CHICAGO -- A federal official said seven people have been arrested in connection with the early stages of a plot to attack Chicago's Sears Tower and other buildings in the U.S.
NBC News has learned from federal law-enforcement sources Thursday that the FBI has arrested about half a dozen men in Miami as part of an ongoing terrorism operation.
The men, part of a radical black Muslim group, were planning terror acts in Miami and Chicago, the officials said. An FBI informant infiltrated the group, according to the source, neutralizing the threat.

I've thought about American born muslims both black and white for a while. Frankly the white ones concern me in the sense that they would blow themselves up. Black muslims don't seem quite so willing to blow themselves up but Malvo and Mohammad prove that there's no aversion to killing.
Black Muslims wouldn't blow themselves up, but they could instigate riots that could cost more lives than a simple belt bomb
In instigating riots they could also enable large scale attacks by true believers in the confusion.

Man, have you got him down pat. You could do a comedy routine. Sounds just like him.
There's likely a Canadian connection? I think you're right.
I don't find that when I go to the link you posted.
I am really glad black Muslims are being outed as Muslims.
You want to know why ALL muslims are a threat? Read this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/696408/posts
Islam is literally a greater threat to the world today than Naziism was in the 1930's. I hope we don't have to be woke up the same way we were then.
>>The official told The Associated Press the alleged plotters were mainly Americans with no apparent ties to al-Qaida or other foreign terrorist organizations.<<
If they are in fact black muslims, then that statement is a bald faced lie. Islam is, by definition, a terrorist organization.
25. This raid sounds like b.s. and voter intimidation to me
Isn't the Nation of Islam headquartered in Chicago? Is that a coincidence or what?
Durkah Durkah?
Residents living near the warehouse said the men taken into custody described themselves as Muslims and had tried to recruit young people to join their apparently militaristic group.The residents said FBI agents spent several hours in the neighborhood showing photos of the suspects and seeking information. They said the men, who appeared to be in their teens or 20s, had lived in the area about a year.
The men slept in the warehouse, said Tashawn Rose, 29. "They would come out late at night and exercise. It seemed like a military boot camp that they were working on there. They would come out and stand guard."
She talked to one of the men about a month ago: "They seemed brainwashed. They said they had given their lives to Allah."
Huge ATTA BOYS
Darfur is part of Sudan, and it's Muslim-on-Christian & Muslim-on-Animist violence, FTR.
After you shoot them of course.
Can't do that. In the interest of being kinder and gentler to murderers, W is closing it down.
You're obviously incapable of thinking at all.
When did he make that announcement?
Love it - you've got Calypso Louie nailed.
