NEW YORK - A radical Muslim cleric, arrested Thursday in London, is accused in a U.S. indictment of trying to establish a terrorist training camp in Oregon while providing aid to both al-Qaida and the Taliban.
Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, 47, also is charged in the 11-count indictment with hostage-taking and conspiracy in connection with a December 1998 incident that left four tourists dead in Yemen.
"Those who support our terrorist enemies anywhere in the world must know that we will not rest until the threat they pose is eradicated," U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) said in announcing the arrest Thursday.
Thanks for the pings, and all of the info. I've been totally out of the loop this week. Daughter is gearing up for finals, so I've been up to my eyeballs in kids.
Daughter graduated from PSU last year. After 9/11, I was concerned for her safety, but she wasn't worried at all. She said that the terrorists wouldn't dare hit there. They would lose too many of their own if they did. ;o) BTW, she went into PSU a conservative, and she left even more conservative. They did nothing but confirm her beliefs. She was fortunate to have some liberal professors in her social/cultural classes that didn't mind that she had an opinion different from their own. Thankfully, she was mostly in math and science, so that was not really an issue. But, she did have a physics prof that spent one entire class explaining why we HAD to go into Iraq. The graduation ceremony was a real stinker, though.
AuntB and Gramps, some of your posts sent chills up my spine. I had no idea that such things were going on so close to home. I must live a sheltered life. I think I need to get out more. Maybe I will after she graduates from OSU and OHSU, and I don't have the kids so much.
Thank you all, again, for all of the information.
We also need to watch out for the internal enemies.
Thanks for the FBI wanted pics of ME terrorists, I printed it out to take with me on my trips through Corvallis Oregon.
You need to be a caring and good grandmother. You can worry about this stuff when your daughter finishes school.

"You need to be a caring and good grandmother. You can worry about this stuff when your daughter finishes school."
Gramps, I am going to do the very best I can for my grandbabies.
I hope and pray that, by the time my daughter graduates,
no one will have to worry about this stuff.
ROTFLOL! That's great!
As Rush says...good humor is based on truth. ;o)
I sure that you are doing a great job taking care of those grand babies of yours. Lets pray that we re elect GW and this nightmare of Islamofascist terrorism disappears with a whimper.
