Two homegrown terrorists - allegedly recruited by Al Qaeda and carrying US passports - are believed to be behind the car bomb plot planned for Washington or New York on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, authorities said.

Cops in the city and Long Island put out a related alert late last night for a stolen white "Budget Rental" van with the Oklahoma tag 2LE922.

It’s those damn homegrown Amish terrorists again.
Anyone really surprised at what the suspect’s background is?
Anyone?
Can we start doing real profiling instead of fondling grandma at the airport? Or molesting kids at the airport while letting the burkas and young Jude’s pass through UNMOLESTED? Seriously.
Still can’t get over the ironic name. “Jude Mohammed.” Sounds like a person who must be really confused and deeply conflicted.

It included only a vague physical description of the two men — one described as 5 feet tall, the other 5-foot-8 — and a first name for one, Suliman, that is common in the Middle East. The tipster also described a third conspirator, but he appeared to have traveled to Europe.

They likely have a new tag number.
Oklahoma?
Again?
Where the wind sweeps gently down the plain?
That’s what I thought. lol
Peter or Mark Mohammad would be ironic. Judas? Not so much.
The minute that hit the presses, the van would have been dumped or had new tags. If we know the guys and that they have their passports on them then they should be able to be found quickly. What I want to know is if we know so much about them then why weren’t they stopped before? Why aren’t all those cells that have been around for a decade or more not been raided and shut down? Forget “intelligence gathering” because much more bad stuff is being plotted and more recruits than should have been if they’d been shut down long ago.
