I’ve been searching Google and Yahoo news daily for new information on the 2 Middle Eastern Students that were arrested in Goose Creek, South Carolina with explosives. I just got home from Detroit shopping for the Yuntif (Holiday) with my lovely wife and low and behold…….
They’re seems to be some news about our misunderstood Middle Eastern School Boys who were busted in Florida with IED’s (Improvised Explosive Devices) in their car.
From The Tampa Bay Tribune:
TAMPA - A federal grand jury in Tampa is asking for DNA and hair samples from a University of South Florida student jailed four weeks ago in South Carolina on explosives charges, his attorney said.
Andrew Savage said in a phone interview Wednesday night that he had no indication why the samples were being sought from his client, Youssef Megahed. The news came as the grand jury heard testimony Wednesday from people who have connections to Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed, another USF student arrested at the same time. Apparently, Ahmed Mohamed is a recent migrant to the United States coming here much like many of the 9/11 group of 19 so called “Devout” Muslims who turned 4 passenger airliners into guided missiles killing 3000 Americans in their quest for 72 virgins as promised by the Grand Daddy of Islamic Terrorists, the Cartoon Like Prophet Muhammad.

I never did hear exactly what they had in the trunk. Was it pipe bombs, M-80s or real explosives? The pair claimed it was “fireworks”.
The news reports said Pipe Bombs.
Latest update. Both men were charged, one of them under a terrorism statute.
Just as one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter - one man’s pipebomb is another man’s firework. Especially if you can claim to be a member of the “Religion of Peace.”
We had just come thru Charleston a day after this took place. It was funny because the bridge in Minnisota had just collapsed and going into Charleston over the new Ravenel Bridge everyone was creeping at about 5 miles an hour. The next day when we saw the paper on these two guys, it had very little information.
Evidently they were stopped around 1:30 am for speeding. The area they were near has allot of military holdings, as well as being a past holding area for enemy combatants from Iraq. When the officer approached, the one in the passenger seat hid his lap top. In the trunk were explosives, and a pipe bomb made with PVC pipe. Upon a warrant issued at their home in Fl., there were more explosive materials, and many feet of PVC pipe. Evidently the home they are renting also has come speculative ties as well.
