Alleged Daesh supporter tried to bomb Super Bowl
An alleged supporter of the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group in the US has been charged with a plot to blow up last season's Super Bowl, the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL).
Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem from Arizona has been described as “off-the-charts dangerous” and is also accused of training two men who were killed during an attack in Texas earlier year.
The indictment alleges that Kareem, 43, also known as Decarus Thomas, plotted to set off pipe bombs at the University of Phoenix Stadium to kill scores of people at February's Super Bowl XLIX in Phoenix, Arizona.
At least 70,000 people were in the stadium for the NFL's championship game.
ISIL terrorists, who were initially trained by the CIA in Jordan in 2012 to destabilize the Syrian government, now control parts of Syria and Iraq. They have been engaged in crimes against humanity in the areas under their control.
The United States and its allies have been conducting airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq and Syria since last year.
Observers say while the US and its allies claim they are fighting against terrorist groups like ISIL, they in fact helped create and train those organizations to affect their policies in the Middle East.
According to US geopolitical commentator Dean Henderson, the United States and its allies have encouraged the spread of the ISIL terrorist group in the Middle East to create a “perpetual war” in the region and advance the American military-industrial complex.
“This is what ISIS is all about, this is the reason that ISIS exists, because we’re going to be able to make a lot more arms sales to a lot more actors in the Middle East,” said Dean Henderson, an author and columnist at Veterans Today, using another acronym for the terror network.
