(Otago Daily Times) A man claiming to be an Isis member threatened government employees because he wanted to be deported, a court has heard.
Mohammed Omar Mohammed Al-Attas, 33, appeared in the Dunedin District Court yesterday after he admitted two charges of speaking threateningly.
The court heard that on November 2, the defendant sent an email to a staff member at the Ministry of Social Development that read: “Me and my family are ISIS and I were plan [sic] to do ISIS activity in New Zealand.”
The employee was “significantly” concerned and alerted police.
Al-Attas later sent a message to a counsellor stating: “F… this country, I want to go back to my original country.”
