Muslim in Virginia arrested for plotting attacks on DC Metro
FOX News (via The Weekly Standard) reports:
A Virginia man has been arrested for allegedly trying to help Al Qaeda plan multiple bombings around the nation's capital, according to U.S. officials.Truly atrocious, and it's just one of many troubling signs that the al Qaeda is infiltrating the USA.
Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, Va., was arrested today and charged with providing material support to terrorists and collecting information for a terrorist attack.
According to an indictment filed in U.S. Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, between April 2010 and Oct. 25, Ahmed repeatedly met with individuals he thought were affiliated with Al Qaeda to discuss "jihad."
On May 15, in a hotel room in Sterling, Va., Ahmed told one individual that he might be ready to travel overseas to conduct jihad, but only after he completed the Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in November, according to the indictment.
In addition, he agreed to watch and photograph Arlington Cemetery Metrorail station and a hotel in Washington, D.C., in order to obtain information about their security and busiest periods.
In fact, on July 7, he participated in surveillance and recording images of Arlington Cemetery Metrorail station.

Not again!! These wacko jihadis never stop. Their thirst for human blood is ghoulish and macabre.
When are obama and his friends going to wake up --if ever-- to the threat of Islamist fanaticism?
