Attorney General John Ashcroft announces four-count terrorism indictment against a Somali held in Ohio.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Somali citizen held in immigration custody in Cincinnati, Ohio, has been indicted in an alleged al Qaeda plot to bomb an Ohio shopping mall, Justice Department officials said Monday.

Nuradin Abdi, 32, of Somalia was indicted on four charges of providing material support to al Qaeda, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft announced.

Another law enforcement official said Abdi had a relationship with Iyman Faris, an Ohio truck driver convicted last year of providing material support for al Qaeda.

"It is alleged that Abdi, along with admitted al Qaeda operative Iyman Faris and other co-conspirators, initiated a plot to blow up a Columbus-area shopping mall. It also is alleged that in pursuit of this plot, Abdi received bomb-making instructions from one of those co-conspirators," a Justice Department statement said.

Well. Well. It must be that Bush isn't doing enough on the War on Terror.

The mall is the Polaris Fashion Mall about 2 mile due West of my home in Columbus OH.

"This is a Rove set up."

"Sounds like KKKarl Rove is trying to steal Clinton's spotlight."

"Bush had him arrested to keep him quiet until after the election."

Well, with all the Abu Graib abuses, we at least should give consideration to his motivations... /evilsarcasm_off

Guess what, the USA is paying money to move 10,000 Somalians into the USA. Many have already arrived and are happily pulling down welfare checks and scamming the system while making many babies...

Not all somalis are muslim, because he often spoke of the "eeeeviiiillll" somalis in the south. Its comforting to know he is now doing a family practice residency in Toledo.

Hang the bastard by his nuts while I slowly slice off quivering pieces of muslim flesh. Get a full confession. Kill the bastard. Shove a pork chop in his mouth. Shove a pork sausage in his a$$. Wrap in a pigskin. Send to Allah with kisses.

Our immigration policies are hopelessly skewed in the wrong direction.

Instead of importing thousands of Muslim Bantus who are intent on tearing the civic fabric of this country, we should be offering assistance to the thousands of helpless Dinka refugees in The Sudan, which has pursued a policy of mass extermination against the Christian/Animist South of the country since 1983.

They didn't want these moochers in Maine, they didn't want them in Atlanta, Georgia and they certainly don't want them in Minnesota or Ohio!

It's way past time that we made some major adjustments to the wretchedly implemented 1965 Immigration Act passed by the U.S. Congress.

I sure hope this terrorist isn't put on trial out in Idaho ... bleeding heart liberal Idahoans just acquitted a terrorist who aided the 9/11 murderers! Liberalism, a disease in need of eradication. The Democrat Party, vector for the disease.

"Liberal Idahoans?"

That sounds like either an oxymoron, or the name of a downscale escort agency.

Thanks for an update from the hyper-partisan insane.... You know I thought of them during it all, but my conspiracy theory is BETTER than there's. I was certain they would bring up that this is a campaign stunt because Ohio is a huge battleground state and this is a reminder to the swing voters that the most important issue in the election is terrorism.

I shouldn't be giving them any ideas, but its good to know that even without trying I am a smarter, more creative conspiracy theorist than they are.
