Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Member of Somali jihad group got pilot training, planned to fly commercial jet into Atlanta’s tallest building

By

Atlanta. and the world, were lucky when this man was arrested. Cholo Abdi Abdullah was playing the long game. He received flight training, and knew that he would have no trouble getting into the U.S. and even getting hired as a pilot. Anyone who might have been skeptical about him would have been dismissed as “Islamophobic.”

“Kenyan man wanted to commit ‘9/11-style’ attack on Atlanta’s tallest building,” WSBTV.com, December 22, 2025:

ATLANTA — A Kenyan man has been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison for conspiring to attack Atlanta’s Bank of America building.

Cholo Abdi Abdullah, 34, was sentenced on Monday to two consecutive life sentences after being convicted of several crimes in Nov. 2024.

Federal prosecutors say Abdullah is a member of al-Shabaab, a Somalian terrorist organization affiliated with Al Qaeda.

They say Abdullah joined the organization in 2015 and spent the next year receiving military training.

That’s when he was recruited for a “greater plan,” which involved him training to become an airline pilot so he could hijack a commercial plane and crash it into a U.S. building.

From 2017 to 2019, Abdullah trained at a flight school in the Philippines. When he was arrested in July 2019, he was had completed all but one of the requirements to receive his commercial pilot license.

In January 2019, in the wake of another al-Shabaab attack in Kenya, Abdullah began researching “Delta flights” and “tallest building in Atlanta.”

His searches pointed him to the Bank of America Plaza, which stands 55 stories and 1,023 feet tall in downtown Atlanta.

He admitted to the FBI that he planned to hijack a plane and crash into the building, killing himself and countless others….

  1. One of the things that stands out in this scenario is that he could find out what visa’s were available for him to come to the U.S.

    The government keeps so many things secret….even things that U.S. born citizens are not allowed to know, but that wouldn’t hurt anything if we did know….and at the same time scummy thugs can *research* and find out all sorts of things to be used against those same U.S. born citizens.

    If someone wants to come here, he should be asked *why* and not told what visa’s are available. Thugs like this one….who is now here, but not on a visa…should not be told, nor should the information be on the internet.
    It should be held back and when some person in some foreign land wants to come, they would have to go to an embassy and tell a clerk *why* they wish to come and then they could be told if they will be allowed. But the kinds of visa’s don’t need to be proclaimed to the world at large.

    American citizens don’t have all of that information, so why should it be available to those who want to murder us?

    And, was Bank of America told of the threat? Or are they just now finding out about it?

  2. The photo could be that of the ex-police officer who killed Ms. Diamond, the lady wearing her pj’s.

  3. What kind of god tells you to kill yourself and kill everyone around you if you want to enter paradise? It would seem as if that god enjoys killing his own creation. Welcome to the paradise of murderers !

    • What kind of god? I answer here to your rhetorical question a horrible god. Yes, the god of Islam and why once and for all this religion needs to be described for the massive malevolency which it is. It is sick to its core and its followers are all deluded human beings, only the degree to which functioning as a variable.

  4. Muslims are a persistent, terroristic threat using deceit, discrimination, violence, and terrorism against Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.). Whether as airplane pilots, doctors, police, nannies, etc., Muslims can never be trusted for their demonic behavior.

    Allah’s Islam, a CRIMINAL-TERRORIST-GANG ENTERPRISE and a MURDEROUS-DEMONIC CULT OF BELIEVERS, Terrorist Muslim Soldiers for satanic Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, industrial-scale slavery, human trafficking, intimidation, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, criminality, genocide, victimhood, censorship, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 5:14,35; 8:60; 9:41, 88, etc.). Islam and its Muslims, enemies of Non-Muslims, are a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO).

    Allah describes Muslim women in Jenna, Allah’s Paradise, as whores of Allah in Qur’an 56:37. Also, Deceitful Allah stirs hatred against Christians until the resurrection day when Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 60:4; 8:55.

    As taught by Allah, Muslims are supremacist terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and with their LIVES while undermining a society from within using the man-made book of lies and deceit, the Qur’an. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 states, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” As evidenced by continuous Muslim attacks, Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels(Non-Muslims) were your clear enemies.”

    ALLAH’S MUSLIMS are a greater TERROR than diabolical Allah. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence. As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims. Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”

    Again, Islam is a civilization-destroying, totalitarian, and supremacist system of lies and deceit because Allah, the best deceiver, is the actual source of Muslim deceit as taught in Islam’s Qur’an. Muslims under Islam’s system of deceit are more easily controlled because their is no foundation for truth in Islam. Allah in Qur’an 3:54 says, “And they deceived, and Allah deceived. And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 8:30 says, “…And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 13:42 says, “And indeed, those before them deceived, so to Allah all the deception…”

  5. Why are we training pilots from dar ul islam at all? 9/11 has been completely forgotten, and it’s not even like Zoomers are running the country

    • Or why are we training muslims in chemical engineering or any of the Sciences that allow them to build bombs. Even the truck drivers are dangerous .

  6. The religion of peace strikes again. The U.S. must get Islam out of the U.S. I still do not understand why Trump support training Qatar pilots in Idaho. Any rouge pilot could fly a plane into a building. Put them in a plane that is deporting them.

  9. NYC just elected a jihad terrorist as mayor we have too many idiotic suicide people here we do not need to import more ! Islam is a mental illness too many of them want a one way ticket to hell ,I would not mind if they went alone instead of taking so my innocent non-believers of their crazy moon god with them .This crazy cult Islam have people wanted to murder ,rape enslave everyone around them ,western leaders still keep importing these broken toys what is the upside of Islam?

    ………………………………………………….

SIMPLE THE SOCIALISTS ARE USING ISLAM TO ACHIEVE THE TOTALITARIAN WORLD THEY WANT THEY THINK THEY WILL BE THE ONES TO RUN IT..THEY THINK THEY CAN CONTROL ISLAM..THERES A ISSUE HERE..WITH NO MEANS LEFT NO WEAPONS NO GUNS PPL MURDERED OR IN PRISON WHO IS ACTUALLY GOING TO FIGHT ISLAM FOR THEM? THATS WHATS HAPPENING IN EUROPE RIGHT NOW. someone remind them of what happened in iran when islam came in to power.

    • Welcome to Jihad Watch, VLAMP. But please don’t post in ALL CAPS–I know you mean this to indicate urgency, but it reads as your shouting at people here.

  13. these murderous thugs are here in the us because our laws concerning immigration asylum and refugees
    are all tossed out by corrupt govt the senate and congress.we had presidents that also tossed out those laws.

    rule one..where there is no american embassy no person qualifies for refugee status asylum or immigration.
    following.. no person may be granted entry into the united states without a host family.. no person is granted entry if its been determined they are dependent upon public social programs upon arrival… no person escaping legal proceedings in his home country may be granted entry. no person who is sick involved in prostitution or other illegal activities may be granted entry into the united states.
    the person seeking entry must have employment guarenteed to him upon arrival..he must have lodgings medical care and a person to help him learn the language read it and write it. he must give up all claims to
    any personal properties businesses in his country of origin. he must give up any claims of citizenship in that country. he must renounce any support of any foreign govts.or leaders..
    the individual is subject to all laws just as any natural born citizen without exclusion.
    any finding of illegal activity or law breaking makes this person subject to immediate deportation and placed on a no return list..
    if this person has been determined to need public assistance within less than 5 yrs hes not to be granted entry into the united states..

    in other words it should cost this individual time money self investment and this should not be something done on a whim ..
    everyone of these ppl on public assistance qualify for immediate deportation.
    everyone on medicare qualify for deportation.
    not one mosque should be here they are occupying us soil.

    these arent my rules these are the actual us laws on immigration asylum and refugees..theres more but i gave the main ones
