According to Weber, Al Fuqra owns two private security companies in Brooklyn that not only provide armed protection for the jamaats, but also compete for government and private security contracts. Between 1980 and 1990, al Fuqra members have been either convicted or suspected in 13 assassinations and 17 firebombings, he says.

besides TEG, I wonder if Al Fuqra security companies connect to sakina security?

Wasn't that Hamdi guy who's under arrest also born in Baton Rouge? Just curious.

Excellent question. Not sure how we can find out, though, without the names of the two al-Fuqra companies.

BTW, I see mewzilla asked you about Hamdi. If he's the one I think he is (being held here in Norfolk), keep your eye on the Virginia Pilot. I heard on the local news the other night that the judge here plans to let him walk.
