"Kenyans on trial for terror attacks"
"Murder charges against the three were dropped in November"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The trial of three Kenyans charged with plotting to bomb the US embassy in Nairobi has opened.
They are accused of "conspiracy to commit a felony" over the blast which killed 213 in 1998 and of plotting to blow up the new embassy last year.
They are also charged with involvement in last year's suicide bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel near the resort of Mombasa, which killed at least 12.
The al-Qaeda network has said it carried out the 1998 embassy bombing."
Article I just came across and posted:
When AQ can recruit inside of our very own jails, we surely have a problem!!!

Al Qaeda Still Recruits In U.S. Jails
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1053758/posts WASHINGTON – Despite a government crackdown, Al Qaeda continues to recruit members in U.S. prisons.
U.S. officials said Al Qaeda’s recruitment has been facilitated by Muslim clergy with access to federal and state prisons. They said the organization has succeeded in winning new members despite tighter rules instituted by authorities since the Al Qaeda suicide attacks in September 2001.
Officials said Muslim chaplains have facilitated Al Qaeda recruitment. They cited the case of Warith Deen Umar, the administrative chaplain for the New York State Corrections Department, said to have preached that the Al Qaeda suicide attackers who killed more than 3,000 Americans were heroes.
