Two Ohio Men Held On Terror Charges

Reports Fox News:

Two men were charged Wednesday with money laundering in support of terrorism after authorities said they found airplane passenger lists and information on airport security checkpoints in their car.              

Deputies stopped Osama Sabhi Abulhassan, 20, and Ali Houssaiky, 20, both of Dearborn, Mich., on a traffic violation Tuesday. They found the flight documents along with $11,000 cash and 12 phones in the car, said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.         

Prosecutor Susan Vessels declined to say how the phones, cash or flight information involved terrorism.         

Abulhassan and Houssaiky admitted buying about 600 phones in recent months at stores in southeast Ohio, said sheriff's Maj. John Winstanley. The men said they sold the phones to someone in Dearborn, a Detroit suburb.         

Investigators going through the car after the pair were pulled over in Marietta, about 90 miles southeast of Columbus, also found a map that showed locations of Wal-Mart stores from Ohio through Kentucky, Tennessee and into North and South Carolina, Vessels said.

First of all, I'd like to commend the police who had the bravery to accuse to Arab men of terror related activities; something that must be very difficult in America's stiflingly politically correct atmosphere.

Also, the guy's name was "Osama?" Come on! Is that a joke?

You'll notice the men sold hundreds of cell phones to someone in Dearborn, MI, which the article fails to mention has one of America's largest populations of Muslims.

Looks like a close call, and very chilling given what's happening in the UK right now (which I'm about to post on).
