Why Did Obama’s FBI Just Release Chicago Bomb Plotter and Narco-Terrorist Emad Karakrah?

-By Warner Todd Huston

Several years ago the FBI had arrested Emad Karakrah and charged him with a series of crimes. Karakrah was involved in several plots and crimes including narco-terrorism and a 2009 plot to bomb Oprah Winfrey’s Chicago TV studios. But for some inexplicable reason, the FBI just released this dangerous man out of prison.

This guy has a long history of terrorist activities. Karakrah was involved in a far-reaching narco-terrorism plot according to extensive reporting by Judicial Watch and when he had a ISIS flag waving from his car–the same car he threatened to use as a bob carrier.

But now, for some inexplicable reason the FBI announced that on January 7, Karakrah reached a plea deal and was released from jail.

“Karakrah,” Judicial Watch reported this week, “was reportedly recruited as an FBI confidential informant (CI) in 2009 after his plot to bomb Winfrey’s Harpo Studios and the Sears Tower (renamed Willis Tower) with a truck bomb was foiled. It wasn’t long before he broke contact with his FBI handlers, according to Judicial Watch’s sources, and for years he successfully evaded them.”

Yet, now they’ve allowed him to go free again despite the fact that he’s been able to evade them for years?

Worse, Judicial Watch also discovered that Karakrah “spent time this past summer as a truck driver for militant Islamists, delivering supplies and materiel to terror cells operating in Brooklyn, New York and Saddle Brook, New Jersey.”

This is the guy the FBI has allowed to get in the wind?
