Nuradin Abdi was convicted in 2007 of planning to blow up an Ohio shopping mall.
Iyman Faris was convicted in 2003 of planning to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge.
Christopher Paul was convicted in 2008 of conspiring to use explosives against targets in the U.S. and Europe.
All three terrorists worshiped and socialized at a small mosque in Columbus, Ohio, and, according to David B. Smith, an attorney for Faris, were part of a larger group of jihadists and extremists who frequented the mosque.
The FBI now is investigating reports of links to that same mosque by Muslim-convert Abdulhakim Muhammad who allegedly shot and killed one soldier Monday and critically wounded another in a drive-by attack on a Little Rock, Ark., recruiting station, ABC News has learned.

I knew it was one of the two big malls in Columbus.
Did the authorities ever come out and say it was the Polaris Mall?
attached it.
Show me a mosque that’s not a terrorist cell or training center and that might be newsworthy.
Oh, I’m sure they will be, God bless ‘em.
They’re gonna have to ... Eric Holder only
wants to protect mosques and baby killing
factories from suspicious people.
but....but....but ....bHo says uh.....we “respect uh one another”....etc....etc....etc.....
mosques near Columbus, OH:
Is that near the University of South Florida?
Thnx for the ping! The mosque, yemen, attack on our land, bombs in a bottle, PREVIOUS arrest for weapons—(wonder why they were dropped and was this before or after his prison time)...attacks on our troops, our land, etc.. Enough is Enough.
I’m sick of political correctness over terroristic activities. The media barely covers any of this, it’s BS!!
What has Dear Leader said about all this?
On a thread from yesterday (I think it was the one about 10AM and no media coverage), someone said that as a rule they aren’t allowed to carry protection due to storage reasons—if true, makes no sense to me considering cops carry, citizens carry—
Thanks for pointing to that snippet Piasa. I’m glad it’s posted here for archival purposes.

Nice, and the fbi was told to back off, and the fbi was watching the shooter/terrorist
Militant Buddhists on the prowl!
I think Mr. Paul was the one who taught martial arts at the mosque [a mosque which the press is curiously reluctant to name] ... there does seem to be a time period they could have been in contact...
APRIL 11, 2007 WED : (OHIO : PAUL KENYATA LAWS aka ABDULMALEK KENYATTA aka CHRISTOPHER PAUL IS ARRESTED OUTSIDE IHS APARTMENT IN COLUMBUS----See EUROPEAN TOURIST TRAP PLOTS, MIL BASE PLOTS) Paul, who was arrested Wednesday outside his apartment, is charged with providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to provide support to terrorists and conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, which carries the most serious penalty of up to life in prison....
...The indictment says Paul traveled to Germany about April 1999 to train co-conspirators to use explosives to attack European and U.S. targets, including government buildings and vacation spots frequented by American tourists. It does not name specific resorts or buildings that might have been targeted, but gives U.S. embassies, military bases and consular premises in Europe as examples.
Paul later sent a wire transfer of $1,760 from a financial institution in the U.S. to an alleged co-conspirator in Germany, prosecutors allege.
A fax machine in his home contained names, phone numbers and contact information for key al-Qaida leadership and associates, according to the indictment, issued Wednesday.
Paul also is accused of storing material at his father’s house in Columbus, including a book on improvised land mines, money from countries in the Middle East and a letter to his parents explaining that he would be “on the front lines,” according to the indictment.
...Paul is married to a woman named in the indictment as F. Bashir, investigators said. Authorities seized a letter from Paul’s apartment that he sent to Bashir about raising “little mujahideen,” or holy warriors.
Paul is linked to Nuradin Abdi, another man charged in a terror investigation, according to court records. Abdi, accused of plotting to blow up a Columbus-area shopping mall, is awaiting trial. A laser range finder and a night vision scope seized from Paul’s residence are listed among items that the government intends to use as evidence in Abdi’s case, court records show.
Abdi also listed Paul as a personal reference on a government employment application, records show.

Think so. One of my professors said it was Polaris, and I seem to remember reading that it was Polaris as well.
...ABC News reported Thursday Muhammad appears in 2006 and 2007 to have attended the Omar Ibn el-Khattab mosque in Columbus, Ohio, also frequented by three men later convicted of anti-U.S. terrorism. The other men are Nuradin Abdi, convicted in 2007 of planning to blow up an Ohio shopping mall; Iyman Faris, convicted in 2008 of planning to blow up New York's Brooklyn Bridge, and Christopher Paul, convicted in 2008 of conspiring to use explosives against targets in the United States and Europe... ----- FBI: Alleged killer may have eyed Atlanta UPI ^ | June 4, 2009
