An ISIS defector revealed to a research group in Syria, called International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE), that he’d been part of a plot to attack the US financial system and that ISIS was going to sneak into the US through the southern border:
DAILY MAIL – Going by the pseudonym ‘Abu Henricki al Canadi’, the Canadian fighter with dual Trinidadian citizenship spoke to the researchers while in custody of a militia in Rojava, Syria.
At the end of the lengthy interview, as the researchers were about to leave, Abu Henricki opened up about a sickening ISIS plot he said he was recruited for in 2016, after traveling to Syria to join the group.
Abu Henricki said that he and other Trinidadian citizens were recruited to infiltrate the U.S. through the southern border with Mexico.
He said that the mastermind of the plot was an individual in New Jersey, but that he wasn’t certain of the targets, and refused to participate in the plan.
‘What they wanted to do, basically is they wanted to do financial attacks. Financial attacks to cripple the [U.S.] economy,’ Abu Henricki explained.
‘Apparently, they have the contacts or whatever papers they can get to a false ID, false passports,’ he said. ‘They have their system of doing it. So that’s maybe the way that I could have gone out with other individuals. It wasn’t me alone.’
‘That information, the plan came from someone from the New Jersey state from America. I was going to take a boat into Mexico. He was going to smuggle me in,’ Abu Henricki said.
‘I don’t know where I’d end up. Please be advised, I was not willing to do it. But this is one of their wicked, one of the plans that they had, and which I would like to think I foiled the plan by not being part of it,’ he said.
Abu Henricki said that when he refused to participate in the plot, he was imprisoned and tortured by ISIS.
Earlier in the interview, he had told of how ISIS had imprisoned him and his Canadian wife in late 2016 and early 2017, but had been vague about the reason.
This is not surprising at all and I doubt it’s the only ISIS plot that involved sneaking in through the southern border.
The ISIS defector also revealed to researchers that he knew of Americans fighting with ISIS in Syria, pointing out three by their alias.
