What is the FBI charging these guys with? Anyone know?

I hope for their sake, the FBI has something rock solid on this group and aren't just grabbing headline space on the anniversary of 9/11.

Supposedly they have quite a bit. They have been watching these guys for awhile, based on suspicious activity reported by their (Islamic) neighbors. In other words, this is an example of internal security working the way it's supposed to.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. So far, there doesn't seem to be any hard charges against them.

I really, really hope that they've got something concrete on these guys. Because if they don't, it's going to look really bad.

What is the FBI charging these guys with?

From the article:

charged Saturday with providing "material support" for Qaeda terrorists.

The five men charged Saturday were accused of undergoing weapons training at a Qaeda camp in Afghanistan in the spring and summer of 2001

Since OBL declared war on the U.S. in 1995, they could possibly be charged with treason somewhere down the road. Since that requires two witnesses, and these guys are unlikely to testify against each other, that may not be an option.
