NEWARK Two New Jersey men intent on killing American troops were arrested Saturday as they boarded flights to link up with a virulent jihadist group in Somalia, authorities said.
The men, both North Jersey residents, were charged with conspiring to commit an act of international terrorism through a group tied to Osama bin Ladens al Qaeda network, according to officials familiar with the details of the arrests.
Mohamed Hamoud Alessa, 20, of North Bergen, and Carlos Eduardo Almonte, 26, of Elmwood Park were apprehended at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens before they could board separate flights to Egypt, where they were to start journeys to Somalia. The men were arrested by teams of state and federal law-enforcement agents who have been investigating the pair since October 2006, according to the officials, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the operation publicly.
"Two individuals were arrested at JFK in connection with an ongoing investigation. At this time, we can provide no further details because the investigation is ongoing. The arrests do not relate to an immediate threat," said Jose Lozano, a spokesman for the state Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.
Shortly after 10:30 p.m., FBI agents sealed off Alessas street in North Bergen. The local police department would say only that an investigation was in progress. FBI agents, North Bergen police and the New York Police Department descended on the home on 81st Street as neighbors looked on. According to property records, Alessas parents, Mahmoud and Nadia Alessa, rented the top floor of their house amid a quiet row of middle-class homes. As agents poured in, lights went on throughout the house.
Neither Alessa nor Almonte is married. Both are American citizens, said the anonymous officials.

Barack OBAMA, during his Cairo speech, said: I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America s story.
AN AMERICAN CITIZENS RESPONSE:
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence ?
Bill of Rights?
Didnt think so.
Did Muslims fight for this countrys freedom from England ? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as pug nosed slaves. Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your familys rich Islamic heritage, doesnt it Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this countrys Womans Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the hajib or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for womens rights, arent they?
Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazis in killing Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they werent flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very moderate Muslims whos asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the rich heritage Muslims have here in America .
Oh, Im sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim.
And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .
That, Mr. Obama is the Muslim heritage in America .
Long a bastion of Catholicism, southern Mexico is quickly turning into a battleground for soul-savers. Islam, too, is gaining a foothold and the indigenous Mayans are converting by the hundreds. The Mexican government is worried about a culture clash in their own backyard....

but lets just let them all in and hug that all out of’em
Thomas Jefferson had to address the muslims in his time, they were the pirates that intercepted supplies from ships coming in
But if they were staffers for the equally dangerous communist front “Congressional Progressive Caucus”, they would be sipping lattes at the Admirals Club on the tax payers dime.
Obviously this is our fault. We as American citizens haven't worked hard enough to convey the One’s words to the world.
I hereby rededicate myself to spreading the Word of the One... and to exposing and reporting class enemies and counterrevolutionaries wherever they're found, especially in my immediate family.
The Astor family knows about drug profits.
Saving it for all those virgins. Them jihad honeys.
After they put a burka on every women's head and cut off every Christian mans head, it will be very peaceful.
Am I mistaken or is this a Hispanic name?
And they still search Grandpa and grandma...
“And they still search Grandpa and grandma...”
That is why I no longer fly.
Just so, per an article this morning: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2528816/posts
That is quite a statement. Show me where you obtained that information.
“Thomas Jefferson had to address the muslims in his time, they were the pirates that intercepted supplies from ships coming in”
Zero was right! They are part of our history!
Your comment would be funnier if it wasn't true...
That kind of pretty much puts it all into context doesn’t it.
“Muslims have been down in Southern Mexico recruiting for a long time too since 9-11 and handing out money left and right.” ............................... Kill for God, it pays.
