Family Reacts To Suspect Arrest In Terror Plot
Robin Rieger Reporting
(CBS 3) CHERRY HILL Family members were shocked when police burst into their Camden County home Monday night to arrest a man suspected in an alleged terror plot to attack Fort Dix.
Neighbors said authorities stormed a home on Tampa Avenue in Cherry Hill after the arrest of alleged terror plot suspect Mohamad Shnewer.
The home, which reportedly was the location of the Lamis Cab Company, was searched for over three hours. Israa Shnewer said her brother, who was born in Jordan, was working legally in the United States. “He just comes and sleeps here during the daytime. He goes back to work in the evening, stays all night as a cab driver and that’s it, that’s his life” said Israa Shnewer.
Israa said her father-in-law and brother-in-law were also briefly detained after authorities entered their Cherry Hill home. “The had the flashlights in our eyes and they were like searching like they don’t trust us,” he said. Sources said Mohamad Shnewer was arrested while inside his cab at Philadelphia International Airport.
Court documents said Shnewer, who lived in Pennsauken with his aunt, often went to a shooting range in the Poconos with at least 9 other suspects. His sister believes Shnewer was targeted because of his race and religion.
“The Poconos, it’s a vacation, they go there for vacation. That’s it, seriously,” Israa Shnewer said. “They go there, they shoot a little at the shooting range, they want to have fun. I mean, they’re guys.”
A FBI complaint states Shnewer told a cooperating witness they would need 6 to 7 men to kill approximately 100 soldiers at Fort Dix using rocket propelled grenades and various firearms.
They are always “shocked,” aren’t they?
“No, our adorable little Mohamad? Never.... he’s such a good boy....”
BARRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFF! [triple bagger]
That article reads like satire. If I didn’t know better, I would think this couldn’t possibly be a serious story. Sadly, I know better. What a sad, deluded family.
Now why would that be?
