Ali Charaf Damache (born 21 August 1965)[1] is a citizen of Algeria and Ireland who was the first suspected terrorist to be extradited to the US during the first Donald Trump presidency.
[2][3] He was alleged to have been the ringleader of a cell tasked with killing Lars Vilks, a Swedish artist some Muslims accused of blasphemy for having drawn the Islamic prophet Muhammad in a cartoon.
[4] Ramirez would go by the nickname "Jihad Jamie", and would eventually receive an 8-year sentence for playing a role in the plot to kill Vilks.
[6] Ramirez and Colleen LaRose, another American convert to Islam, traveled to Ireland to participate in the murder plot.
Commentators would assert that Damache and his colleagues sought out blonde-haired, blue-eyed converts because, once radicalized, they would find it easy to cross borders without suspicion.
