More Curious Details Emerge In SC Case

Update: According to video top right here, the Feds have moved to put a hold on the SC suspects as regards their immigration status, which means even if they do make bond they would be transferred to Federal Prison instead of being released. Also, even if cleared of any current charges, they could be deported depending on the outcome of that process. Also court documents specifically state "several pipe bombs" were in the trunk of their vehicle.

While the FBI has now seized home computers and Wal-Mart security tape in the investigation into Yousseff Samir Megahed and Ahmed Abda Mohamed h/t Rusty, it seems one as yet unidentified roommate left the country on Monday, after the investigation had begun. It's unclear if the FBI has been able to identify the individual, or if they even want to talk to him in the case. I suspect they may, as he seems pivotal given this latest report.

Ishtay, who rents a Temple Terrace house and works at Boston Market, said he met Mohamed and Megahed through a roommate. He said he didn't know the roommate's last name, but he was from Mauritania.

Another of Ishtay's roommates, Ghassan Salhab, 27, said the man from Mauritania moved here from Canada recently and returned there Monday.

Meanwhile, another spokesperson has emerged for the boys. M. Nachabe, who would appear to be Mahmood Nachabe. In perhaps an unfortunate coincidence, Nachabe has the distinction of being listed in the same Engineering College Faculty catalog as the now infamous Sami al-Arian.

“So I think Bush and Dr. Rice live in make believe land.”

So do I!

[livius]

I’d want them deported immediately because (a) they would be tried, sentenced and ultimately deported anyway (but at much greater expense) and (b) they’ll get back in any case, probably through Canada, but we will have paid much more to get rid of them if we try them than if we simply deport them. Plus, there’s always the possibility that some idiot judge will decide they’re just poor, innocent little sweeties being picked upon by the EEEVIL BUSH and CHENEY, and release them right back to Tampa.

I wondered that as well. Where they were is off the beaten track to get them to NC beaches? And I wonder if they had reservations somewhere in NC?

...it seems one as yet unidentified roommate left the country on
Monday, after the investigation had begun.

Ah, memories of the immediate days after 9-11-2001 on the
University of Missouri (Columbia) campus...
and the fifty or so "male students of Middle Eastern" that "disappeared".

(and even with that, we've had one Islamic "charity" shut down and
the arrest of a couple of suspected terrorist fellow-travelers)

I'm not saying that's the case here, but it sure does sound familiar.

[Rushmore Rocks]

Sami al-Arian connection. Surprise, surprise.

[livius]

We release them anyway. I was at a trial where the Pakistani defendant got 10 years for money laundering (he had turned state’s evidence and got a plea bargain), followed by deportation. The standard practice is to have them serve a sentence and then deport them.

Unless you can be sure they’ll get a really, really long sentence, I think it’s better to just get them out of the country, since it’s getting harder and harder to get a conviction or really punish them in any way.

[LilAngel]

Yeah, unfortunately we sometimes must compromise. If I had my druthers, we’d exterminate the bug and be done with it.

Thanks for the ping, RR.

You’re welcome.

[MizSterious]

Similarities here to the OU bombing case. There was a roommate in that one, too, who hadn’t YET bugged out, but was on his way with a 1-way ticket to a ME country. But of course, that one “wasn’t terrorism” either, according to authorities.

[null and void]

No mention of the suspects' affiliation with TROP anywhere in the MSM.

Only peripherally, CAIR chimed in, that's a strong indicator that these are members of the mohammad-damned faith...

[MizSterious]

And, it’s sometimes nice to watch them and see who they contact once they’re out of here.

[null and void]

Boys?

Yutes was taken...

[livius]

Absolutely. I’m sure we’ve got our eyes on a number who, even as we speak, are trying to contact the mother ship...

[SteamShovel]

OK show of hands here - how many people that had roommates in their lifetimes did not know there name?

I had a roommate in college that as I sit here now, I can't remember his name.

But that was 22 years ago...and I did know his name at the time.

[VOA]

OK show of hands here - how many people that had roommates
in their lifetimes did not know there name?

Not me.

I suspect the number of people that wish they could FORGET the
name of some bad roommate
exceeds the number that had a "roommate without a name" by about
an order of magnitude.

“Boys?”

These guys are the same age as our soldiers on the battle field. When is the media going to realize that we are at war and that some of the enemy are on our soil now, plotting to kill us?

[garjog]

“some idiot judge will decide they’re just poor, innocent little sweeties being picked upon by the EEEVIL BUSH and CHENEY, and release them right back to Tampa.”

And soon begin a national speaking tour — making thousands of dollars per appearance — denouncing how racist and anti-Muslim our nation is. Perhaps marketing a new line of green clothing or brand of fireworks.

[estrogen]

"Its not just Rice and Bush....the whole country is suffering from a “self-destructive’syndrome. We are slowly committing National Suicide and no one seems to give a damn. Give me another George S. Patton, a real leader who’’ll kick some ass. Meanwhile, we dither."

AMEN, AMEN AMEN
