'Jihadi' Images, Detonator Video Found ( Florida students in South Carolina )
The Tampa Tribune ^ | Sep 15, 2007 | Elaine Silvestrini

Posted on 09/17/2007 8:50:04 PM PDT by george76

A laptop computer deputies found when they pulled over two University of South Florida students in South Carolina contained a video made by one of the men showing how to use a toy to detonate a bomb remotely, a federal prosecutor said Friday.

On that video, the student, Ahmed Mohamed, said the detonator could "save one who wants to be a martyr for another day, another battle," ...

The prosecutor said that video was posted by Mohamed on YouTube...

Also on the laptop were "jihadi" images and footage of rockets used by Hamas...

Hoffer disclosed the computer evidence Friday as he laid out the prosecution's case that Megahed should be denied bail because he is a danger to the community and a flight risk.

Both defendants are Egyptian citizens. Megahed is a legal, permanent resident of the Unites States, and Mohamed is here on a student visa.

Hoffer said that when deputies in South Carolina pulled the pair over for speeding on Aug. 4, they saw Megahed, who was the passenger, trying to put away the laptop computer that belonged to Mohamed. When investigators analyzed the computer, they found that the last-viewed images showed Qassam rockets, which are used by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad....

In the trunk, deputies found four small sections of PVC pipe, at least three of which were stuffed with a "potassium nitrate explosive mixture" of potassium nitrate, Karo syrup and kitty litter...

"Obviously, that raised the hackles of law enforcement in South Carolina," Hoffer said. "That's why we're here."

Both men are charged with transporting explosives without a permit, relating to the stuffed PVC pipes deputies have described as pipe bombs.

Just kids with firecrackers.

Yeah, right.

Just an accidental coincidence they are Muslim males, age 18-40.
(I can’t remember the exact age-range from that “test” about “what
sort of people are terrorists”)

Kitty litter? I knew my kittie was up to something!
Is Karo syrup an active agent?

Much more of this nonsense and those who were in fear of the “perfect day” scenario are going to be demanding local officials allow armed dads to patrol the schools.

In a secretly recorded conversation between Megahed and Mohamed while they were in the back of a patrol car during their arrest, Hoffer said Megahed “asked Mr. Mohamed pointedly, ‘What did you tell them about the gas canister?’”

Hoffer also told the judge that a laptop computer found inside the car had been used to visit Web sites about “rifles, weaponry, about the conflict in the Middle East, jihadists.”

He said the last video viewed was of a rocket being fired, similar to “part of jihad armory ... weapons used in the Middle East.”

Another video, which Mohamed has acknowledged he made, shows “how to turn a radio controlled car into a detonator that could be used for an explosive,”

the kitty litter served as a binder to keep the substance from coming out of the pipes...

That and the kitty litter must be because the potassium nitrate is the oxidizer. Right? I think they are leaving something out. I bet the Karo is the binding agent and they can wet the kitty litter to plug the ends. Turns into a hard clay.

“Is Karo syrup an active agent?”

IIRC it is a binder for the other granular or powdered ingredients. At least that is what hezballah uses syrup for in it’s Quassam (?) rockets.

Stick them in a bomb proof room and detontate their materials. No cost to the taxpayer and they get 72 virgins each. Nice and swift retribution.

Hoffer said that in the video, Mohamed makes a statement about the toy car being similar to a boat. The federal prosecutor noted that when investigators searched the Megahed home with the family's permission, they found a remote-controlled boat.

Megahed's South Carolina attorney has said the boat was a "therapeutic device" for to the defendant's 10-year-old brother, who has Down syndrome.

I can see it now. Megahed and Mohamed strap a "therapeutic device" suicide belt on the Down syndrome brother and then detonate it remotely!

Hypocrites!

Reminds me of "Sharia Compliant Finance." The deal here is that the Grand Poobah prohibits charging interest. So a whole industry has sprung up to engineer interest payments but call them lease purchases and such; and to have the whole ordeal "blessed" by cleric.

Hypocrites!

Needless to say, Wall Street is all over it.

Megahed and Mohamed should get a Free Trip to the Jihadi Tropical Paradise.

Additionally, Deport their family back to their hell hole of birth. GITMO is too good for these scum.

It didn't take the media and the FBI even 2 hours to softsell the danger posed that day...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said there was “no immediate threat” after a portion of St. James Avenue, U.S. Highway 176, in Goose Creek was shut down for hours Saturday evening.
