August 5, 2004, 6:48 AM EDT ALBANY, N.Y. -- Federal agents and city police raided a Muslim mosque overnight Wednesday, with armed officers sealing off a block in downtown Albany for several hours.
Authorities declined to immediately discuss the raid at Masjid As-Salam mosque.
An FBI spokesman said a press conference was tentatively set Thursday afternoon in Washington. Some mosque members held morning prayers Thursday on a nearby sidewalk.
WTEN-TV reported two men were arrested and are suspected of providing material support for terrorism. Calls to the U.S. attorney's office were not immediately returned. On Tuesday, William Chase, special agent in charge of the FBI's Albany office, said there had been no terrorism-related arrests in the area and relatively few nationally since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"But I think as time goes on you'll start to see an increased number of prosecutions as law enforcement increases its level of activity and starts looking at some of the ancillary things like financing and those type of things, the things that feed into the system that supports the terrorism," Chase said.

Good on 'em. It's only one raid, but it shed the light on the roaches. Keep them on the defensive.

Terrorists? What's CAIR's take on this? /sarcasm
I wonder if these guys know the South African woman that was arrested in Texas? She was heading to New York.

They want any leftovers from the cell in Buffalo to know!! The Muslims in Buffalo turned out to support that cell. It gave us a good look at who's who.

The "Lackawanna Six" was possibly the most pathetic excuse for a squad of jihadi lunatics that I've ever seen.
That "Frontline" expose-which was supposed to serve as an exculpation of these men, but merely served to buttress the case made by Attny. Gen. Ashcroft-showed you how easily it is to bust up these rings of imbeciles once you have a willing informant and good police work.

There's a news conference this afternoon and I imagine that it might be Ashcroft. I have to work so someone please ping me.

ALBANY, N.Y. Federal agents and city police raided a Muslim mosque in Albany early this morning, with armed officers sealing off a block for several hours.
Authorities are declining to immediately discuss the raid at the Masjid As-Salam (mah-GHID' ah-sahl-AHM') mosque. An F-B-I spokesman says a press conference is tentatively set for this afternoon in Washington.
Some mosque members held morning prayers on a nearby sidewalk because they aren't being allowed inside the building.
