Terror Arrests Baffle Steel Town
U.S.-Born Yemenis Gave Few Hints of Radicalism Before Trip to Pakistan

LACKAWANNA, N.Y., Sept. 16 -- It's the riddle for which few in this old company steel town have an answer: How did the six thoroughly American Arab boys wind up indicted as al Qaeda soldiers?

Yasein Taher was a [b]star soccer player[/b] at Lackawanna High School, and Sahim Alwan was a chatty fellow who talked of Allah but also made the girls laugh. Shafal Mosed watched over his younger brothers with a paternal eye. They had many friends, black and white friends, and Alwan and Yahya Goba counseled young children over meals of barbecued chicken wings.

Gee what swell guys.  They had busy social lives and still made time to visit Osama Bin Laden's terror camps in Pakistan.

Wake up America! These terrorists intend to use our system against us, arrested terrorists seem to easily find left-wing lawyers to argue for their immediate release. The deceitful al-qaeda seem to use anyone including Wives, children whomever as shield in their twisted plot to inflict damage to the freedoms of our country. I can believe that they are instructed to use our freedoms to " get free" if they are caught by law enforcement.  This is a very dangerous group of animals.
