Iraqi insurgent fighter allegedly lied about identity, got through ‘extreme’ vetting

Federal lawmakers are investigating how a former Iraqi insurgent fighter was able to lie about his identity and still get through America’s ‘extreme’ vetting process.


The suspect is an Iraqi man who had entered the U.S. under a false name. His real name was not released.


At some point, the Iraqi entered the U.S. through the refugee program. His activities in the U.S. triggered an investigation by JTTF members, who planned to charge him with visa fraud while they investigated possible further charges.

Sources say the case demonstrates the challenge of vetting people with little documented history in countries where there’s no paper trail.


U.S. officials said earlier this week that nearly a third of the FBI’S 1,000 ongoing domestic terrorism investigations involve those admitted to the U.S. as refugees.


This was why a bunch of people were having a cow over these refugees.

No paper trail... laughable...

Not surprising that there's no paper trail on many of these people... but semi-surprising (we are talking the Obama Administration) that our extreme vetting did not include any documentation.

Obama's vetting plan...'don't blow anything up until I'm out of office.'

No documentation in the "extreme" vetting process. One has to wonder what is extreme about it... the incompetence? The willful disregard for reality?

Allegedly, he claimed,..... no comment from the intelligence sources. How about a complete investigation on this single Iraqi.

I understand you have to make these posts... here's one completed investigation involving "refugees" in the past from the article.

In perhaps the most glaring example of Iraqi terrorists getting into the U.S, two Iraqi refugees living in Bowling Green, Ky., were convicted in 2013 of plotting to help Al Qaeda. The men were also hit with additional charges after their fingerprints matched ones found on IEDs used in Iraq to kill U.S. soldiers.

Quit destroying their homes and they don't have to come here.

I think they should put IRAQ back on the ban list of nations.

Yes I recall and they re-vetted all refugees after that incident, so you have 2 that slipped through the system in 3 years. We have 12,000 people murdered in the US each year and hundreds of thousands of refugees and you're worried about 2 refugees. You should be more concerned that your smoke detector has batteries.

This just goes to prove that Trump's initial instinct to ban ALL refugees from Syria was the correct one. In the mad house that is the middle east, you can't vet period. Extreme or not.
