Two Egyptian students at the University of South Florida were indicted Friday for carrying explosive materials across states lines and one of them was charged with teaching the other how to use them for violent reasons.

Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed, 24, an engineering graduate student and teaching assistant at the Tampa-based university, faces terrorism charges for teaching and demonstrating how to use the explosives.

He and Youssef Samir Megahed, 21, an engineering student, were stopped for speeding in Goose Creek, S.C., on Aug. 4, where they have been held on state charges.

The two men were stopped with pipe bombs in their car near a Navy base in South Carolina where enemy combatants have been held. They were held on state charges while the FBI continued to investigate whether there was a terrorism link.

Goose Creek, eh? That is the location of the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command and two prototype training nuclear reactors (moored training ships).

I spent a year there. I’m not going to talk in detail about security concerns, but I hope they are a little more attentive to security on the lower base than when I was stationed there.

Goose Creek also had the worst drivers I have ever met in my life. Car insurance rates were insane!

The FBI still claims they see no terrorists, even in this case.

But they still believe to this day Richard Jewell was a ‘domestic terrorist’.

And some wonder why I say the FBI is the single most dangerous Federal institution to ‘We the People’.....

What is up with the turd eating grins on these bastards faces?

They’re thinking of all the virgins that await them.

Give them due process and then hang them if they are found guilty. Quit coddling the hordes of those who seek to infiltrate and then destroy our way of life.

What is the deal with USF? First Sami now these two?

And all the media talks about is Larry Craig.

[NormsRevenge]

How is Sami these days?

Those who support the efforts to wage Jihad on our shores and do so openly and brazenly need to be deported and imprisoned in their countries of origin doing hard time.

Thanks for that link. Very informative.

Better than Fox News!

[Lijahsbubbe]

The article describes them as students. Pathetic. Surprised they didn’t throw in “young men” too.

Can’t be Lutherans...they wouldn’t have been speeding!

[jveritas]

The islamic terrorists are living among us, please be very vigilant everyone.

[Lijahsbubbe]

The islamic terrorists are living among us,

No it’s not.

Their religion teaches them they are Allah’s chosen people and that the laws of man, (and nature) do not have to be obeyed.

They take their religion fervently and become arrogant beyond belief.

Then their arrogance get’s them detected and sometimes, arrested.

It is not amazing, it is simple cause and effect at work.

Right, the "explosives" were just ripe lutefisk.

We should round up all Arab and other Muslim males in this country (for starters) and vet them individually for terrorist ties.
