Since he fought in Afghanistan from 1989-92, will the media be portraying the ringleader as a “veteran-turned-terrorist after returning from the war in Afghanistan?”

you know, to help validate that CIA report...

The charges are related to allegations that they helped raise money and provide training for terrorism operations in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Trilobites!

Tribble bites!

Mennonites or Moravians?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Nope! Mormon bike riding missionaries.

What Broad?

[Insert Helen Thomas Pic here]?

Nah...I am not THAT mean... ; )

[a fool in paradise]

Beat me to it.

[Constitution Day]

They are nothing but trouble!

The Democrats’ plot to kidnap delegates and firebomb the RNC convention in 2008 didn’t make national headlines.

....David Boyd traveled to Gaza...attempted to enter Palestine in order to introduce his son to individuals who also believed that violent jihad was a personal religous belief...

Didn't H & O just send their Pals close to a bilion dollars?

[Constitution Day]

Oh yeah. But of course, that’s not “meddling”...is it?

[Myrddin]

An Irishman? That's sad.

It was the Irish Republican Army that taught the Palestinian terrorists the fine art of making truck bombs. They're not all good guys.

Willow Springs, NC.

Instead of a raid , simply tell the good ole boys in Johnston Co. “there’s terrorists in that house” and they would handle it.

Thankfully those Lutheran extremists were stopped before they forced lutefisk on the rest of the world...

“It was the Irish Republican Army that taught the Palestinian terrorists the fine art of making truck bombs. They’re not all good guys. “

There are 50,000 illegal alien Irish in this country clamoring for amnesty, 30,000 of them in California. I wonder how many of them are IRA supporters.

The indictment also alleges that Daniel Boyd obtained a variety of weapons in furtherance of the conspiracy to murder persons overseas and provide material support to terrorists. These included a Bushmaster M4A3 rifle that Boyd allegedly received illegally via interstate commerce in 2006, as well as an ETA M16 V System C-MAG that he purchased in 2006. In 2007, he allegedly purchased a Ruger mini 14 long gun. During 2008, the indictment alleges that Boyd purchased a Mossburg 100 ATR .270 rifle, a Llama Camanche III .357 revolver, a Century Arms AK Sporter 7.62 X 39 rifle and a Ruger mini 30 7.62 X 39 rifle. During 2009, Boyd allegedly purchased a Ishmash SAGA .308 rifle, a Century Arms Polish Tantal 5.45 X 39 rifle, a Century Arms C91 rifle .308, a Century Arms M70B1 7.62 X 34 rifle, a Ruger mini 14 5.56 rifle, and a Smith & Wesson MP15 .223 rifle.

I don't see a single illegal firearm here.

[HonestConservative]

YOU sound Amish to me.

[suijuris]

I don't see a single illegal firearm here.

Except for the M4A3, none seem to be the types of firearms a serious terorist or profesional might use. Yes, they will work, but I would imagine higher quality, more effective firearms for those fanatical about doing the job right.

"I don't see a single illegal firearm here. "

It doesn't have anything to do with the legality of the firearms per se, although I do believe at least one of the co-conspirators was a convicted felon, so he couldn't even be around a firearm. But, when there is an allegation of a criminal conspiracy, and that allegation is enhanced by virtue of a firearm being involved in furtherance of the intended crime, then the firearms themselves should be detailed in the indictment, if they have that information available.

This is just a case of experienced prosecutors dotting their "I"s and crossing their "T"'s.

From the blog referenced in #14:

According to the indictment, during the period from 1989 through 1992, Daniel Boyd traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan where he received military-style training in terrorist training camps for the purpose of engaging in violent jihad. Following this training, he allegedly fought in Afghanistan.

Sounds like he was a Taliban "vet".

But this morning Daniel Boyd and his wife, Sabrina, also known as Saifullah Abu Laith and Umm Mohammed, are a long way from football games and homecoming dances. They are sitting in the dusty office of the superintendent of the Peshawar Central Jail...
