NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An Iraqi-born man was sentenced Monday to nearly five years in prison after trying to buy machine guns and hand grenades in a federal sting operation.

Ahmed Hassan Al-Uqaily (search), 34, was arrested last October during the investigation prompted by his alleged threat about "going jihad" against the United States, investigators said.

Another Amish Budhist! We have to stop these people, before they start using buggy-bombs.

But, but, but, I thought the American way was supposed to transform our Muslo-Americans into good citizens, unlike France or Britain.
