In 2001, the duo Ismail Royer and Shaykh Hamza went to Muridke, Pakistan for training, as part of the attacks on security forces and civilians. The two, along with others, are part of the FBI’s bankrupt Virginia Jihad Network after the 9/11 attacks, according to the Justice Department indictment.
Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let) was banned in India and the United States and participated in the 26/11 Mumbai attack, in which more than 170 people were killed, including six Americans. The group recently claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack through its proxy resistance force (TRF), which was later denied. The killing of up to 25 Indian and one Nepali citizen triggered a dynamic response from the Indian armed forces.
“Royer admitted to assisting and shortening co-defendants Masoud Khan, Yong Kikwon, Muhammed Aatique and Khwaja Mahmoud Hasan Hasan entered the terrorist camp in Pakistan, which operated terrorists in Lashkar-ee-taiba, where they trained imbr aa aby abr a grom grom grom dimbr. (Shaykh Hamza) entered the Lashkar-e-Taiba camp and Al-Hamdi was trained to use rocket grenades to facilitate conspiracy to conduct military operations against India,” the U.S. Department of Justice prosecuted in 2004.
During the 2004 U.S. indictment, Royer admitted that he committed a crime to help other jihadists enter the Lashkar-e-taiba training camp, after an insignificant conspirator said that the terrorist attacks would be used on September 11, 2001 as an excuse for a global war with Islam, if possible, and would trigger an Islamic war.
The U.S. indictment sentences Royer to 20 years in prison and al-hamdi to 15 years, meaning the two should be issued in 2024 and 2019 respectively. However, the two pleaded guilty and were released early, resulting in their appointment with the U.S. Liberty Commission.
