Minnesota Terror Suspects Lands Class A Trucking License
A Minnesota terror suspect that is on the official “No Fly” list may not be able to fly in the United States but that hasn’t stopped him from getting his Class A trucking license.
Back in 2007, the FBI arrested Amir Meshal on suspicion of leaving a terror training camp in Somalia. But this month, Meshal was granted a license to drive semi-trucks after he passed his road test. He also applied for a school bus endorsement.
Meshal was asked to leave two different U.S. mosques due to suspected radicalization of other members.
In May 2014, Meshal was removed and trespassed from a Bloomington, Minn. mosque, Al Farooq, after he was suspected of radicalizing young people who would later travel to Syria. According to the police report, religious leaders said, “We have concerns about Meshal interacting with our youth.” Meshal had previously been asked to leave an Eden Prairie, Minn. mosque for similar reasons.
The ACLU recently sued TSA and Homeland Security to have Meshal removed from the “No Fly” list. But Homeland Security responded in a letter obtained by the FOX 9 Investigators that Meshal, “..may be a threat to civil aviation or national security,” adding that, “It has been determined that you (Amir Meshal) are an individual who represents a threat of engaging in or conducting a violent act of terrorism and who is operationally capable of doing so.”

Could he be planning? Just as the 9-11 terrorist were able to obtain pilot license. Should we be worried? We want to know what you think, visit us at Facebook to join the conversation!
