Issue #27: Ahmed Recanted, Says Mahdi’s Innocent
In 2021, Ahmed told a reporter that he lied against Mahdi in exchange for reduced prison time, and Mahdi is really innocent. “He ended up becoming the scapegoat, I guess.” (video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ub5fO7qx_is )

2024-06-09 03:25:22

- reply

Issue #26: Killer Identified Wearing Abdisalan’s Coat
Investigators identified the coat the killer was wearing on the Seward Market surveillance video to match the gray coat Abdisalan was wearing earlier that day. But he claimed under oath that he gave the gray coat to Mahdi.

2024-06-09 03:25:13

- reply

Issue #25: Use of Jailhouse Snitch
During the trial Judge Peter Cahill allowed a jailhouse snitch to testify against Mahdi.
He testified under oath that Mahdi Ali, “a complete stranger,” confessed to him about the Seward Market murders. Mahdi denied saying more than two words.

2024-06-09 03:25:04

- reply

Mahdi told UR that Galony completely made his statement up. He believes Galony never spoke to police that night & that his script was manufactured by MPD only after suspects in custody. He said police found an informant to repeat their lies in court to secure his conviction.

2024-06-09 03:24:53

- reply

Issue #24: Controversial Use of Paid Informant
Mohamud Galony, who testified against Mahdi, was described as an ESL teacher’s aide and well-respected community member. But it was revealed at trial that Galony was a Confidential Reliable Informant (CRI) for MPD.

Issue #23: Ahmed’s Brother Had Stolen Gun Connected to Murder Weapon
In September 2010, Ahmed’s brother Abdirahman Ali was caught by police with a stolen gun in his car that was from the same batch of guns as the murder weapon that were stolen shortly before the killings.

2024-06-09 03:24:32

- reply

Issue #22: Abdisalan Implicated in Another Killing
Abshir Asse implicated Abdisalan in another murder: “It was a thing… a killing in Apple Valley. I don’t know exactly when this was.” Detectives confirmed that a cab driver was killed in August 2009.

2024-06-09 03:24:23

- reply

Issue #21: Unserious Investigation
Kjos: “Your name came up right away.” Porras: “Something not right here.”
throughout all 3 interviews, detectives never asked Abdisalan if he killed those 3 people, or if he was involved. He was never charged w. any crime related to this case.

2024-06-09 03:24:13

- reply

Issue #20: Abdisalan’s Alleged Alibi
Abdisalan’s cell phone data proved that he wasn’t at home at 7:04 p.m. when he made a call to Ahmed’s brother, but rather his phone pinged on a tower north of his home, which is in the direction of the Seward Market.

2024-06-09 03:24:05

- reply

Issue #19: Did Abdisalan Receive A Secret Deal?
On January 11, he implied detectives cleared him. “We have no evidence to show you were at the scene...” Kjos said. “So… what I’m asking you is not up at the scene. I won’t ask you any of that because you went home. Right?”

2024-06-09 03:23:54

- reply

Issue #18: Abdisalan Offers Up His Cousin
“If the people are already talking about him [Ahmed] and Mahdi being involved,” Detective Porras said, “you know not everybody is [as] calm about the thing as you are.”

2024-06-09 03:23:44

- reply

Issue #17: Cop Coercion
The cops seemingly coerced Abdisalan after he began having second thoughts about answering their questions and tried to end the interview. “I need you to give me this interview,” Detective Kjos pleaded.
She told him she needed him to corroborate events.

2024-06-09 03:23:34

- reply

Issue #16: Abdisalan Talks ‘Killings and Stuff’ at School
Detectives showed Abdisalan surveillance footage of him and Abshir Asse talking at school the day after the murders, and asked him what they were talking about. He said they were talking about the “killings and stuff.”

2024-06-09 03:23:24

- reply

Issue #15: Abdisalan Threatened Mahdi
According to the police report, Abdisalan told his classmate he was going to silence Mahdi. Asse disclosed: “He… said that he was going to try to go kill Mahdi,” adding, “So to cover everything up. He thinks that Mahdi will tell on him.”

2024-06-09 03:23:14

- reply

Issue #14: Abdisalan Didn’t Like Mahdi, Had Motive to Frame Him
The defense asked if Abdisalan & Mahdi got along. Abdisalan initially lied & said they did. Then he admitted, “I mean, I probably didn’t get along with him, we probably fought a couple of times...”

2024-06-09 03:23:02

- reply

Issue #13: Abdisalan Implicated Ahmed As He Hid
Detectives found out that Ahmed was on the run from the police. When they interviewed Abdisalan they asked him why Ahmed was hiding out and the first thing he did was implicate his cousin in the killings.

2024-06-09 03:22:46

- reply

Issue #12: Evolving Accusations
Police asked Asse again if Abdisalan was the gunman, in which he inexplicably changed his story, now saying Mahdi was the shooter. His story suspiciously changed following three redacted paragraphs.

Issue #11: Second Informant Fingered Abdisalan
“[T]he type of offense is triple homicide and your notes are … ‘he is running around bragging about it and plans to leave the country’. Is that correct?” detectives asked. Farrah responded affirmatively.

Issue #10: Adbisalan’s Friend Told MPD He Confessed to Killings
Abdisalan told his classmate he shot a customer that walked through the door during the robbery and on his way out of the market. Asse explained, “He told me he shot all three of them...”

The whole population of the Gaza Strip – over two million residents – is now facing starvation from the Israeli military bombardment, blockade and siege on Gaza. As the Israeli military and far-right Zionist settlers block aid shipments bound for destroyed neighborhoods throughout Gaza, Arab countries and the United States have been doing nominal air drops of food aid.

As thousands of people walked to the entrance of the Super Bowl this year, they heard, “Stop the chop! Change the Name! Stop Cultural Appropriation!” from a group of largely Native women. Some Kansas City fans angrily confronted some of the protestors, yelling to “get a life” and “go back where you came from” and others mimicked the “tomahawk chop,” an act many say is racist and must stop.

The role of federal authorities continues to be the targeting of various social justice movements throughout the country. From the “Green Scare” to the arrests of environmental and animal rights activists to prosecutors withholding evidence against six Inauguration Day protesters in 2017 in an attempt to secure convictions, ignoring the precarious nature of these loose classifications can further harm already marginalized groups in the United States. https://unicornriot.ninja/2023/fbi-labels-anti-fascists-and-anti-racists-as-violent-extremists/

With DHS in the White House and federal authorities providing access to databases and loopholes for local and state law enforcement to target whomever they choose, it’s no wonder we’ve seen murders like that of Breonna Taylor where police were found to have used data provided by said databases and private corporations.

Despite an FBI disclaimer stating that it “may not base any investigative activity solely on the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment,” it does not discount the problematic nature of how they use and pass on the information to local and state law enforcement agencies and the public at large.

The notion that groups who respond to hate groups and fascist ideas are violent extremists is disinformation coming from one of the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the United States.

However, racists and bigots in law enforcement aren’t new. While the FBI has issued countless warnings over the last several decades, they leave out which police departments neo-Nazis and extremists work for — including those among the ranks of the FBI.
