How do you rent a house in San Diego on a teacher assistant's salary?
A male teacher's assistant in an elementary school.....
and he is not a citizen. Did he get a background check before he started work?
Why didn't he show up at the Mosque he was to teach at as a condition
of his immigration?
Reminds me of the 9/11 hijackers who were on "student" visas but never
showed up for class!
Sounds like a very suspicious guy... article below:

A San Diego federal grand jury added new charges yesterday to an
indictment accusing a Somalian community leader of collecting money
from a group linked to terrorist fund raising.
Omar Abdi Mohammed, president of the Western Somali Relief Agency, was
arrested in January on charges of collecting more than $351,000 from
the Global Relief Foundation, a charity in Bridgeview, Ill., that the
Treasury Department has accused of funding terrorism.
The new, seven-count indictment accuses him of taking $5,000 from the
Al-Haramain Foundation, another organization the U.S. government has
linked to terrorists.
Mohammed, a former teacher's assistant at a San Diego elementary
school, also is accused of making false statements during a
naturalization interview.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Parmley said the new charges are the
result of follow-up interviews with witnesses after Mohammed's arrest.
According to Parmley, Mohammed received $1,700 a month from the Saudi
Arabian government, totaling $100,000 over several years.
During his naturalization interview in May 2002, he was required to
mention all of his employers, but he failed to mention his monthly
income from Saudi Arabia, the indictment states.
Mohammed has said he was receiving money from the Saudi government,
but the funds were to finance legitimate religious activities.
The indictment also accused Mohammed of lying about working at the
Masjidul Taqwa mosque after entering the United States in 1995 on a
visa meant for religious workers. |
