>>They probably weren't targeting Lodi, but they undoubtably saw it as a good place to launch attacks from.
Could be. I was listening to my AM radio show and a guy who claimed to know one of the suspects (not the two arrested, one of the others who is being detained for immigration reasons), said he noticed them staring at the aqueducts outside of town. According to this guy, the only reason people would be out there is to go fishing. And they didn't have any fishing poles.
Two other men were arrested in Lodi for violating terms of their visas, said Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Dean Boyd.
The men have been identified as Muhammad Adil Khan -- an imam at Farooqia Islamic Center -- and Shabbir Ahmed, who is also an imam in Lodi, an administration source said.
