Poor Mohamed, the Frugal Jihadi

Our dear friend Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed has pled guilty to one count of providing material support to terrorists. This in relation to the production, and distribution via YouTube, of a video explaining how to turn a remote control toy car into a detonator for Improvised Explosive Devices. In his plea he admits that he made the video with the intent of enabling jihadis to set off their bombs from a distance so that they might live to kill more infidels another day.

The Investigative Project has a copy of the plea agreement posted here...

You can also read all about it on select jihadi forums, e.g.


Mohamed gets honorable mention on a jihadi forum

The extent of Mr. Mohamed's involvement with other jihadis is not known, but we do know that the detonator video was viewed by some hundreds of people, and we are not aware of any effort by Mohamed to promote the video through "normal" jihadi channels. So one assumes he was part of some network or networks of like-minded individuals.


From page 9 of the plea agreement

Finally, this detail on page 11 of the plea agreement led someone at Little Green Footballs to dub Mohamed "the Frugal Jihadi."
