Were Israeli soldiers beaten on Gaza "Freedom Flotilla?

First, though, you need to know about a recent Guardian interview with Khaled Meshal, the political leader of Hamas, which reeked of scorn against the U.S. whose envoys, he claimed, talk to the terrorist group directly but the U.S. isn't brave enough to do it openly (i.e., they meet in secret).  He then lavished praise on Russia's president for a direct meeting with him in what appeared to be a political ploy to make the U.S. look very timid.

We all know Israel is the stated enemy of Hamas who wants its destruction for "Islam" that you can read all about in their 1988 charter.  This is just one part of a much larger global Islamist movement to regain the land once under the firm control of a long series of Islamic supremacist caliphates.  The ultimate goal of this movement is global control aided by multiple jihadist attacks carried out daily worldwide which, surprise, surprise, the Obama administration refuses to recognize.

It seems to me Muslims don't want to be reminded that in June 2007 Hamas violently overthrew the Gaza Strip (area in white above) in a Palestinian civil war that seized power from the Fatah government.  After this happened, access to the area was severely limited by Israel and Egypt.  Yes, Egypt.

A flotilla of ships heading towards a Gaza port was stopped by the Israeli Navy today after it has been warned it would not be allowed to sail directly to the strip. In spite of the warnings, Hamas had planned a big reception for them.

While the Arab world condemns Israel, a recently released video by the IDF appears to shows Israeli soldiers being attacked as they boarded one of the ships in the flotilla:
 

Anna Baltzer, CAIR Oklahoma's keynote (anti-American, anti-Israeli) speaker recently, was to travel to Palestine during this time as noted on her twitter post.  Here you will also find two links to the speech she gave in Oklahoma City posted on May 20th.  I don't know if she was on the flotilla but she is an excellent example how Islamists and their leftist minions try to make everything all Israel's (and the U.S.'s) fault.

Meanwhile, Hamas welcomes Israel aid ship action 'condemnation' (good video interview) which hasn't waivered from their goal to destroy Israel for Islam in over 22 years.  And as a final reminder, Palestine was a territory of the Ottoman Empire - an Islamic hegemony that lasted centuries,  It did not exist in Bibical times and was never mentioned in the Quran which was written centuries later.

Update 6/1/10:  It also appears secular Turkey, whose ancient city, Istanbul, once thrived with Christians until it became the headquarters of the Ottoman Empire, has taken a turn towards Islamism; Turkey urges world to punish Israel for 'massacre'  and Turkey wants US condemnation of Israeli raid.  

The Turkish flag was flown on at least one of the flotilla ships.

To honor all the soldiers who fought and died to protect our freedom!

Nihad Awad: "False premise to say 9/11 had anything to do with Islam

Nihad Awad, one of the co-founders and Executive Director of CAIR, a key player in the Islamic Supremacist Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure and movement in America, said on Fox News last night it was fear-mongering to think 9/11 had anything to do with Islam and those who say so are trying to divide Americans among themselves.

Folks, this is nothing more than complying with Sharia law which means you never say anything negative about Islam - even if it is true.  Unfortunately, you may have also noticed, Islamists have now convinced the Obama administration to also follow Sharia despite Islam's long, long, long  history of Islamic supremacy conquests and rule along with the unprecedented global jihadist movement of today.

CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood and more

Religious guidance of Sheikh Abdullah Faisal incites murder

Someone caught part of Sheikh Abdullah Faisal's talk (el-Faisal) from Wednesday that was broadcasted on RevolutionMuslim that's run out of New York City by Younus Muhammad.  At the point the video starts, Faisal tells how gays can redeem themselves in a horrific murderous way.  There were over 40 people listening at the time, I was told.

This evil man was sentenced to prison in the UK for inciting murder and then, after his sentence was up, he was deported to Jamaica in January of this year.  Now, he influences Muslims in America and wherever he can to commit murder.  RevolutionMuslim openly promotes his lectures.

Rather than condemn this Shiekh and others who help feed the GLOBAL jihadist movement that gives Islam a bad name, CAIR an outgrowth of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America, goes after the FBI and conservatives, if you've been paying attention. 

One has to hope the FBI and other law enforcement officials are listening.

Jamaican Cleric Uses Web To Spread Jihad Message  NPR

CBS News opinion article on Muslims lacks transparency

CBS News used an opinion article, America's Muslims: Guilty Until Proven Innocent?,  written by a far-left guest writer for TomDispatch which is supported by the " progressive" (i.e., anti-American)  Nation Institute which CBS failed to disclose.  This article paints a nasty picture of U.S. counter-terrorism efforts and argues that Muslims should police themselves.  Hummm...   How's that worked out so far?

By the way, Noam Chomsky and Islamist-loving Juan Cole also guest write for TomDispatch. 

I say the more you know...

Shiek Abdullah Faisal's extremism a threat to Americans

Most Americans are totally unaware of an Islamic cleric by the name of Abdullah el-Faisal, who was expelled from the UK in January after being jailed for inciting murder of Christians, Jews, Americans and others,  is now spreading his hatred of America and non-Muslims online from Jamaica.  Anti-American blogger, Younus Muhammad, who runs New-York-based RevolutionMuslim, has placed live and recorded talks by Faisal on his website.   The bottom line here is quite simple.  Younus is a traitor to America but officials will not take action.  In the link above to him, you can hear him in his own words that the Time Square bomber should have planned his operations better.

NPR wrote about Faisal on May 19th in an article titled Jamaican Imam Said To Inspire Times Square Suspect:

...He's been linked to two of the men who blew up transportation targets in the U.K. in 2005. He was a mentor to a Jamaican convert, Germaine Lindsay, who died in that 2005 suicide bombing. He has also been linked to the man who wanted to set up a terrorism training camp in Oregon several years ago. He was an imam at the Brixton Mosque in London when Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, worshipped there. Zacharias Moussaoui, the 20th hijacker in the Sept. 11 attacks, was also a follower of his.

More recently, Faisal was sentenced to prison in the U.K. for calling followers to kill Jews, Americans and Hindus in one of his CD lectures. He served more than four years, then ended up in Africa. He was just deported to Jamaica from Kenya a couple of months ago for allegedly trying to recruit people there for violent jihad — a charge he denies.

And now there appears to be a connection to the Times Square bomber. People close to the investigation tell NPR that Shahzad told investigators that Abdullah Faisal and Awlaki were, in his words, "the only two clerics out there who have got it right."

In fact, intelligence sources say Shahzad tried to contact Awlaki and Faisal ahead of his alleged attack. Abdullah Faisal told NPR that he doesn't think he got any such e-mail — or if he did, he didn't answer it...

Everyday there are American Muslims being shaped and molded to do evil by Faisal and other radical Islamic clerics like Yemen-based Anwar Awlaki who called upon Muslims to kill Americans, just a couple days ago.

The good news here is nearly all Muslims in America will not act but it's simply stunning how the world's Islamic leaders are silent, including those in America.  A google search turned up no response to Awlaki or Faisal by Islamic leaders, that I can find.  This is the time for them to speak up loud and clear for the sake of their religion which appears to have been hijacked by global Islamists.

CAIR advises Muslims they do not have to answer FBI questions!

What does CAIR do when they receive reports the FBI and other law enforcement officials are questioning more Muslims, of late?

Why, they make sure their fellow Muslims know they do not have to answer any questions, with or without, a subpoena. That's what they do:

CAIR Action Alert 609: "The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said today that its offices nationwide are receiving an increasing number of reports of FBI agents, along with other law enforcement officers, visiting and interviewing American Muslims, particularly members of the Pakistani-American community. Understand that providing information to the FBI or any law enforcement officer, absent a subpoena, is strictly voluntary. You are not obligated under law to answer any questions from law enforcement officers other than providing them with an official identification card...If they do have an arrest or search warrant, you can still exercise your right to remain silent...Should you decide to speak to agents alone despite the risks, note that you may set the conditions of the interview, including choosing when and where the interview is to take place, having a third party present such as a family member or community leader, deciding which questions to answer, and refusing to sign any documents. You may cancel the interview at any time..."

On the other hand, they did advise Muslims to report criminal activity but the overall tone of the action alert is exactly what I would expect from this Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas originated outfit in America.

Congressional Dems stand and applaud when President Calderon slams Arizona law

Something is seriously wrong when Congressional Dems give a standing ovation to a foreign leader after he slams the new Arizona immigration law during his address to Congress, including Attorney General Eric Holder and Attorney General Janet Napolitano! 

Federal law requires immigrants to register and carry proper papers (8 USC 1304(e) and 8 USC 1306(a))-  The Arizona law goes no further.  Hello???

Let's point out, in the 2005 Supreme Court case MUEHLER V. MENA (03-1423) 544 U.S. 93 (2005):

"..We have “held repeatedly that mere police questioning does not constitute a seizure.” Florida v. Bostick, 501 U.S. 429, 434 (1991); see also INS v. Delgado, 466 U.S. 210, 212 (1984). “[E]ven when officers have no basis for suspecting a particular individual, they may generally ask questions of that individual; ask to examine the individual’s identification; and request consent to search his or her luggage...”

Hummm....

This is by far the most disturbing anti-American moments I have ever witnessed in Congress which clearly differentiates and defines the Dems from conservatives and the majority of Americans.
 

Update: Yipee! Rep. Tom McClintock (R CA) spoke up with some outstanding common sense after the far-left wing in Congress, including some members of the president's cabinet, stood with Calderon!

FBI raid two locations in Boston re Times Square bombing

A home near Boston has been raided by the FBI in possible connection to the failed Times Square bombing.  Search warrants were also issued for several locations.  Two are being held on immigration charges, right now.

Local report from WBZ/CBS 

...Barbara Lacerra told WBZ she saw the raid unfold from her home nearby at about 5:45 a.m.

"(We) heard the FBI guy yell 'FBI don't blah, blah move!'"

Lacerra said several FBI agents with guns blocked off the road, went into the home and took out a young man in shackles and handcuffs. She noted that he was quiet and cooperative.

Another witness told WBZ's Kathy Curran that boxes of paper, computers and a bag of money was also removed from the home.

"The searches are a product of evidence that has been gathered in the investigation subsequent to the Times Square bombing investigation," Marcinkiewicz said.

...FBI agents and police are also at a Mobil gas station on Harvard Street in Brookline, about one block from Coolidge Corner.

Update 1:02 PM CT:  Location of raids (per WBUR) on google map; lists the other raids done in New Jersey and Long Island, too for a total of six, so far.

Update 3:52 PM CT:  A third person has been arrested or detained.  All three are

Update 5:52 PM CT:  Faisal Shahzad used "Hawala" System to Get Money, Sources Say

The hawala system is a courier system used by terrorists and criminals to conceal the flow of money without raising red flags among law enforcement.

This is the first time a terror attack in America has been linked to the Taliban.

Anti-American movement pushes forward

Reality check time. Part of the Hispanic/Latin immigration movement in the U.S. is quite anti-American. It's not only confrontational, it's seditious and dangerous and it happens in California, fairly regularly. Earlier this month several students were sent home because they wore an American flag tee shirt on Cinco de Mayo. You probably also heard about the young student .who was told by her teacher. her drawing of the American flag with the words God Bless America was offensive!  My God - what is going on? There is no respect for America by these people.

Unfortunately, it's not just limited to California.  In Texas a few days ago, a student was suspended for taking down the Mexican flag within his high school.

As we all know, there are many, many immigrants who love America, for sure. But,  this anti-America movement is very worrisome. It's not only this hateful movement but the hard-core Islamists in America are also aggressively teaching their youth to be activists for change. Both partner with libs whenever they can.

I aks you this question.  Are we teaching our children and young adults what they need to know to be more active for a strong America? Are our children prepared to be activists for freedom? Perhaps a little less pleasure seeking and more attention paid to what is threathening our freedom is in order.

Here's a video of the U.S. flag being knocked off a truck in Morgan Hill, CA. recently, which is the same town wear the students who wore the tee shirts live.

RevolutionMuslim responds to being busted in chatroom!

Younus Abdullah Muhammed the young radical Muslim who runs RevolutionMuslim, a dangerous New York-based radical Islamist website,  is rather teed-off up over being busted (his words) by me in a chatroom at PalTalk Friday night over his chilliing reaction to the failed Times Square bombing. 

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know Muhammed's heart and soul is poisoned by a religious-based hatred of anything non-Islamic:

"Apparently, the kuffar are very interested in our Paltalk convo's, it is obvious that these people have absolutely no lives. Miserable, deaf, dumb and blind, they will wander to and fro until hellfire eats them forever. I can only say, Perish in your Rage!!! Your end is coming soon! May Allah destroy the economy, society, political reality and general safety of every nation at war with Islam, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!"

I sure hope Muhammed and all American followers of the hateful sheik out of Jamaica they so adore are under the watchful eyes of the authorities.

You better hope so, too.

Teacher: California stolen occupied Mexico!

This is one very anti-American video.  The man is not identified by name nor do we know the date of it.  In one video he is ID'd as a teacher and in another video copy I saw he was ID'd as a UCLA professor.  He does mention UCLA but, in either case, what he said is very troubling:

Wasn't it just this week some California students were sent home from school for wearing tee-shirts with the American flag?

Muslim woman says she was kidnapped by parents in Ohio

Now, why would this happen?  Well, she said it was because she had married a Christian. 

There's really no telling what might have happened to her had her husband not got the police involved who then tracked her approximate location by GPS.  The whole incident involved a rented van, other men, and her parents.  No charges have been filed as police are still gathering information.

Pipe bomb found in truck near Oklahoma City but no arrests made!

photo source: News9

A pipe bomb was found in a truck early this morning after a traffic stop in Bethany, a suburb of Oklahoma City, but the "young men" were allowed to go home!  Say what?

...The officer stopped a truck near NW 50 and N Stinchcomb Avenue just after 1 a.m. and saw a hunting rifle in the vehicle, said Bethany police Capt. David Rodgers. The officer later saw what appeared to be a pipe bomb in the truck and evacuated the area.

Rodgers said detectives are still working to determine what complaints will be sent to the district attorney, but the men in the truck were not arrested.

"Everybody was cooperative," Rodgers said. "From my understanding they were younger guys, it's not like they were terrorists and we said 'hey, you can go home...'"

I'm rather confused here because most terrorists are young men.  If a bomb is found in your car, you should be arrested, PERIOD.  What in the hell is going on here?   

The bomb was detonated a few hours later. 

Update 5:30 PM CT:  News9 reports three men are in custody so there is conflicting information here.  Did the police captain quoted above not know what he was talking about or did News9 get it wrong?

Update 5/9/10 3:38 PM CT:  There were no arrests confirmed in an update to the original story by NewsOK Bethany police find bomb, arrest no one  and I see News 9 has corrected their written article but not the video.

RevolutionMuslim chatroom: OK to kill children of 'kafir"

It's OK to kill the children of Kafirs (non-Muslims) the sheikh said. This was heard Thursday night in the chatroom of RevolutionMuslim, according to information I got.

This is one person's account of what was said:

"...what I heard in this chatroom almost made me vomit! they were playing a speach by a so called shaikh...the name was faisal...maybe abdulah fisal? my computer battery died so I lost the info but that is a name they have up on the site....this guy was far beyond any extremist that I'd ever heard he was seriously justifying killing of children of "kafir" I think that the "death and destruction" comment made by yunis in the video that was posted is not just an idle threat....To be clear...I didn't hear any direct plans of anyone but the fact that they were playing a recording of a man that was justifying murder of CHILDREN....I mean I just really felt the need to tell someone..."

Out of concern, I got on a related chatroom last night that was promoted by RevolutionMuslim.  This was the first time I'd ever gone into a jihadist-type room.  Here I heard how they revered Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal, who was suppose to be on live. He was a no-show but the adulation for him was ridiculous, convoluted and dangerous. This man was convicted in Britain for soliciting the murder of Jews, Americans and Hindus and was deported to Jamaica after serving 4 years in jail! He is forbidden from preaching in any mosque there. At one point, there were over 70 people in the chat room, folks. There was also praise for Fahad Hashmi who pleaded guilty in NYC to one-count of terrorism last last month.

A question was ask how they could hate so much. It was the essence of the faith one person said. Younus Abdullah Muhammed who runs RevolutionMuslim, out of Queens, said. "I learned that hating for the sake of Allah was love in its purest sense."

WHAT?

Here's a screenshot of the conversation:

Then, Younus got on the microphone. He was asked what he thought about the Times Square bombing and he responded, and I quote, "I think people should be more careful when they plan operations, (followed by sick laughter) try fertilizer, not firecrackers, (laughing) inshallah (God willing)."

Below is a video clip of it:

Investigators are looking into a possible link between RM's threat against South Park creators and the Time Square failed bombing. RevolutionMuslim and its followers are anti-American, anti-democracy, anti non-Muslim Islamic supremacists.  This website should be shut down for its hate and possible murderous intent.

It's putting the safety of Americans at risk.

Is it unfair to link Islam to terrorism?

The Seattle police department along with the Washington State police appear to think so since they withdrew from a webinar by Security Solutions International who had been accused by CAIR of unfairly linking terrorism to Islam.  Hummm, are there not thousands upon thousands upon thousands of jihadists worldwide?  What about the multitudes of jihadists websites?  Or, what about the ruling by Islamic leaders who call for combative jihad and that it's incumbent on them to fight?  Isn't it rather unfair NOT to recognize these facts? 

Duh.

CAIR, an organization founded by the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America, issued a press release about the withdrawal today:

...SSI's April 29webinar was to include presentations by employees of Microsoft, ESRI, the Seattle Police Department, and Washington State Patrol. Both law enforcement agencies announced in a community meeting on April 21 that they would withdraw from the event.

Critics have accused SSI of unfairly linking the faith of Islam to terrorism in its presentations. SSI's CEO once told the Seattle Times, "I can't take the responsibility of my course linking their religion [Islam] to terrorism. I think their religion got linked to terrorism a long time ago." An SSI trainer said in a recent webinar, "We pretty much pick on everybody; we particularly pick on Muslims."

In its trainings, SSI has offered misinformation about Islamic history, promoted Muslim "control" and "take over" conspiracy theories, advocated profiling local Muslim communities, and smeared mainstream American Muslim organizations. Despite disclaimers that "not all Muslims are terrorists," SSI presenters claim Islam's "mandate" is to "dominate the world" and refer to the false notion of "Jewish-Muslim hatred..."

Folks, CAIR and its partners (some far-left libs) are having some successful at applying Islamic law here, although it's disguised as Islamophobic behavior.  They know that too many Americans and officials will cower at being called names like bigots or hate-mongers.  But, if we don't deal in the truth, it isn't going to make us safer. The global jihadist movement is real and we hear about daily.  Islamic leaders, worldwide, have a duty to stop it.  Trying to stiffle discussions on this movement is shameful.

The fact is Islamic law forbids anything negative to be said about Islam, even if it's true, and is one way Muslims and others are strictly controlled in Islamic countries and that is what it appears CAIR does here to some degree. 

Americans had better wake up!

Guns in public in Oklahoma's future?

I'm in a hurry to get ready, as always.  After a quick fluff or two of my hair, I add some blush and lip gloss.  There, I'm ready to go.  But, this routine could have one more step soon; strapping on my gun and its holster before I head out. 

Oklahoma will likely join a number of other states who allow guns to be carried visibly in public.  House Bill 3354, passed in the House overwhelmingly yesterday with a 74-24 vote.  Earlier, the Senate passed it 33-15.  The bill will go to Governor Henry (D) for his signature.  Henry has not indicated if he will or will not sign it into law but legislators say they likely have enough votes to override his veto. 

There are around 97,000 Oklahomans with concealed gun permits who would be legally allowed to open-carry their weapons starting November 1st.  Businesses could ban these guns from their premises, though.

I have mixed feelings about seeing guns on people because I hate guns but I will do what it takes to defend my family or others if they are in eminent danger.

I saw this photo on FB and just had to share:

Alleged Times Square bomber pulled off plane headed for Dubai!

It was brilliant law enforcement teamwork that led to a man on departing Dubai-bound jet from J. F. Kennedy Airport late last night.  The plane was called back to the terminal before it took off and the suspect was arrested in the Times Square failed car bomb!  (Photo source www.orkut.com)

The man is a newly naturalized U.S. citizen of Pakistani origin who lived in Connecticut.

...Faisal Shahzad, 30, was taken into custody at Kennedy Airport aboard an Emirates flight to Dubai along with three other men, one of whom was believed to be his roommate, according to a law enforcement official. The pair had apparently driven to the airport in a white Isuzu Trooper that was found in a parking lot with a handgun inside, the official said.

The official added that the two other men removed from the plane — which eventually took off hours later — may have been taken into custody simply because they had similar names; they were not suspected of being involved in the Times Square bombing attempt. The role of Mr. Shahzad’s roommate, if any, was unclear.

...Charges against Mr. Shahzad, who had returned recently from a trip to Pakistan, were not announced, but he was expected to be charged Tuesday in federal court...

Another report said the disposable cell phone number he used to buy the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder that was used in the bombing led to Shahzad.

Shahzad was married and had two children, who all lived in Pakistan.  He became an American citizen in April 2009.

Update 9:45 PM CT:  Shahzad was a well educated man with an MBA.  His wife had relatives who lived in Aurora, Co, per Fox News:

"...Records obtained by Fox News show Huma Asif Mian, Faisal Shahzad's wife, has relatives listed at various addresses in Colorado. The addresses include apartment leases and a property deed in Aurora, Colo., and an apartment lease in Golden, Colo., that were held on-and-off from 2003 to March of this year.

A person who answered the phone at the Golden address listed in the records refused to answer questions on Tuesday and instead asked a series of questions about how Fox News obtained the address, phone number and other information related to the case.

Zazi, the would-be subway bomber, returned to the U.S. from Pakistan after receiving bomb training and lived in Aurora from January 2009 to July 31, 2009. He then traveled to New York City, according to the information contained in his indictment, where he attempted the failed subway bombing. He and several relatives had lived in an apartment off Smoky Hill Road in Aurora, about seven miles from the address of an apartment associated with Shahzad's wife...."

RevolutionMuslim at Times Square before car bomb

What a werid coincidence.  Just hours before a bomb failed to explode a Nissan Pathfinder in Times Square Saturday night, near the headquarters of Viacom, RevolutionMuslim preached the evils of the U.S. in the same general area.  This is the same Islamist group that issued a warning, which they claimed was not a threat,  against Comedy Central animators of South Park about a silly cartoon they found offensive to Islam. 

The owners of Comedy Central?  Viacom.

Younus Abdullah Muhammed is the current operator of RM, which was founded by Yousef al-Khattab who apparently left (fled?) New York last November because he hates America. Khattab claimed on his blog he had nothing to do with the South Park warning.  I hope Khattab didn't let the door hit him in the behind when he left America, the home of the brave and the land of the free.

Car bomb fizzles in Time Square!

A car bomb failed to explode Saturday night in Times Square.  This happened a few months after another bomb failed to explode on Christmas Day aboard a jet heading for Detroit.  I'm just thinking out loud here but how many bullets are we going to dodge before one or more are successful?

A dark green 1993 Nissan Pathfinder pulled into the heart of Times Square and with the car still running the driver got out and left the area with the intent of blowing up the car along with anyone nearby. The location of the SUV was very near the Viacom building which owns Comedy Central whose South Park inflamed an Islamist website who warned of harm to the creators who they whined depicted their prophet in an offensive manner. South Park caved and blacked out the offense. The coincidence is so remarkable here it just can't be that easy. The good news there should be lots of clues in the SUV and surveillance videos, including this one which show a person of interest:

An alert vendor, a hero in my book,  noticed the SUV and saw smoke coming out of it and notified a policeman.  When the vendor was asked about his actions he said. if you see something - say something!

Two New York Muslims arrested on terror charges

Two educated American Muslims were arrested late last week on terror related charges alleging they aided al-Qaeda in Yemen.  The New York Daily reports they were arrested in Dubai and brought to America.

Wesam El-Hanafi, 33, and Sabirhan Hasanoff, 34, were arrested and charged:

Among the overt acts alleged in the indictment are:

In November 2007, Hasanoff received $50,000 from an unnamed co-conspirator referred to in the indictment as "CC-1."

In or about February 2008, El-Hanafi, traveled to Yemen where he met with two members of al Qaeda who instructed him on operational security measures and directed him to perform tasks for al Qaeda.

In May 2008, El-Hanafi purchased a subscription for a software program that enabled him to communicate securely with others over the internet."The defendants would and did agree to provide al Qaeda with, among other things, computer advice and assistance, services, and currency, knowing that al Qaeda had engaged and was engaging in terrorist activity," according to the indictment.

Thirteen overt acts are alleged in the indictment, including "El-Hanafi accepted an oath of allegiance on behalf of al Qaeda from [an unnamed co-conspirator]," and "Hasanoff traveled to New York City and performed tasks for al Qaeda."

The men may have been radicalized in America.
