Feds Charge Six Bosnians, Including Two Residing In Illinois, In Alleged Terror Plot February 6, 2015 8:40 PM ST. LOUIS (AP/CBS) – Two Bosnian immigrants who have resided in Illinois are among six in the U.S. who have been charged with sending money, weapons and other supplies to terrorists oversees, including fighters with the Islamic State group and al-Qaida in Iraq, the U.S. attorney’s office announced Friday. An indictment unsealed Friday in St. Louis said the defendants bought firearms, U.S. military uniforms, tactical gear and other equipment and shipped them to people in Turkey and Saudi Arabia who forwarded the supplies to terrorists. It also says the defendants collected money from supporters in the U.S. and sent that as well. The suspects are identified as Mediha Medy Salkicevic, 34, of Schiller Park, a Chicago suburb; and Jasminka Ramic, 42, of Rockford; Ramiz Zijad Hodzic, 40, his wife Sedina Unkic Hodzic, 35, and Armin Harcevic, 37, who live in St. Louis County, Missouri; and Nihad Rosic, 26, of Utica, New York. The supplies and money eventually made their way to fighters in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere, according to the indictment. Money also was sent to support family members of people fighting in Iraq and elsewhere, the indictment says. The indictment alleges the conspiracy began no later than May 2013 and that the defendants used social media websites including Facebook to communicate in code. All six people who are charged are natives of Bosnia who were living in the U.S. legally. Three are naturalized citizens; the other three either had refugee or legal resident status, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.

I have never gotten over the USA siding with the Muslims in Yugoslavia. The USA is reaping the stupidity it planted. Islamic terrorism is America's fault by commission or omission.
The Serbs were right! F U NATO. How do you like your Muslims now?
More imported cultural diversity.
Anybody with an ounce of sense knew that from moment one.
So our political leaders were either incredibly stupid, or incredibly evil! I would suggest both.
Si vis pacem, para bellum

White House spokesman Eric Schultz defended the comments on Friday, saying the president believes in American exceptionalism but also believes "we need to be honest with ourselves" when America falls short on holding to its values.
