CANTON — Police have arrested a man who the FBI detained in recent weeks as part of its investigation into the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Mostapha Fandi, 50, of an apartment on Seventh Street NW remained in jail Friday where he was held under $1,000 bond.
Police said that he became belligerent with residents and business owners outside a downtown restaurant Thursday night, and claimed to be a terrorist. Then, he threatened to kill police and their families, jail records said.
FBI agents weren’t impressed.
“We’ve already interviewed him extensively and we don’t have any interest in him,” said Mitchell Marrone, senior supervisory agent of the FBI office in Canton.
Fandi was a roommate of two men — Karim Koubriti, 23, and Ahmed Hannan, 33 — arrested Sept. 17 in an international terrorism investigation. The trio lived with two other men in apartments on Arlington Avenue SW and Sixth Street NW.
Police said they were called to the Our House Cafe at 519 Cleveland Ave. SW at 6:55 p.m. Thursday when Fandi shouted at residents and the restaurant’s owners.
When the man began shouting that he played a role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the family dialed 911.
Fandi was charged with aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor, and with disorderly conduct, a fourth-degree misdemeanor.
Especially since he was a roommate with some REAL terrorist who are in jail in, Detroit...and I think he might be the same man who went into our county library and asked to see maps of the water system and he wanted information on how infectious diseases are spread from animals to people.

I could not believe what I was reading until I realized that this happened during the Clinton Administration. If I can find it I'll post it.
That would have been "The Thing" from the Fantastic Four
It's not all bad. We were living in a kind of apathy before Sept. 11th. An apathy that was the result of eight years of disgusting politics.
Now, it appears that we are beginning to awaken to realities that offer opportunities to develop and sharpen ourselves, as individuals as well as a nation. This truley is a defining moment in our history. There is a certain sense of excitement and anticipation amidst the fear and stress.
Now that I could agree with. ;-)
He came to Ohio to work at an Amish chicken farm processing factory...and use our county library to find out how to spread animal born-disease.
So, why would the INS and FBI be concerned? No problem here.
That's right. I'd be the one in jail.
Demand that the man be removed!
Tell them you will go on local and then national news and name names!
Call your Congreesman and tell him you expect him to call the FBI also!
After all that,if you're not in jail, get back to us!
No FBI careers were harmed, what's the problem?
LOL!
I plan on calling my congressman (like that will do any good.)
Oh course! What was I thinking?
You know, stories like this, make you wonder.
