“Buena man is accused of al Qaeda-related terrorist attack in Yemen”

BUENA —

SNIPPET: “It wasn’t clear why the Baltimore FBI office was investigating, but records show Mobley previously lived in Newark, Del. The agency’s Baltimore office covers Delaware.”

SNIPPET: “A member of the Yemeni intelligence service confirmed Thursday that the man, originally described in statements as foreign, was a Somali-American.”

SNIPPET: “Michael Brothman of Vineland, N.J., said he graduated with Mobley from Buena Regional High School in 2002. He remembered Mobley boasting that he had a black belt in karate, being a fan of anime and being competitive in gym class. Mobley was also a member of his high school’s wrestling team.”

Campaign finance records show Mobley received $75 as an election day worker for Gov. Jon Corzine’s campaign in 2005.”

“S. Jersey man arrested in al-Qaeda sweep”

By John Shiffman and Jacquelyn L. Urgo
Inquirer Staff Writers

SNIPPET: “Sharif Mobley was born and raised in Buena, N.J., a tiny farming community in western Atlantic County, and later lived in Philadelphia and Newark, Del. Yemeni authorities said he could face murder charges.”

SNIPPET: “Albasha said Mobley was arrested last week during a sweep of al-Qaeda operatives with close ties to an Alabama-born extremist based in Somalia, Abu Mansour, known as “the American,” and the group al-Shabaab, or “the Youth.”

The FBI has been tracking young Somali American men who have allegedly joined al-Shabaab in Somalia; at least 14 from the Minneapolis area have been indicted on terrorism charges.”

SNIPPET: “Since January, when Mansour, the American jihadist, pledged to send more foreign fighters from Somalia, Yemen has tried to tighten its borders.”

SNIPPET: “Mobley traveled from the United States to Yemen to learn Arabic, said a former neighbor, Nehal Aboelmaged.”

SNIPPET: “While in Delaware, Mobley was married to a woman named Sabaa and the couple had a young daughter, said Aboelmaged, who is also the wife of the imam at the mosque they attended in Newark, Del., the Islamic Society of Delaware.”

Meanwhile Obama’s Homeland targets conservatives, instead of the Islamic-terrorist enemy within.

Wow Buena, that is only down the road about 15 miles.

Matter of fact many years ago I did my student teaching at Buena High.

It is a relatively rural area.

I search for a local news outlet and found one from Vineland NJ with a 5 page article. Unlike the national outlets claiming he was US born this one says
"... Sharif Mobley -- a 26-year-old Somali-born U.S. citizen"

"Speaking to NBC Philadelphia Wednesday, Mobley's mother denied claims her son was a terrorist. She called Sharif a "good Muslim" and said he's "absolutely not a terrorist."

Yes Mom, how could anyone think someone from the "religion of peace" could be a terrorist?

As someone who has lived the better part of his life in this area of the country I can tell you from first hand experience that we've got more to worry about than just Arabs and the occasional nut bag Jihadi Jane. There are a boat load of radicalized Black Muslims that slither through our inner cities hell bent on America's destruction. Many are ex-cons who get radicalized in prisons. The mosques are crawling with them. They are a major national security problem right in our midst that is being out right ignored by this administration, and for that matter, the last one as well.

“Another American Tied to Al Qaeda in Yemen”

SNIPPET: “Sources say that Mobley had a relationship with Anwar Al-Awlaki, a former imam at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Va., who has been linked to a series of terror plots. Awlaki is considered an inspiration for Nidal Malik Hasan before the Fort Hood massacre and also is suspected of encouraging failed Christmas Day airline bomber Umar Abdulmutallab.

Mobley previously lived in Philadelphia and Newark, Delaware, where he occasionally worshipped at the mosque of the Islamic Society of Delaware. The Imam of the mosque, Abdel-Hadi Shehata, said Mobley moved to Yemen to learn Arabic and study Islam.”
