A Nigerian terror suspect accused of trying to help al-Qaida in Yemen was flown to New York to appear Friday in a federal courtroom.
Lawal Babafemi is accused of training with members of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and using his English skills to help publish the terrorist magazine "Inspire."
Judge John Gleason ordered Babafemi, also known as "Ayatollah Mustafa," held without bail. No plea was entered.
Prosecutors said Babafemi is married with children in Nigeria and helped al-Qaida attempt to recruit people who speak English to engage in acts of terror against Americans.
The FBI said Anwar al-Awlaki, the American cleric who became the al-Qaida commander in the Arabian Peninsula and was killed in a U.S. drone strike, personally directed $9,000 be paid to Babafemi to assist in his recruitment efforts.
Sitting silently at a defense table, Babafemi wore a blue and white striped polo shirt as he listened to the hearing without the help of a translator.
His attorney did not object to his being held without bail, but told the judge Babafemi suffers from high blood pressure and asked that he receive medication when he gets to the Metropolitan Detention Center.
His wife in Owensboro, Ky., Diana Hunter, told NBC News that she and her son -- who is Hunter's stepson -- were unaware of his arrest. She said her husband was mysterious about his international activities.
"We don't know anything about what he does," she said.
Hunter's stepson said they last heard from him a few days ago.

Your crippled eunuch pops is a re.tard - you bastard son and a product of artificial insemination. How many times am I gonna tell you visa scrounging plonkers to stop quoting me? You and wretched old hag babyosisi need to keep me out of ya mentions. Stop talking to me.

And I don't need ya fvcking advice. You fvckers think they just arrest folks posting their opinions on cyberspace and lock them up for no reason, no? When you need information about how GCHQ works, and what's within people's rights to say, what not to say, and how information is collated - get on ya knees with ya stark illiterate ar.ses and ask me.

Sod off, phaggot and keep me out of your mentions. And what type of id.iot calls himself "Pvtparts" anyway?

COMING from a conspiracy theorists brain drain.

Shekau is also Jewish and you can add the entire Zeta gang in Mexico.

A fool is an irredeemable dunce because he assumes he/she knows sh1t.

How can Al Baghdadi be Jewish, Mr. CIA?

SirShymex:

Who's the "chicken" here, git? And what do you know about GCHQ and how information is collated on the web for intelligence?

You don't even know if I ever worked for a company affiliated with it, or not - some of you open your putrid mouths on the internet to spew junk. Just because you're a scared plonker, that doesn't mean you should disturb everyone else with ya stupidity. If you're scared - go to the Church and pray, and stop disturbing sane and upstanding folks with ya miserable life.

Anyway, you and your ilk including the miserable stalkerish Calabar village biitch trying to claim what she isn't need to stay away from my posts. I don't care about ya pathetic lives - go sort yourselves out.

Billyonaire: Shymmex, this is no time for conspiracy theories. You are in the Uk, so be careful with the truth you type while sitting in your apartment in the UK, using a UK ISP to connect to the worldwideweb. You are being watched, not even the best of vpn and tunnellers can save you from your truth. There as certain reasons that some of us chose to live in our fatherland.

A word is enough...for...

I didn't watch the video but what struck me about the picture posted online was the calmness on the face of the foley, almost like serenity which I interpreted as accepting his fate.
I also wondered why there was only the executioner in the picture. No spectator.

There was something odd about the whole thing. Arrrrrrrrggggghhhhhh. Just watch how they were so calm defending themselves to passersby after the act. Even granting interview. How do I stand by and watch someone been killed and I won't run? Something was just off. I mean the Oyinbo military were using Internet 20 years before it became viral. What are they using now? I don't like to dwell on this things but nothing is ever as it seems. What made me start thinking this way was last week I went to see a friend of mine who heard from a classified source how that Patrick sawyer went hysterical in the hospital. It was almost like a remote control according to what I was told. He even tried to escape and it was that woman that gave her all just so he won't run. A lot of people vehemently believes sawyer was on a mission. The problems sawyer was supposed to cause in Nigeria is not yielding result as they expected. Don't want to dwell on this things to much but nothing, I mean nothing is ever as it seems. The Arab world who are the tools and the Western world who are the users. They are pretty much d same o
Just pray for ur selves and family that none of us shall be used as a tool to destabilise the world. No insults please.
