They were searching car trunks. They could have been searching incoming as well but I wasn’t driving by the entrance.

Update:

A 27-year-old man from Sudbury has been arrested on charges he planned terrorism attacks inside and outside the United States, including a plot to use automatic weapons to open fire at shoppers and emergency responders in shopping mall attacks, federal prosecutors said today.

Tarek Mehannah, of 6 Fairhaven Circle, is accused of conspiring with Ahmab Abousamra and others to obtain the automatic weapons needed to carry out a mall ambush in which they planned to open fire at random, said Acting U.S. Attorney Michael K. Loucks.

The plot included plans to fire at emergency responders, but was abandoned because the men could not obtain the weapons.

Prosecutors also allege the men discussed participating in violent Jihad against American interests and their desire to die on the “battlefield.” The crimes are alleged to have taken place between 2001 and 2008.

Loucks and Warren T. Bamford, special-agent-in-charge of the Boston FBI field office, have called a 10 a.m. press conference to discuss the arrest.

Time to round up the usual suspects, bitter clingers.

” Any info on specific shopping centers? “

There were reports during the Zazi incident that ‘security had been heightened at several WalMarts in upstate NY’..

Never heard any follow-up on it, though.....

The FBI has not released specific details as to where the planned attacks were to take place. We do have a picture of one of the suspects, however:

You can tell from the beard he's Amish, right?

Yes. And he cleverly grew the mustache to conceal his true origins.

Of course if they were to become our new Overlords it would be better to be dragged back into the 18th Century than the 7th Century.

At least hygiene was better then...

The Amish happen to be extremely nice, clean, polite God-fearing souls whose modesty and piety is not inflicted on others, even as those qualities are not truly threatening.

Our Radical Islamic "friends", on the other hand seek to inflict their cult of hatred, death and revenge in a universal manner, and yet it is still considered rude to point that out.

I agree 100%. That’s why I think the Amish comparison is so funny and so telling.

If I were forced to be Amish (as if) I really wouldn’t have much problem with it except for the fact that I couldn’t FReep (as I understand they don’t use electricity much if at all.) And I guess satellite tv would be out of the question.

Very odd story. These guys tried for seven years to obtain weapons for their plot, but had to cancel their plans because they couldn't get the weapons? In seven years? Weird.
