Abdeladim El-Kebir was indicated in New York for plotting bombings in Germany. While there is no real explanation as to why he is in NY now, he remains there. Kebir is twenty-nine years old and is a member of Al Qaeda. In April he was arrested with two other men because of plotting such acts of terrorism. He had actually lived in Germany on a student visa for quite some time but then left and went back to Germany illegally. I never would have known about this if I didn't read the World section of the NY Times. This is scary to read especially because the article doesn't even share why he was trying to do this, except for the fact that he is a member of Al Qaeda. Honestly, I feel very sheltered when it comes to mentioning Al Qaeda, whether it be on the news or just hearing people talking about it. This type of news is very uncomfortable to read, but it is still extremely important to know about.
