Two Men Arrested In Albany for Suspected Terrorism Activity


(posted: August 5th, 7:16am)  Two men have been arrested in Albany and are being held on criminal complaint for materially supporting terrorism. 

The two men, 34 year-old Yassim Muhhidin, Imam of the Majid Al Salam mosque in Albany, and 49 year-old Mohammed Mosharref Hoosain, founder of the mosque, have links to the Ansar al Islam Iraqi terror group.  They sought help from a confidential informant and were attempting to launder money to purchase shoulder launching missiles. 

This was a long-running FBI sting op. 

WTEN will continue to bring you updates throughout the day as this story unfolds.

Oh good. The imam and the founder. So that means the entire mosque is probably corrupt as they come.
