osmakac-martyrdomOsmakac was the target of an elaborately orchestrated FBI sting that involved a paid informant, FBI agents and support staff working on the setup for more than 3 months. The FBI provided all of the weapons seen in Osmakac’s faked martyrdom video, The Intercept reveals, posting online a classified video that was never to be seen by the public.

“This video is to all the Muslim youth and to all the Muslims worldwide,” Osmakac says, looking straight into the lens. “This is a call to the truth. It is the call to help and aid in the party of Allah … and pay him back for every sister that has been raped and every brother that has been tortured and raped.”

”The agents talk about the prosecutors’ eagerness for a “Hollywood ending” for their sting.”

Osmakac was 25 years old on January 7, 2012, when he filmed what the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice would later call a “martyrdom video.” He was also broke and struggling with mental illness.

After recording this video in a rundown Days Inn in Tampa, Florida, Osmakac prepared to deliver what he thought was a car bomb to a popular Irish bar. According to the government, Osmakac was a dangerous, lone-wolf terrorist who would have bombed the Tampa bar, then headed to a local casino where he would have taken hostages, before finally detonating his suicide vest once police arrived.
