FBI probe uncovers a list of potential Southland targets and suggests a connection between prison groups and Islamic extremists.
A Pakistani national has been arrested by authorities in connection with a far-reaching investigation of a possible terrorist plot targeting any of nearly two dozen locations in Southern California, including National Guard recruitment centers, law enforcement sources said Monday.
The suspect, identified as Hamad Riaz Samana, 21, of Los Angeles, was quietly taken into custody last week by counter-terrorism officials as part of a probe that began with the arrest of two men in Torrance suspected of robbing gas stations. The investigation, sources said, has involved more than 100 FBI agents and Los Angeles police detectives as well as counter-terrorism specialists with other federal and local agencies.
While little is known publicly about the JIS, as intelligence officials call it, the group has been around for several years and has a presence at Folsom State Prison, where one of the three men in custody, Levar Haney Washington, 25, served time for assault and robbery, according to law enforcement sources.
The JIS is only one of the prison-based groups being investigated for possible ties to Islamic extremists.

I'm a little confused as to the wars you left out of your tag line. I know you're dying to tell me what the others were. I must have missed them since WWII ended 60 yrs ago.
Becoming..... they always have been. Malcolm X was converted in Prison.
Many of us, in fact millions who were in the so called Cold War against the USSR feel that was WWIII. It ended when Ronald Reagan forced the USSR into bankruptcy and out of existance.
At times the so called Cold War was not all that cold with Korea, the Cuban Crisis, Nam, Desert Storm I and many other rather hot situations.
WWIV began officially on 9/11/2001 and probably began when the Iranians took over our Embassy while Jimmy Carter fiddled, wore his sweater and was afraid of rabbits. Since then there has been a long list of violent attacks against American civilians and military by the Jihadists sponsored and coordinated by Iran.
Arrested in Torrance! That's where I live.
Where is the ACLU on this? I thought that proselytizing on GOVERNMENT FUNDED PROPERTY is against the separation of church and state principles?
The world has always been in bloody conflict.
I guess a lot of people are guilty of hyperbole.
Yes ole mighty potentate!
Of course it is a prime recruitment place. All that hate, enjoy killing, attacks and such would love to find a religion that makes their desires acceptable and even lauds their actions.
Gee a religion that allows killing others, allows terrorist activities, allows torture. All for religion and Allah. A perfect solution for them. And, they are resentful of the country that put them in prison.
Satan at work. As we are told - you will know them by their fruits. We have seen the fruits of that religion and it is not love for fellow man - it is torture, killing, terrorist attacks on innocents. All the work of evil and Satan.
....Prison ministeries......
You are right - I was just thinking the same thing.
Islam has been recruiting militant America hating black inmates for decades. They even managed to inculcate the rapist Mike Tyson while his ugly ass was in prison. Praise be to Allah!
or, as Mike sayth, "Praith be to Allah!
I was nearly run over by a tanker truck a few days ago on Interstate 5 in a suburb of Portland, Oregon.
It was straight out of a movie: A really ugly, old, unkempt, junker of a tanker truck, driving really recklessly... moved over into my lane suddenly w/o using his turn signal until he was on top of me. Fortunately, I had room to move to my right. I watched the guy - he then cut back in the other lane, again w/o using his turn signal until the last second, and he cut in right behind another big rig. Right behind = less than ONE CAR LENGTH, and we were going 60 mph. He proceeded to drive aggressively - somewhere between "rudely" and "recklessly" - up the freeway towards downtown Portland as I took my exit.
I hated to be paranoid, but I couldn't help thinking about big-rig related terrorism... practicing, etc.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any identifying info off the truck because, like I said, it was an old, unkempt piece of junk and I only had about a mile before my exit. I would have called the Police, but w/o any identifying info, I didn't think it would do any good to report it. In retrospect, I should have made the call and let the Police decide. My error.
It wasn't a fuel tanker, it looked more like a tar tanker or something because there were black liquid spills all over the tanker (poor maintenance, shoddy cleanup, etc.).
Oh oh. This could be a problem. The ACLU will now this as an argument against profiling middle age Mideasterner men as terrorists.
I wish that there were more people who would acknowledge the religion of Islam for what it is. Just because they use the word God does not make them peaceful and loving. They are true wolves in sheep's clothing and much of their wool is being used to cover many eyes in this country. Tis a shame, a real shame.
and for drug thugs,skinheads or any number of other social clubs.
Then talk to the CIA, they are the ones who classified the cold war as WWIII.
Follow the money. Always follow the money.
WWIII doesn't exist, and pray that it never does.
Anyone who really thinks there has been one doesn't know much about the one that ended 60 years ago on Monday.
PING big time serious trouble brewing !
They weren't being recruited to be the planners but the foot soldiers. That is something that they are very capable at.
Well if it's any comfort, the ACLU will be on their list too. Maybe near the bottom for a while. but all of those leftie so-called "Jewish" lawyers at the ACLU will not survive the JIHAD. They better wake up and fast. They will get a turn on this dance floor.
