USF Students Charged With Having Explosive Near S.C. Navy Station

Tampa Tribune ^ | 8/06/07 | ADAM EMERSON

[VOA]

USF? Does Sami al Arian ring a bell?

Of course.

But with a guy that has a name that sounds like Megadeath and
taking 3 credits/semester...just sounded like too many rick-kid
slackers I've known!

I have posted earlier that it's time to prosecute them fully and
put them in the slammer.
Just to send a clear message to similar Islamics that they they've
got no future here and might as well go back home to their
lovely (/sarc) Islamic republic home.

They have since arrested and charged them. See: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1877062/posts

Somehow these two do not strike me as the types to celebrate the 4th of July. And keep them in their car all this time?

to say there is any link to terrorism," Kolko said.

They’re charged with possession of an incendiary device...probably homemade from the info in the linked article.

Civil engineer? It’s the mechanical engineers who build bombs. Civil engineers build “targets”.

And an Islamic community leader from Tampa, Fla., who’s been in touch with the families of the two detained college students, told The Post and Courier that Megahed and Mohamed are not troublemakers and that they a were simply on a weekend trip to North Carolina.

If I were going to or from North Carolina for the weekend and found myself on U.S. 176 I would consider myself lost. Not exactly the most direct route to anywhere in N.C.

Civil engineers build “targets”.

True, but they also know the weak points.

If I wanted to destroy civil infrastructure with relatively small explosive charges, I'd want a civil engineer working with me to point out the most advantageous locations to place charges.

BTW Al-Arian’s daughter, Laila Al-Arian, is a writer with The Nation and was co-author of the Nation’s most recent slam against our soldiers.

I was mistaken- they had smoke powder in plastic pipes.
