Man on no fly list granted school bus license | Emergency Preparedness | Forums

is this real life?

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The state Department of Public Safety has granted a school bus driver’s license to a Minnesota man who is on the Homeland Security “no-fly” list.

The department said it has no legal reason to deny a license to Amir Meshal, who already has a Minnesota commercial truck driver’s license.

But some lawmakers say the state law regulating school bus and commercial truck drivers should be changed.

The man, Amir Meshal, was already under scrutiny from federal authorities for possible activities helping to recruit young people for terror groups.

He was banned from attending a local mosque in 2014, which said it “does not tolerate any advocacy or recruitment or extremism on its premises.”

He’s also been placed on a U.S. government “no-fly” list.

Documents obtained from the Department of Homeland Security by WCCO-TV say Meshal “is an individual who represents a threat of engaging in or conducting a violent act of terrorism.”
