Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani, a mechanic for American Airlines, glued foam into a tube leading from outside an American Airlines plane to its air data module. As a result, if the plane had taken off that day from MIA, the pilots would have had to operate the aircraft manually because the ADM system would not have received any computer data.

None of the passengers and crew on the flight from Miami to Nassau were injured because his tampering with the air data module caused an error alert as the pilots powered up the plane’s engines on the runway July 17, according to a complaint affidavit.

At his detention hearing in September after his arrest, federal prosecutors suggested that Alani may have possible links to a Middle East terrorist group, but that allegation never came up at his plea hearing before U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke.

Alani lied to investigators about taking a trip in March to visit his brother in Iraq. His brother is a member of ISIS.

The FBI found "disturbing" ISIS videos on his phone, one of which he sent to someone along with a message in Arabic asking Allah to take revenge against non-Muslims.

Alani insisted that he never wanted to hurt anyone.

Alani told federal investigators that he disabled the aircraft’s navigation system on the morning of July 17 because he was upset over stalled union contract negotiations with the airline. He said he wanted to generate some overtime for maintenance on the plane.

He told the judge that he earns $7,000 to $8,000 a month from his job as a mechanic for American Airlines.

Alani now faces up to three years in prison under a joint recommendation by the U.S. attorney’s office and his defense lawyer.

Alani was not charged with a terrorism-related offense.

I wonder if there is more going.....like secret plea deals. Maybe he dimed out some associates and/or other terrorist scumbags, so we reduced his prison time. Or perhaps he revealed details on other terror plots.

This is a plausible explaination.

I don't think terrorist can plea for a deal, this tells me they didn't even consider terrorism during the investigation even upon arrest, this also tells me the Feds didn't want the public to lose faith in air travel.. imagine the flying public questioning the air carriers about their vetting process for new hires given that airline mechanics has to have a federal background check for employment, the Feds would have to admit one fell through the cracks. In their minds it's better file this under disgruntled employee than to admit to an mistake under the vetting process.

That's also plausible.
 
They most certainly make deals with terrorists to find the big bad guys. Plausible explanation here.
Or this was just the worst case of mechanic fraud ever.

You are right

Plea bargain rates increased 32.7 % while acquittal rates decreased by 6.8 % in the post-9/11 era—resulting in an overall increase in conviction rates after 9/11.

Both the US and UK governments have been exposed in the past of getting into bed with terrorists or at least appeasing them. We ended up with IRA terrorists as government ministers at the same time the US government openly harboured wanted and convicted IRA killers in the US.

I don't know why my country does this.

A guy named Cambronne ran a government organization called the Tonton Macoute in Haiti. They were like Hitler's S.S., and made many, many thousands of people disappear. They committed acts of mass rape, torture, murder, and so on.

Yet Cambronne got to live in Miami like nothing happened.
 
Karma man. Everybody gets what they sow. Sooner, later, but all good and bad comes back to the owner. Watched it often enough. Helped enough people who then said, "I finally got something back!!" Got enough help from someone who said, "I got help once, now I got a chance to help!". Simple truth, just believe and watch. Don't ask why, just say thank you at the right time...GP

Europe has opened its borders to millions of openly hostile ( to western culture) igrants from the middle east and north Africa, these people are eroding traditional cultural and religious values across Europe and the most terrifying aspect of it is they are being helped by the EU. For the EU to become the United States of Europe they have to achieve a few objectives. This includes such things as destroying the concept and practice of National Sovereignty and identity ( French, German, Dutch, Italian etc) and its associated strong judaeo / christian religious faith system. Christianity and Christian culture is open to any and all criticism whilst Islam is inchallengable. Traditional FAMILIES are being attacked by a well organised lobby pressure group.

The EU is already creating its own border force and wants its own army, This will allow the EU to legally deploy none local troops to areas of political unrest who will have no issues with opening fire on civilians to whom they have no kindred links.

Just imagine the trouble the Eurototalitarians can cause with modern military formations, nuclear forces, nuclear powered war ships and an army made up from the peoples of Europe numbering nearly 650 million strong. Europe scares me more than the Soviets did and more than Islam does.
