities and try to appear innocuous and ‘benign’ as they plot to murderously slaughter the dirty KUFAAR … the enemies identified by Allah in the Koran.
Islam has six or seven DIFFERENT ways that Muslims may practice deception with the blessing of Sharia law.
•Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
•Kitman: deceit by omission.
•Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.
•Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).
•Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).
•Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia to make Muslim migrants appear “moderate.”
•Hiyal (meaning contortion, contrivance, device, subterfuge) is legalistic trickery. It allows the breaking of oaths, promises, contracts and even breaking of Sharia law
Taqiyya is illustrated in the method of ‘hijra’ (Muslim immigration): the first Muslims to enter a territory lay down the red herring of ‘peaceful Islam’. They constitute a Trojan horse. The Kafir (pl Kuffar) community gets the false sense of security that the early immigrants are not a threat, but this is only until the Muslim community has gained strength of numbers…at which point, Muslims aggressively begin to demand Sharia law against the will of the kafir victims of Islamic supremacism.
Jihad is all forms warfare against disbelievers. Deception (taqiyya) is the hugest part of jihad.

It has been known for some time that hezbollah agents have learned Spanish in South America and come across the border into the U.S., pretending to be citizens of Mexico, or one of the smaller Spanish countries.
They leave their preying rugs and books of filth in the desert when they get close to the border so that the materials that would identify them are not discovered on their persons when caught…if they are caught. These also engage in drug-smuggling for the funds it gives them to further terror actions.
Remember the mozlums who worked on the computers for the idiot rep. loudmouth from Florida (the woman with multiple names…debbie wasserman)…and who fled when it was discovered they were engaging in fraud involving autos, and sending materials back to pakistan? Anywhere there is a mozlum, there is a threat. They don’t invade other countries for the purpose of being good citizens…they invade to take over and use the freedoms given to *freely* spy, steal, plan, and murder.
And this “lawyer” for the terrorist…the evidence can’t be trusted because it all came from the defendant…well most evidence does come from defendants…DNA, fingerprints, guns registered to the perp, etc.
Hope the guy gets what he deserves. Probably will end up in CO with other mozlum terrorists.
