  • Issa Doreh, Basaaly Saeed Moalin, Ahmed Nasir Taalil Mohammud, Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud. Raised money for Al-Shabaab. No attack in the US planned.

  • Mohamed Osman Mohamud - Portland Christmas tree lighting plot. FBI sting culminated in providing a button Mohamud thought was connected to a car bomb; he pushed it. Spreadsheet claims this guy was associated with Al-Qaeda but I couldn't confirm. No attack in the US, except in his head. Claimed entrapment, but a jury convicted him.

  • Siavosh Henareh - Convicted of dealing drugs, allegedly to finance Hezbollah. No attack in the US planned.

  • Mahamud Said Omar - Went to Somalia and joined Al-Shabaab. No attack in the US planned.

  • Manssour Arbabsiar - Convicted of paying someone $100,000 to assassinate a Saudi envoy by bombing the Saudi embassy in Washington, DC. The someone was a DEA agent, though. Allegations that Arbabsiar had the backing of the Iranian state; it was an international incident; sanctions were imposed on some Iranians. No attack occurred.

  • Ahmed Hussein Mahamud - Raised money for Al-Shabaab. No attack in the US planned.

  • Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, Waad Ramadan Alwan - The Bowling Green Massacre. The FBI provided machine guns, rocket propelled grenades, Stinger missiles and plastic explosives. Alwan loaded them on a truck, thinking they would be used in the Iraqi insurgency. Hammadi helped him. Loading the stuff on the truck was the “massacre”.

    Listed on spreadsheet as affiliated with Al Qaeda in Iraq but I think they only thought they were.

    Alwan was a former Iraqi insurgent and bombmaker and shouldn’t have been in the U.S.

    Although both Alwan and Hammadi had been arrested by Iraq security forces, in 2006 they were allowed to enter the United States as refugees in April and July 2009, respectively. Asked why officials and Homeland Security had not properly vetted or reviewed the men's records, a Homeland Security official said, "This case demonstrates specific gaps that were present in the screening process that was in place in the beginning of the administration. Once the administration became aware of these gaps, it took immediate steps to fill them. Today our vetting process considers a far broader range of information than it did in past years."

    Officials at Homeland Security say that they now continue to review applicants' names and fingerprint data, and cross reference it with available intelligence information and watchlists to see if there is derogatory information that may bar individuals from entering the United States or denying them a U.S. visa.
