NYC Terror Suspect Came to U.S. as Foreign Relative of ‘Visa Lottery’ Immigrant

The Bangladesh-born terror suspect who allegedly attempted to detonate a suicide-bomb in New York was able to enter the United States as a foreign relative of an immigrant, extended-family member who had won a visa to the U.S. under the Diversity Visa Lottery.

On Monday 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, a Bangladesh national, injured three individuals when he allegedly tried to detonate a suicide bomb in New York City in a planned terrorist attack.

In a statement by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Ullah was able to enter the U.S. in 2011 as a foreign relative after one of his family members was awarded a Green Card in the Visa Lottery.

Every year, the Visa Lottery — championed by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) — gives out 50,000 visas to foreign nationals from a multitude of countries, including those with known terrorist problems..

WBOC is too busy reporting about rich women’s refrigerators to worry about such trivial details

The question here is, are you all starting to see the big picture yet???? Can you see you are bring lied to???? That some of these attacks are staged and fake and some are real, so you don't know what is real from fake... Just like how they had those training and drills going on, where they were rounding up people who where yelling I have rights and this or that... To confuse you to not know what is real or fake or a drill when or if a real incident happens...

You all can chalk it up to whatever you like, and you can believe or not, that is all fine, but you will see one day what all this was about... Mark my words... I haven't been wrong yet... I wish I had been wrong...

4:44- "I havent been wrong yet..." Your whole first paragraph is not factual and wrong. You are very wrong and have likely been wrong on a great many things. You're stating this was staged by someone other than the idiot who made a malfunctioned suicide bomb? What are the other "staged" attacks? This is for real! You think this guy was an operative for Homeland, CIA,or the FBI? Really? I think you need some sun, Gramps!
