Senator McConnell Comments on Guilty Plea by Iraqi Terrorist in Bowling Green
Statement
Issues: Defense
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Friday after Iraqi citizen, Waad Ramadan Alwan, pleaded guilty to federal terrorism charges in Kentucky:
"Today's plea of guilt by Alwan, who boasted of killing US troops in a warzone overseas, and bragged that his "lunch and dinner would be an American', confirms that he was a combatant who was associated with enemy forces overseas. The military should have had custody of him to begin with for purposes of intelligence, detention and punishment."
