The FBI has arrested a Pennsylvania man outside of Pittsburgh just days after he publicly claimed he was being entrapped by government informants. Khalifah al-Akili, a convert to Islam, was arrested on a firearm violation. He is scheduled to appear in court today. On Sunday, he posted a Facebook message accusing a government informant named Shahed Hussain of attempting to entrap him earlier this year. Mother Jones magazine recently described Hussain as an ”FBI Super-informant” for playing a key role in the terror prosecutions of the Newburgh 4 and Albany-based cleric Yassin Aref.
