CHICAGO (AP) - Two cousins were arrested Wednesday on charges of conspiring to commit ``jihad'' terrorist acts against Americans overseas, including U.S. military forces in Iraq.
Zubair A. Ahmed, 27, of suburban North Chicago, and Khaleel Ahmed, 26, of Chicago, were arrested after a grand jury in Cleveland returned an indictment charging them and three other men who already had been facing terrorism charges.
The indictment alleged that the conspiracy included finding fresh recruits to wage ``violent jihad'' against Americans and locating sites for training them in the use of firearms, explosives and hand-to-hand combat.
The cousins, both American citizens, went to Cleveland in July 2004 to meet with a trainer, according to the indictment.
The three others - Mohammad Zaki Amawi, 27, Marwan Othman El-Hindi, 42, and Wassim I. Mazloum, 22 - were already facing charges, prosecutors said. The newly returned indictment added more charges against them.
The names of attorneys who could speak for the two cousins were not immediately available.

"The cousins, both American citizens.."
No, can't be. American Muslims are of the peaceful kind - they were thoroughly screened before given their immigration visas.
Our current immigration practices are suicidal.
I'm getting tired of these violent Christian fundamentalists.....Why can't they be more like the Religion of Peace?
Well, hang on there...
Without seeing their photographs, how do we know they are the genuine thing, not the trendy "wannabe" variety?
I thought they were Amish.
Tribune story includes perp details:
Zubair A. Ahmed, 27, 3500 Green Bay Road, North Chicago, Khaleel Ahmed, 26, 4500 N. Keystone Avenue, (aka "K town" in) Chicago.
And connected with the Toledo arrests of Mohammad Zaki Amawi, Marwan Othman El-Hindi, and Wassim Mazloum.

torture the crap outta both of 'em until they spill about their buddies and then saw their damn heads off.
This is unsettling. North Chicago is immediately adjacent to Great Lakes Naval Training Center.
BTW, don't be fooled by "suburban." North Chicago is more like a Third World no-man's land. It almost makes the next nearby dump, Waukegan (where I was born & raised), look like a garden spot.
So we have terrorist trainers in Cleveland?
My question is, why are we bothered with this petty nuisance kind of news? Under FDR, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI would have picked these guys up and shipped them off for a secret, quick trial and execution, and the American public would not have heard anything until after the war.
Unless we are going to have quick, public executions, we should just make these guys disappear, permanent-like.
Zubair, Kahleel. Kahleel, Zubair.
