Mohamed, in over his Megahed
They just had fireworks. They were just "naive kids," said Ahmed "Deep Doudou" Bedier. They were just guilty of DWM, Driving While Muslim, right?
Wrong.
"Former USF Student Agrees To Plead Guilty To Aiding Terrorists," by Elaine Silvestrini for The Tampa Tribune, June 13 (thanks to all who sent this in):
TAMPA – Former University of South Florida student Ahmed Mohamed has agreed to plead guilty to providing material support to terrorists, according to a signed 12-page plea agreement entered onto the docket in U.S. District Court.Mohamed, an Egyptian citizen, was arrested, along with another student, Youssef Megahed, in North Carolina in August after deputies said they found explosive materials in their trunk.
Authorities charged Mohamed with trying to help terrorists in connection with a video they said he made and posted to the Web site YouTube. On the video, authorities said, he showed how to use a remote-controlled toy to detonate a bomb.
Under the terms of the plea deal, prosecutors have agreed to dismiss other charges, including counts in an indictment alleging he illegally transported explosives. The maximum penalty for the charge to which Mohamed will plead guilty is 15 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
Megahed's attorney, public defender Adam Allen, said, "We're happy to see that the person who was responsible for the illegal activity charged in the indictment has decided to plead guilty to it. We're also hopeful that the government intends to dismiss the alleged explosives counts against my client as well."...
I thought Saudi Arabia was hiring a legal team for these guys?
I'm having trouble remembering exactly what CAIR and other Muslim groups had to say when these two were first arrested. Perhaps someone can provide the details.
I found a quote from CARE here:
http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/3083
The usual line "Racial Profilling" or the other common one-"It was probobly left over fire works"
CAIR's credibility is in the tank on this one (if there ever was any), again. Another lesson in deceit /taqiyya from them. Does anyone believe anymore that these CAIR turds are loyal American citizens?
I remember:
"The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) says that the two just had firecrackers and a few tools in their car . "
and
'Had they been two white kids nobody would be asking any questions," Ahmed Bedier, Executive Director of the Counsel For Islamic American Relations (CAIR), said
and :
TAMPA (Bay News 9) -- Friends and others in the Muslim community said Youssef Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed were arrested because of their race and faith.
AND
Jassim Aldeen, President of USF's Muslim Student Association, said Megahed was nothing like he's being depicted.
Robert, as we've discussed in the past, there are very good reasons to keep linking Ahmed Bedier to these two. There might even be a connection between CAIR's recent separation with Bedier and this plea agreement, as in, "If you provide evidence against any other supporters, we can sweeten the deal for you," leading to a former CAIR member saying, "Allahu akhbar, they're naming me!"
We can hope.
