Are S.C. Pipe Bomb 'Suspects' Now Considered Alleged Terrorists?
Dan Riehl followed up on a post by Debbie Schlussel and has edited down a video news report from Tampa's Channel 10 to the most pertinent excerpts (video below).
Dan offers additional commentary that leads one to believe that there's likely to be much more to learn about this story and that the suspects and one or more of their "friends" just might be interested in something much more violent than shooting off firecrackers. This appears to be the view of the prosecutor in the case":
When 24-year-old Ahmed Mohamed and 21-year-old Yousef Megahed appeared in court, there was no question in the prosecutor's mind what this was all about. She says Mohamed was in possession of pipe bombs and materials that could have been made to make more bombs.Meanwhile, I share Dan's caution in labeling this terrorism at this point.
Dan has more background on the case - here
BTW, I can't help but wonder about all the late nights, the coming and going, deliveries, oxygen tanks, and a roommate from Mauritania who moved here from Canada recently that's now left (fled?) the country!.
