A huge weapons stockpile including assault rifles, loaded handguns, flak jackets and ammunition feeding devices has been seized at a Muslim compound by New York State police, after an operation that a police major describes as a “tremendous blessing” that may have prevented a “large scale tragedy.”
A long-time associate of a U.S.-based organization, Muslims of America (MOA), has been arrested in New York following the discovery of the weapons cache that was intended for MOA’s “Islamberg” headquarters in Hancock, NY.
Ramadan Abdullah, 64, was arrested in Johnson City, NY, and is no stranger to law enforcement. Abdullah was previously arrested along with another man in 1977 after a botched robbery of a Brooklyn candy store ended in murder.
At the time, police searched Abdullah’s home and discovered enough explosive material to build 50 bombs. Even so, the charges against Abdullah were ultimately reduced.
DML reports: However, 40 years later, he has been arrested again. On May 31, after attempting to steal four boxes of ammunition from a local Gander Mountain store, Abdullah was questioned by police about the purpose of the ammunition. His answers raised suspicion among police who obtained a search warrant for a storage locker he was renting in the town of Union.
