The full scale of an extremist's determination to wage a 'one man jihad' on American soil that ended with him shooting dead four men in revenge for military action in the Middle East can be revealed today.

Records show Ali Muhammad Brown, 29, has confessed that he killed the men - including University of Richmond student Brendan Tevlin - because 'all these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life'.

Now MailOnline can reveal that he was arrested and prosecuted a decade ago for his role in a self-confessed 'Muslim Crew's' fraud scheme to raise money for fighters abroad, because 'you can't go to war broke.'
