Just your average “All-American” terror suspects

Keeping on top of the Dearborn terror arrests…A second charge was added for the two young Muslim men arrested Wednesday in connection with suspected terrorist activity:

A second charged was added for the two Dearborn men who were arrested in Ohio and charged money laundering to support terrorism. Thursday, prosecutors charged 20-year-old Ali Houssaiky and 20-year-old Osma Sabhi Abulhassan with soliciting or providing support for an act of terrorism. Police said the men initially lied, but then under interrogation admitted to buying 600 untraceable cell phones. Authorities are concerned that if shipped to the Middle East, the chips from the phones may be used to remotely detonate car bombs.

Reuters reports more specifically that the two are charged with laundering money for Hizballah.

WXYZ reported: “According to Ali’s brother, Mohamad Houssaiky, the car the two men were in belongs to Ali’s mother who works for Aircraft Service International Group at Metro Airport and the paper work reportedly belonged to her. She was training so she had to do a training list with the bookings and checkings for passengers, he said.”

She worked for Metro Airport? Okay.

Debbie Schlussel reminds us that “Back in 2001, members of the Detroit Terror Cell worked for SkyChef at Detroit Metro Airport, with full access to planes.”

This tv report notes that the Dearborn duo had a map of every Wal-Mart from Ohio to North Carolina to aid them in their tracphone shopping spree. The Michigan-North Carolina terror connection should sound familiar. Also note how incurious and nonchalant one of the suspect’s sisters is in the linked tv report when asked what the 600 tracphones her brother bought were being used for and by whom.

Update: Here’s an e-mail that just came in (my comments in bold):

You are soo wrong about those kids, especially Osama Abulhassan. Osama’s brother is an attorney and Osama is a junior in college who plans on becoming a lawyer. [Lemme guess--for CAIR.] From what I’ve heard, the phones sell for a lot of money overseas because they are harder to get there and the maps were for finding stores to buy them at. [Genius!] These kids are not terrorists [I know, they're all-American], moreover, I don’t appreciate, and neither does any other Dearborn resident for that matter, your site categorizing Dearborn as Dearbornistan. [And I don't appreciate, and neither does any upstanding American who knows how many American lives have been cut short by Hezbollah thugs, Dearbornistan's support for our enemies.] You are ignorant to the facts. Best of luck in life with that small town college degree. [I'll manage.]
