South Carolina Terror

Not Ms. Teen South Carolina -- which is terror of another sort -- but remember this story from a month ago.

Strange, strange contradictions, as I remember the locals saying they definitely had explosive devices, the FBI claiming that it was fireworks, and the detonation of said evidence.

Then the story went right away.

Could the local law man have disrupted a terrorist plot by federal agents?

This further "report" also casts doubts upon what happened that hot August night a month ago.

This really starts to stink like ALL the OTHER FRAME-UP, "TERRORIST" PLOTS -- usually facilitated by some puke FBI informer!


"Fla. students face charges of transporting explosives; Pair stopped for speeding in South Carolina" by Lara Jakes Jordan/Associated Press September 1, 2007

WASHINGTON - Two Egyptian students at the University of South Florida were indicted yesterday on charges of carrying explosive materials across state lines, and one was accused of teaching the other how to use them for violent reasons.

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 Aug. 4 in Goose Creek, S.C., where they have been held on state charges.

[This is already reeking! Giving up nice lives and careers?

And if they are guilty of all this, why bring attention to yourselves by speeding?

Just doesn't make sense.]


The two men were stopped with pipe bombs in their car near a Navy base in South Carolina where enemy combatants have been held. They were held on state charges while the FBI continued to investigate whether there was a terrorism link.

Mohamed was charged with distributing information relating to explosives, destructive devices, and weapons of mass destruction, which is a terrorism-related statute, a Justice Department official said. The crime carries a maximum of 20 years in prison.

He and Megahed face charges of transporting explosives in interstate commerce without permits, which carries a 10-year prison penalty. Their defense lawyer, Andy Savage, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

The indictment was handed up in Tampa.

In South Carolina, where Mohamed and Megahed have been held in the Berkeley County jail, US Attorney Reginald I. Lloyd praised state and federal authorities for cooperating in the four-week investigation that initially did not look like a terrorism case.

Lloyd, in a statement: "The arresting deputy's vigilance and the immediate response of our local investigators and prosecutors are highly commendable."

Since the Aug. 4 arrest, authorities sought to determine whether Mohamed and Megahed were fledgling terrorists or merely college students headed to the beach with devices made from fireworks they bought at Wal-Mart in their car, as they said. The local sheriff in South Carolina said the explosives were "other than fireworks."

[But the FBI said they were fireworks, too!! I watched C(IA)NN report it!!

So what gives with this "case?" Just like all the other frauds, isn't it?]


The charges follow several searches in Tampa, including of a storage facility and a park where the explosives might have been tested, authorities said.

Mohamed and Megahed are in the country on student visas, officials said."

[This case just stinks on its face, folks!]
