Update: Michelle has a link to the indictment.
via Michelle Malkin: remember that Mohamed hasn't been in the US very long - since January, I believe. I'm adding some additional info below. Mohammed was also brought into the mix by the as yet un-identified individual said to have returned to Canada right after the initial arrest. CBS reports he was teaching the use of explosives for "violent reasons."
As I pointed out, as opposed to ABC's The Blotter's reporting, the material they were said to have been transporting was potassium chlorate - said to be too unstable for model rocketry.
See here here and scroll here for more on the case.
Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed, 24, an engineering graduate student and teaching assistant at the Tampa-based university, faces terrorism charges for teaching and demonstrating how to use the explosives.
He and Youssef Samir Megahed, 21, an engineering student, were stopped for speeding in Goose Creek, S.C., on Aug. 4, where they have been held on state charges.
Remember WISE as linked to Sami al-Arian? Well, the landlord of one of the homes searched in this investigation is Noor Salhab. He headed WISE Investments Reality, Inc. see here - but dissolved it ten days after 9/11. And if you search the Florida Sec. of State's website, you'll find he has a host of companies linked to his name. PAL real estate may take on a different meaning after all this, hard to say. He appears to like petroleum transport, too:
