Georgia: Woman arrested for building ‘KILL LISTS’ of servicemembers for Muslim terror group #ISIS

15

Federal prosecutors in New York announced charges Tuesday against a woman accused of recruiting cyber supporters to an online group that published “kill lists” on behalf of the Islamic State. Kim Anh Vo conspired to provide material support to the designated foreign terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, commonly referred to as ISIS.

According to a criminal complaint, Vo joined an online group called the United Cyber Caliphate that pledged allegiance to Islamic State Group and spread propaganda on its behalf and committed to carrying out online attacks and cyber intrusions against Americans.

The criminal complaint says Vo recruited members to the group to assist in hacking efforts and published “”kill lists,” which list the names of individuals – for example, soldiers in the United States Armed Forces and members of the State Department – and instruct their followers to kill the listed individuals.”

Additionally, according to the complaint, on or about April 21, 2016, the United Cyber Caliphate group posted online the names, addresses and other identifying information of about 3,602 people in the New York City area, including residents. The list was posted along with the message: ““List of most important citizens of #New York and #Brooklyn and some other cities MORE THAN #3000 NAME We Want them #Dead.”

Prosecutors also accuse Vo of recruiting others to join the group’s hacking efforts between April 2016 and May 2017, including a minor in Norway who was allegedly recruited to create online content in support of ISIS, including a video threatening a non-profit organization based in New York, New York, which was formed to find and combat the online promotion of extremist ideologies.

Georgia woman accused of helping build ‘kill lists’ of servicemembers for ISIS-linked group

By Jeremy Redmon | The Atlanta Journal-Constitution | Published: March 12, 2019

ATLANTA Ga. (Tribune News Service) — Authorities arrested a 20-year-old woman south of Augusta on Tuesday for allegedly supporting an Islamic State-linked group that has called for killing thousands of people in the New York City area, including U.S. troops.

Three years ago, Kim Anh Vo — who also goes by “Zozo,” “Miss.Bones” and “Kitty Lee” — allegedly joined the United Cyber Caliphate, an online group that has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, the U.S. Justice Department announced in a news release. The organization, according to the federal agency, is “committed to carrying out online attacks and cyber intrusions against Americans.”

Since Vo joined the group, Justice Department officials said, it and its subgroups have disseminated online “kill lists,” identifying U.S. servicemembers and U.S. State Department workers. One such list from April 2016 identified about 3,600 people in the New York City area, declaring “We Want them #Dead.”

Two years ago, the group posted another kill list with the names of more than 8,000 people and links to a video that said: “We have a message to the people of the U.S., and, most important, your President Trump: Know that we continue to wage war against you.” The video contained what appeared to be a graphic depiction of a man being decapitated.

Vo has also sought to recruit others to join the group and assist it with its hacking efforts, according to the Justice Department. Among them is a minor living in Norway. Vo allegedly recruited that person to create an online video threatening a New York City-based nonprofit group that fights the promotion of extremist ideologies.

Vo, who was arrested in Hephzibah, Ga., has been charged with one count of conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison. On Tuesday, she appeared before a federal court in Augusta, and her case was transferred to a different federal court in New York.

Her defense attorney, Ken Crowder, declined to comment other than to confirm Vo consented to be transported to New York for “all matters related to her case.”

The New York City Police Department, which is also involved in the case, referred questions to the Justice Department, which declined to comment.

Vo is not the first Georgian to draw the attention of counterterrorism officials this year. In January, federal authorities arrested Hasher Taheb, 21, of Cumming for allegedly plotting to attack the White House. Authorities said Taheb was acting alone and they made no accusation that he had ties to any terrorist group, though he allegedly said he planned to travel to “hijra,” a term said to refer to Islamic State territory.

More evidence of it is now happening here, as the Islamic believers pursue recruits to destroy this country from within. With those being the facts, I ask why we are putting up with elected officials who toe the same line, a line intended to end everything that is American about this country. Are we going to allow these lunatic believers to repeat what was done to civilization by the likes of Hitler and Stalin, or are we going to move ourselves into dealing with the reality that faces this nation from these inane believers of Islam. It is time our legal system took control and began prosecuting any of these believers who act or speak out in such a manner as to be reasonably determined that they intend violence/destruction and domination. The concept of “Never Again” which is associated with the Jewish people should apply here as well. Europe is lost because they did nothing, we must do something.

So the list is obviously out therein the hands of Jihadists. What does the government do now – refuse to tell people they are on the list?
Seems Obama’s Trojan horse is just what the fools said it wasn’t.

Trojan horse. Good analogy! That’s exactly what Obama did when he brought 99% Muslims and only 1% Christians in from the Middle East and Africa when it was Christians that were being murdered over there by Muslim terrorists. Why bring in an ideology like that knowing they won’t really assimilate with Western culture. The blood will be on his hands the next time one or more of these fanatical devout Muslims decide to get on the fast track to Paradise and commit jihad in Allah’s name. Just a matter of time now.

I suspect this young woman is merely a cutout or front for well organized and hidden Muslim terrorists who have been drawing up lists of people to liquidate and targets to attack. It is just a matter of time before we suffer a a chemical,biological, or nuclear attack that will dwarf 9/11. We have 5 million potential Muslim terrorists in our midst plus any number of people like this person of Vietnamese extraction that are being systematically recruited and trained. Facing such danger any sensible government wouldintern and deport the entire group,but that will not happen until a catastrophic event takes place,and even then our government will be too weak to protect us.
