LIFE IN OBAMA’S AMERICA: Probe targeted threats to behead police officers.
The FBI and Boston police shot and killed a knife-wielding Roslindale man known for extremist views and arrested another person at an Everett home yesterday as part of an anti-terrorism task force investigation into threats to behead law enforcement officials, the Herald has learned.
The two-state probe by the Joint Terrorism Task Force included a raid of an Everett triple-decker and an investigation in a Warwick, R.I., neighborhood, all within hours after police say 26-year-old Usaamah Rahim came at cops and an FBI agent with a military-style knife and was shot twice in a Roslindale CVS parking lot around 7 a.m.
More: “The Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center said its security firm hired Rahim as a security guard for a month in mid-2013. Executive director Yusufi Vali said Rahim didn’t regularly pray at the center and didn’t volunteer there or serve in any leadership positions.”
