A Palm Beach County doctor arrested on terrorism-related charges plotted to treat "wounded jihadists" in a plan hatched with a New York martial-arts expert to recruit and train al-Qaida members, federal officials said Sunday.

Both men were arrested during the weekend.

The second suspect, Tarik Ibn Osman Shah, 42, was apprehended in the Bronx on Saturday in the same investigation that snared Rafiq Abdus Sabir, 50, an emergency-room doctor who lives in a gated community west of Boca Raton. The men, U.S. citizens, were charged with conspiracy to provide material support to al-Qaida, the terrorist organization led by Osama bin Laden.

Shah, also known as Tarik Jenkins, agreed to provide martial-arts training and hand-to-hand combat, according to the statement. Sabir, also described as "the Doctor," pledged to provide medical assistance to terrorists in Saudi Arabia who couldn't visit hospitals, the statement said. Both men had staked out possible training centers for terrorists, including a Long Island warehouse, and had a list of possible recruits, some who already had traveled overseas to attend training camps in the Middle East, officials said in the complaint.

A job well done to the FBI for finding these animals. And John Kerry thinks terrorism is just a nusance.

She said Sabir was born into a large Catholic family in New York and converted to Islam in high school.

Ah. No greater fanatic than a convert.

South Florida is a hotbed for jihadis.

Kudoes to LE for catching these monsters.
