In a shocking revelation, a Saudi Arabian national has confessed to the theft of a school bus in New Jersey, which he drove to Pennsylvania.
The individual, identified as Bader Alzahrani, was found to be in possession of journals filled with disturbing entries, including phrases such as "F*ck you privileged whitey," "Blood, blood, destruction, destruction. Allah," and "Jews control everything."
As reported by The Post Millennial, the Department of Justice issued a press release detailing Alzahrani's actions. The 24-year-old Saudi Arabian national pleaded guilty to stealing the school bus and driving it across state lines. The press release noted, "On Jan. 17, 2023, the Livingston, New Jersey Board of Education reported that a school bus was stolen from a parking lot" situated opposite an "unoccupied residential home where [a] break-in was reported" two days prior.
Alzahrani was subsequently apprehended in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. During the investigation into the earlier break-in, law enforcement discovered a backpack containing Alzahrani's passport and journals filled with references to "Jihad." The backpack was left behind after Alzahrani allegedly broke into the house using a fire extinguisher.
The journals, written in Arabic, were translated and included in the complaint regarding the stolen bus. The translated excerpts revealed a disturbing mindset, with entries such as:
Why didnt you slaughter the police officer who threw the Quran?
This is a war, and there will be losses, and collateral losses.
It is a war and yall [sic] started, feel the rage.
Destruction of the new world and the earth will be destroyed from all sides.
God I am ready for your orders. I want to live the rest of my life to serve you and the religion.
Blood, blood, destruction, destruction. Allah
Jews control everything.
F*ck each and every Jewish person.
F*ck you privileged whitey.
The complaint further noted, "The journals also included entries concerning Jihad and how Alzahrani did not intend to return to Saudi Arabia."
Alzahrani was in the United States on a student visa. However, the complaint revealed that "In or around October 2022, Alzahrani left the university in which he was enrolled and was reported missing." Alzahrani's sentencing is set for Sept. 9, 2024.
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for possession of a stolen vehicle.
