Goose Creek - Two men are being held in the Berkeley County Detention Center after police find explosive making devices in their car. The quantity of explosive making materials in that vehicle is unclear. The FBI (website) reports that there is no known link to terrorism. The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office believes that among materials in the car's trunk were a bomb and bomb making materials that include chemicals, fuses, and igniters.

The men 21-year-old Yousef Megahed and 24-year-old Ahmed Mohamed were pulled over Saturday evening during a routine traffic stop near Myers Road and Highway 176. Few details about the suspects are known at this time. They are believed to be students at a Florida college. They are of Middle Eastern descent and are not US citizens. Neither man has been charged, but charges are expected Monday. A press conference will be held in Berkeley County on Monday morning. Possession of unlawful explosives is among the potential charges. Officials are not at this time releasing any additional information. The Berkeley County Sheriff's office may confirm what exactly was found in that trunk during Monday's press conference.

Do you think anyone will freak out if dead rugriders start appearing on the streets and back alleys of America if our young American patriots freshly from Iraqi killing fields attempt to level the playing field here at home.

That’s the kind of thing that I fully expect to happen if there is another terrorist attack on US soil.

"No links to terrorism"....they said this a few months ago when some Muslim men were found boarding school buses, acting weird and intimidating the kids. It was a southern state as I remember.

On that one they actually said that imtimidation of school kids had no precedent in terrorist activity. I called the FBI to remind them of the Beslan, Russia incident....and got another number to call somewhere in the bowels of Homeland Security - which took a message.

It would begin to resemble the kind of thing that has gone on in Iraq. I’d rather not see that happen. But our political and judicial classes will need to get on the same sheet and strongly so.

Yep they were just going gopher hunting.

There does have to be a deterrent. I wonder too whether activities would begin. It seems possible. And muslims would go nuts too. (Absolute chaos) The truth is the body count is probably in the muslims favor inside our nation for the time being, but may not be (for long) if the muslims attack the US a second or third, or fourth time. (Excuse me, I have lost count as to how many times the muslims have attacked the US. I know it is more than four. Possibly up to twenty or more times by now since the 80s)

Woofer, you might be interested in what I posted in #182 on this thread. The FBI has a history of denying “terrorist” activity - even when it is intuitively obvious!!

Tampa Tribune

Even if the explosives were a small quantity of fireworks, the general area of their apprehension and their ME background points clearly to at least a dry run to test explosive detection capabilities at certain facilities/locations in that area. CAIR showing up on the scene should be sufficient confirmation the pair's bad intentions.

But you may be right... some Judge might let them walk... God help this country!

FWIW I think these 2 Bozos modeled their mug shots after Tom DeLays expression when he was indicted on trumped up charges of money laundering in Texas.They are probably getting their instructions from CAIR and the “Flying Imams” so they can sue the the City of Goose Creek and Berkeley County Sheriff,s Department for False Arrest and Racial Profiling.

That's who I thought of immediately.

Why are we pandering to them with student visas, prayer rugs and prayer rooms in airports, their own schools, courts, mosques?

It's completely out-of-control ridiculous!

[nicmarlo]

why are we even allowing them into our country?

Because Bush & Co have thrown out the red carpet.

[yorkie]

I sorta remember the words, “If they’re not with us, they are against us”. And we are supposed to ‘guess’ which ones are for us and which ones are against us?

“I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people. If America shows uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch”.

It was in TAMPA, FLORIDA...home to USF where these students are enrolled.

Are the FBI morons, or do they figure the people are morons?

Yes.

It’s never terrorism. It’s just Muslim boys behaving badly. ;)
