The two Middle East-born men held in Berkeley County after explosive devices were found in their car have been charged with one count a piece of possession of an incendiary device. Police denied that the two were pulled over because they were of Arabian decent, stating that they acted suspiciously when pulled over for speeding on Hwy. 176 in Goose Creek.
Both now living in Tampa, Fla., Yousef Samir Megahed, 21, originally from Egypt, and Ahmed Abda Sherf Mohamed, 24, originally from Kuwait, were going at least 15 miles over the posted speed limit when pulled over, according to the Sheriffs Office. When approaching the vehicle, the officer noticed the men closing a laptop computer and stowing it on the backseat. Responses to questions about where the men were going and where they were coming from were erratic, leading the officer to ask if he could search the vehicle.
The men stated they had fireworks in the trunk and that sent off red flags. Officials did not have further details about the explosives in the car, but noted that they looked homemade. Lab tests on the are expected to be completed later today. The FBI has taken over the investigation.

It would be interesting to do forensic analysis on that notebook to see if something has been recently deleted/eradicated. Hopefully it is on it’s way to the NSA even as we speak.
I wonder what their immigration status is.
But did they have a “War on Terror” bumper sticker?

SO, basically, they shut down a mile of Rt 176 in both directions for 9 hours for firecrackers.
Fireworks? LOL Those are kinda, sorta, big fireworks!
The younger one is a permanent legal resident and his family also lives in the Tampa area. I believe the older one is here on a student visa.

Awesome they caught them. Expect the American Commie Lawyers Union to defend their “rights” that somehow got violated.
Standby, HSA will probably say they were just flares.
