Miami Terror Plot
7 arrested in Miami today in what seems to be a terror plot against the Sears Tower in Chicago and other buildings in the U.S.A federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press the alleged plotters were mainly Americans with no apparent ties to al-Qaida or other foreign terrorist organizations.
Hmmm... CNN reports say something a little different,
Some of the suspects are members of a radical African-American Muslim group and that at least one had taken "an al Qaeda oath," law enforcement sources told CNN.
Sources told CNN that the arrests culminated a monthslong undercover operation. The suspects believed they were dealing with an al Qaeda operative, but the person was actually a government informant, the sources said.
UPDATE #1:
One of those arrested is an illegal alien from Haiti. He is here illegally after overstaying his visa. Another suspect is a legal resident alien, and the remaining five are Americans. ( I use the word 'Americans' only because it is the one being used right now on CNN. I don't believe anyone plotting to cause terror and death in our own country should be refered to as 'Americans'. I prefer to use that word for those people who strive to uphold our way of life instead of choosing to destroy it.
