Conversation with undercover FBI agent:

“If the ameer command a target here we will follow...Now brother if you have any contacts with any commanders let them know we are in the process of organizing. [ . . . ] Its a little slower here cause of security and spies but we are on it. Oaths have been given. When the time is right we will strike. If the dawlah has any high let us know so we can link in with them inshaAllah. [sic]”“United States of America v. Hasan Edmonds and Jonas M.
