I don't see anything odd about the location. This morning's Wall Street Journal had a long article on militant Muslims in jail and the heavy recruiting that goes on (to say nothing of the funding from the Saudi Government). Here's a quote:

"The search [of the home of an Iraqi Islamic school director] was part of a broad investigation into Islamic organizations and charities in Virginia, suspected by federal agents of helpting to move money to foreign terrorist groups, including Hamas and Al Qaeda."

In other words, there's a lot of potentially terrorist groups and activity in Virginia. I think there's also an al Fuqra community down there. There's no reason this guy with the Hispanic surname couldn't have been a Jose Padilla-type recruit to some terrorist organization.

Now that you mention it, there is a compound of them that were chased out of CA in a rural VA area. I can't think of the location exactly, but I think it's in the south central area.
