In the days before the Islamic terrorist attack in New Orleans, the Biden administration freed Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi from Gitmo and released him to Tunisia.
Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi had been described by a Gitmo review as a longtime Jihadist whose activities go back to the mid 90s, as an Al Qaeda terrorist, a possible Osama bin Laden bodyguard and a member of Bin Laden’s Arab Brigade, who was also described as the “emir” of Al Qaeda’s Tunisian faction.
Al-Yazidi had specifically operated in Europe, especially in Italy where he was involved in terrorist financing. He received training in explosives and was rated as a high-risk detainee.
The report also noted that “detainee’s extensive connections to senior al-Qaida officials and other jihadist factions, along with his leadership role in Afghanistan, increase his intelligence value. He also has information on extremist operations and organizations in Bosnia and northem Italy and Afghanistan.”
The Biden administration chose to release him days before Islamic terrorists struck again in America. This is treason. And it’s a reminder that Islamic terrorists continue to attack us because our governments enable them.
