WASHINGTON - Three suspected terrorists on Tuesday were indicted on charges that they targeted financial buildings in New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C., in a plot that prompted federal authorities to raise the terrorism threat assessment level in the area last summer.
A four-count indictment unsealed Tuesday accuses Dhiran Barot, Nadeem Tarmohammed and Qaisar Shaffi of scouting the New York Stock Exchange and Citicorp Building in New York, the Prudential Building in Newark, N.J., and the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in the District of Columbia. The three men, already in custody in England, were charged with three conspiracy counts and providing material support to terrorists.
Described as senior al-Qaida figure U.S. officials claim that Barot is a senior al-Qaida figure, known variously as Abu Eisa al-Hindi, Abu Musa al-Hindi and Issa al-Britani, who scouted the financial targets in the United States at the behest of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Prosecutors say the men conducted surveillance on the buildings between August 2000 and April 2001, including video surveillance in Manhattan around April 2001.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Good, catch the bastards
"Exxx-cellent..."
It's probably only a matter of time before they're released.
Kind of amazing how these things happen under the guidance of that incompetent administration who is doing nothing to combat terrorism in the US while devoting all of our resources to the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time.(;-} (reckon you'd call that a run on sentence)
Those names don't sound like white American males so I expect they'll be out on their own recognizance soon.
And yet our airport security STILL can't "profile" passengers!
We think alike
Great minds think alike...at the same time!
Y'know, if you include "porous borders" and "spending like a druken sailor" you'd have a complete left-to-right ripping of Bush.
Yep
OK, this is getting freaky!
That picture is soooo wrong.
The noose is empty!!! =P

Tried to search opensevcrets. Oddly enough the only Shaffir it returns donated to ACT and works for CBS.
Since they are in custody in Britain, I imagine that the Brits had someting to do with it.
However, in the continuing Democrat tradition of making everything that the administration does seem bad, I expect this question to come up when Gonzalez has a news conference later today.
Nadeem and I agree: Tar Mohammed! Feather him too!
