GOOSE CREEK — Ingredients necessary to make pipe bombs were found Saturday in the trunk of a car being driven by two Florida college students, according to court documents.
Now the men will have to post a combined $800,000 in bond to get out of jail, a circuit judge decided this afternoon.
Youseff Megahed, 21, and Ahmed Mohamed, 24, have been charged with possession of an incendiary device, Berkeley County Sheriff Wayne DeWitt announced today. If convicted of the charges, the men could face between 2 to 15 years in prison.
Mohamed’s bond was set at $500,000 while Megahead’s was set at $300,000....
...“At this point, it is too early in the investigation to say there is any link to terrorism,” Kolko said.
News that explosives were found Saturday shocked residents in Goose Creek, home to the Naval Weapons Station, which houses the U.S. Naval Consolidated Brig, a military prison where enemy combatants have been held.

And he set bail?
Isn't that an old '80's heavy metal band name?
Yeah, I thought the “FLA college student” bit was beyond lame - and where’s DHS? They’ve already got a bail CAIR could help them meet.
[sigh] very poor reporting.
Most kitchens, garages and even cars have the parts for a pipe bomb.

This article doesn’t say very much, really. You would think that it takes a significant find to convince a judge to impose a half million dollar bail, but the memory of Mike Nifong is still fresh.
Many things can be used to make an incendiary device. This includes gasoline, paint, smokeless powder, and many common household items. Match heads can be used to make a bomb.
So what did they have that was deserving of this bail? Until we’re told, I have to adopt a wait and see attitude.
These two clowns were from USF Tampa where IIRC, a muzzie prof spent years spewing hate and calls to jihad. Bill OReilly kept busting the prof nightly on his show and said prof was IIRC eventually fired or perhaps sent home.
Sounds like the MO of the Muzzie doctors from Egypt who tried to blow up Glasgow...where the one guy torched himself. Hope his 72 virgins like their meat well done—a little charred around the edges.
“Both of them are really naïve kids,” Bedier said.
yea,sure.
Seems to be a lot of really naïve muslim kids getting arrested lately.
I hate seeing these would-be terrorists referred to as, “students”. Their educational status is immaterial and only serves as an attempt to add a layer of pseudo-respectability.
“They are naive kids.”
“They had (PIPE BOMBS??) in their cars left over from the 4th of July.”
OH BET ME.

Combined 800K bail. Stupid headline writers.
Those are Norwegian names, right? Darn Lutheran separatists...
I think the band was called “MegaDeath” or something like that ...
