Yesterday’s plane crash in NYC eclipsed almost all other news, including this from the Chicago Tribune Breaking News site
Cousins plead guilty in terror case
Two cousins from the Chicago area have pleaded guilty in Ohio to taking part in a plot to recruit and train terrorists to kill American soldiers.
Federal prosecutors say the men had been training and planning to go overseas so that they could kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Authorities say the men were recruited by three Toledo men organizing the plot. All three were convicted last summer and are awaiting sentencing.
Were these 5 men American citizens? The article doesn’t specify, but it sure would be interesting to know what their residence status was.
Khaleel Ahmed of Chicago and Zubair Ahmed of suburban North Chicago both pleaded guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.
Each faces a maximum of 15 years in prison.
Prosecutors say the two men received training in firearms and counter-surveillance so they could join the insurgency against U.S. troops.
You may think that this is a victory in the war against Jihad, but the truth is that the fact this case is in a civilian court at all is a check in the loss column.
Jihad and attempted Jihad should be considered acts of war. Military trial. Military justice.
