An update on this story from the San Francisco Chronicle:
Miami -- Rafiq Abdus Sabir, a doctor, kept mostly to himself, neighbors remembered Monday. He lived in a gated South Florida community west of the exclusive town of Boca Raton with a woman and two children. The couple drove a black sport utility vehicle and white two-door sedan, and fixed up the garage of their rented villa to serve as the youngsters' rumpus room.
Dan Kozan, an advertising consultant, had one encounter with his neighbor across the street when he moved into Villa San Remo three years ago, but it was enough. Kozan, 51, said he asked Sabir to move the cars of people visiting so Kozan could back out of his driveway more easily. The doctor, he said, ignored him.
"I'm friendly with most of the neighbors around here," Kozan said. "Not him."
Early Saturday, the FBI moved in and arrested Sabir, 50, as an alleged participant in a terrorist plot. Along with Tarik Shah, 42, a self-described martial arts expert who had been arrested the day before in New York, Sabir was accused of conspiring to provide material support to al Qaeda.
According to federal prosecutors, Shah agreed to train Islamic holy warriors in hand-to-hand combat techniques, while Sabir agreed to treat their wounds at a military base in Saudi Arabia...
According to the federal complaint, the result of a two-year sting operation, Shah and Sabir, both U.S. citizens, took an oath of loyalty to al Qaeda, the shadowy Islamic terror network blamed for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon and some of the violence focusing on the U.S. occupation in Iraq.
Federal prosecutors said Shah had searched for locations suitable for secret weapons training, at one point inspecting a warehouse on Long Island, and agreed to provide a curriculum for hand-to-hand combat training.
The government said the men engaged in multiple recorded conversations with a confidential source and an FBI agent posing as an al Qaeda operative. During the conversations, Shah also described how he and Sabir tried to get to training camps in Afghanistan in 1998 and said they were a "package" deal, Kelley said....
If found guilty of conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization, each defendant faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and a fine of as much as $250,000.
Thanks for revealing the fifth columnists among us. Jihad Watch peforms a great service to this nation. Be alert as the Jihadis never rest. Michelle Malkin's idea of internment camps for Jihadis sounds better every day.

but didn't fullofshurki recently assure us that al Qaeda doesn't exist?
Muslim peer pressure to conform, comply, and assist extremism grows more likely everyday and non-Muslims are growing more uncomfortable with the presence of Muslims among them, not only because of the behavior of the extremists, but because the "moderates" seemingly are not actively and vehemently objecting and working against the violence and the economic and educational jihads.
Muslims will report the presence of terrorists if they really do not support terrorism.
They would be calling up the police to report their presence in the mosques, and in their communities, wherever and whenever they show up. If they did that no muslim terrorists could function in the country. These people rely on communities and on community support.
So, do muslims do this?
If the muslim communities are colluding with the terrorists, hiding them, giving them shelter and support, are they then aiding and abetting the commission of terrorism as well?
Sabir lived in a gated community...
Yes, now about 10% of people in the US live in such gated communities behind walls and fences.
No one seems to criticise this.
However when Israel builds a security fence to protect its children from being shot and blown up by a bunch of maniacs, she receives widespread condemnation.
I bet that Sabir would have been the sort to join in this condemnation.

Among other things,hte jurnalist says that muslims clerics are circulating cd`s among the mosques worshipers,with special instructions not to collaborate with the FBI investigators,under any circumstances.
I notice that the good "doctor" worked previously at the same hospital as Faroque Khan, Islamic Center of Long Island, Pres. of NY Islamic Society of North America. The hospital is Nassau Community.
Does anyone have any information as to the whereabouts of the scouted Long Island Warehouse?
