Wow, big mystery... Muslims... Raid... FBI... Mosque... I wonder if they were they selling girl scout cookies without a license or what?

Must have got wind of some radical Islamic cells ready to act up.

[DTogo]

Muslim community members familiar with the group said the institute is not a part of the seven mosques under the auspices of the Islamic Council of Greater Pittsburgh. Most members of the mosque are African-American, neighbors said.

Ties to the would-be Sears Tower bombers in FL??

Exactly. Hey, Moustafa, get a clue.

It's still Muslim and therefore suspicious just like all of them.

The activity centered around a three-story green house located in the 1300 block of Boyle Street.

Growing castor beans for ricin?

"any time law enforcement officials raid a house of worship it raises concerns,"

But this is a Mosque not a house of worship.

[SheLion]

hmmmmmm looks like the Mosque's have moved into Pa since this map was published!

[Pro-Bush]

What a busy week - first the Miami 7, now this? If another one happens we may have a pattern here. Could they be related?

When I first saw this on KDKA tonight at 11 pm, I thought of the upcoming AllStar Baseball Game to be played at PNC Park. This building is within walking distance of PNC...as both are located on Pittsburgh's North Shore. The report, by David Highfield, showed the house, the armed FBI agents, the group's spokeperson, but made no reference to the All Star Game, which I thought was rather odd, given the fact that security has to be the number one priority at the game. Hope more info on this come out...

Just saw the local TV news report on this story. They interviewed some of the neighbors, all of whom said there was nothing suspicious about them, they seemed like nice people, were trying to help the community, etc. etc.

Too bad they missed the biggest drug corner in Pittsburgh by a block! Could have killed two birds with one stone....

They were armed to teeth from my friend's comment while at work.

The complaint states there also are outstanding warrants for Williams in other states, including one in Washington for failure to register as a sex offender. Police say they can't detain someone if other states don't want to pay the cost of extradition. ...Police were called to the mosque last week when a 4-year-old girl fell out an open third-floor bedroom window. Officers considered the fall an accident and the child is recovering. (ED: It appears to be a home/Mosque/school...)

Maybe they're trying to emulate British intelligence looking for imaginary chemical vests...
