BALTIMORE -- Mahmud Faruq Brent, a D.C. cab driver that lives in Baltimore was arrested in Newark, N.J., Thursday and charged with conspiring to provide support or resources to a group with terrorist ties.
Authorities said at one point Brent lived in Mount Rainier, Md., just across the D.C. line, but his most recent address is in northwest Baltimore.
Federal prosecutors said Brent attended a terrorist training camp in Pakistan and trained in a camp with ties to al-Qaida.
Investigators said Brent has direct ties to suspect Tarik Shah, a New York musician and martial arts expert as well as Dr. Rahik Sabir. Both men were arrested Memorial Day weekend on similar terror related charges.
Police also searched homes near Baltimore and the District where Brent once lived.
Prosecutors also said Brent had direct ties with the so-called Virginia Jihad network, men, who allegedly traveled to terror camps overseas and later practiced at paintball camps outside D.C.
According to court papers, investigators said they taped Brent boasting of traveling to Pakistan for training with quote "the fighters," and that it was one of his "better decisions of his life."
Perfect cover for a bomber I would say!!
