A wannabe terrorist from Brooklyn was indicted yesterday for allegedly seeking training and weapons from Islamic militants to fight US troops overseas.

The FBI said Betim Kaziu, a US citizen, traveled to Cairo in February and later to Kosovo, where he was arrested in August.

Along the way, Kaziu allegedly sought to join Al-Shabbab, an armed movement listed as a terrorist group by the State Department, and train in Pakistan to fight American troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Balkans.

They make it sound like he was born bred and raised in Brooklyn....

Blame the USA.

It would be like if a Terrorist Stayed in Maybury for a month or two before committing an attack they would say they are from Maybury. Golllll-E!
