Goose Creek Bomb Suspects Identified

goosbombersvert.jpgVia WISTV:

GOOSE CREEK (WIS) - Authorities demolished a suspicious item found in a car that led police to close a highway outside Charleston Saturday night.

WIS News 10 spoke with officials at the Berkeley County Detention Center who said 24-year-old Ahmed Mohamed and 21-year-old Yousef Megahed, the occupants of the car, are still in police custody.

So far they have only been charged with possession of explosive devices, but the FBI is working to see if more crimes have been committed.

The article goes on to say...
Officials say the men did not show up on any terror suspect list, and authorities don't think they posed a threat.
Hmmmm, it seems the al-Qaeda numbnuts who tried to bomb Glasgow Airport were not on any lists either. I'll say it again, it helps if the guys in your secret cell are, you know, secret.

Hat Tip: The Macmillans.

But wait, there's more. One bomb was ready to detonate and another was under construction.

Via ABC NEWS4: Goose Creek - Two men are being held in the Berkeley County Detention Center after police find explosive making devices in their car. The men had atleast one ready to go bomb and bomb making materials that include chemicals.
Hat Tip Larwyn.

Move along. These are not the middle eastern men with bombs and names similar to Megadeath we're looking for.
