CLEVELAND
A federal grand jury has indicted three Ohio men on charges of planning attacks on U.S. military personnel in Iraq, according to an indictment.
The three men, who all lived in Toledo within the last year, were arrested over the weekend, said Assistant U.S. Attorney David Bauer in Toledo. The indictment was unsealed Monday.
They were to be arraigned in federal courts in Cleveland and Toledo on Tuesday afternoon.
The suspects recruited others to train for a violent holy war against the United States and its allies in Iraq, the indictment said. The group traveled together to a shooting range to practice shooting guns and studied how to make explosives, the indictment said.
Lutherans?
Perhaps the trial should be moved to a conservative part of Texas.
"Lutherans?"
Caught 'em red-handed with the hotdish and jello salad.
It's crazies like this that give the peaceful religion of Izlam a bad name........../sarc
Each one of the individuals has been charged with:
18:956(a)(1) CONSPIRACY TO KILL, KIDNAP, MAIM OR INJURE PERSONS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES
18:2339A CONSPIRING TO PROVIDE MATERIAL SUPPORT TO TERRORISTS
18:842(p)(2)(A) DISTRIBUTING INFORMATION REGARDING EXPLOSIVES
18:871 MAKING THREATS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I have pulled the indictments by the grand jury if someone wants to post on FR (no space on work 'stuff to do this, or else I would). Pretty scary reading what these idiots were trying to do. Freepmail me if interested.
I'm sure Ramsey Clark is already on his way to Toledo.

But what about their rights ? Isn't treason in the bill of rights ? Or is that for the media only ?
KGG, go to the link in #2 post. Much better info there.
Thank you!
"The indictment alleges that one of the men, Mohammad Zaki Amawi, twice threatened to kill or inflict bodily harm against President Bush while speaking with others.
Prosecutors say the plot began in November 2004.
Amawi is a citizen of Jordan and the U.S. The others are Marwan Othman El-Hindi, a U.S. citizen born in Jordan; and Wassim I. Mazloum, who came to the U.S. from Lebanon in 2000. Mazloum operated a car business in Toledo with his brother."

I'm going to put my money on Amawi for the Cleveland indictment.
Thanks!
Just so you all know....Democratic strategist on Fox news, right now, giving NO credit to the Bush admin. for this development, but instead, questioning the TIMING of this today....to distract from the Ports?
BTTT!
"It wouldn't be a surprise if Paul Hackett was one of these three."
That's funny!!
I would think this should be in Breaking News. Fox and the others keep leading with it, alerting about it, and promising to carry Alberto Gonzalez's presser live. I heard part of the plot involved assassinatig the President, as well as waging jihad in Iraq. If this isn't "breaking", what is?
Here's the indictment: http://www.toledo11.com/documents/indictment.pdf
