Yeah, ribit's suspicions were well-founded from the get-go. Since the article stated this Philadelphia teenager had " been in contact with Katibat al Tawhid wal Jihad, an organization designated as a global terrorist group by the State Department in 2022" ... AND they were hesitant to publicly reveal ANYTHING about him ... this would-be terrorist's membership in the "peace-loving" death cult, otherwise known as Islam, was pretty much a foregone conclusion.
