FBI Arrests Ohio Man For Alleged Al-Qaeda Plot
CINCINNATI (Reuters) - An Ohio man suspected of joining al Qaeda and conspiring to bomb targets in Europe and the United States has been indicted and will appear in court on Thursday, the U.S. Justice Department said.
The FBI arrested Christopher Paul, a 43-year-old U.S. citizen, late on Wednesday after a four-year investigation of his alleged involvement with al Qaeda in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Germany, the Justice Department said in a statement.
Paul joined al-Qaeda in 1991, the indictment said. He then trained and supported German co-conspirators planning to bomb European tourist resorts frequented by American citizens, as well as U.S. embassies, consulates and military bases overseas, it said. He also targeted a person in the United States, it said.
This is happening more frequently here than what is reported in the national media. Most of the men arrested were found with 100's of prepaid cellphones. The same cellphones used to detonate roadside bombs. My guess is that most of these people are coming out of Dearborn-istan, Michigan.
