Kenyan man wanted to commit ‘9/11-style’ attack on Atlanta’s tallest building
Cholo Abdi Abdullah, 34, was sentenced on Monday to two consecutive life sentences.
A Kenyan man has been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison for conspiring to attack Atlanta’s Bank of America building.
Cholo Abdi Abdullah, 34, was sentenced on Monday to two consecutive life sentences after being convicted of several crimes in Nov. 2024.
Federal prosecutors say Abdullah is a member of al-Shabaab, a Somalian terrorist organization affiliated with Al Qaeda.
That’s when he was recruited for a “greater plan,” which involved him training to become an airline pilot so he could hijack a commercial plane and crash it into a U.S. building.
From 2017 to 2019, Abdullah trained at a flight school in the Philippines. When he was arrested in July 2019, he was had completed all but one of the requirements to receive his commercial pilot license.
In January 2019, in the wake of another al-Shabaab attack in Kenya, Abdullah began researching “Delta flights” and “tallest building in Atlanta.”
His searches pointed him to the Bank of America Plaza, which stands 55 stories and 1,023 feet tall in downtown Atlanta.
He admitted to the FBI that he planned to hijack a plane and crash into the building, killing himself and countless others.
for the rest of your life
How convenient.
My bad.
