"Man held in Detroit as terrorism suspect"

"Somali immigrant is in high-security case"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Federal authorities are detaining a Somali immigrant who is suspected of plotting to carry out a terrorist attack during the recent holiday season, officials confirmed this week.

The man appeared Wednesday at a closed hearing marked by extraordinary security in Detroit's federal immigration court.

He was arrested in early December at his home in Columbus, Ohio, and was a factor in the government's decision to raise the national alert level to orange, or high, that month, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are barred from discussing cases involving high national security issues."

Hmmm. I wonder who this Ohio guy is? Another Somali, a guy named Mohammed A. Warsame was arrested in December 2003. He's said to be a material witness in a terrorism investigation. Some reports say he had personal contact with bin Laden, attended training camps and so forth.

But the reports I saw did not refer to him residing in Ohio- they referred to him as Canadian and said he lived in Minnesota.
