As I've been saying for some time: there is more to this case than is being let on. The first clue was that the FBI seized a computer from the two suspects' apartment. The second clue was when they wanted DNA from the suspects, meaning that at least one of them must be implicated in some other crime.

Ahmed Mohamed also faces charges of helping terrorists by demonstrating how to use explosives. I don't think its going out on a limb to suggest that his "demonstration" was done on the internet.

This new report, which I found via Dan Riehl, also adds two items: the arresting officer grew suspicious when he the suspects threw their laptop in the back seat where there was some ammo.

Normally you'd conclude they just didn't want the officer to see the porn on their computer, but I have a gut feeling that isn't what they were hiding. The internet, foreign Muslim nationals, and ammo aren't exactly the best combination.

As Rabbi Abraham Cooper mentioned yesterday, the internet now amounts to a "virtual university of terror" saving would-be jihadists the expense of traveling to Pakistan or Afghanistan for training.

TBO:

Alarm bells started going off for [Officer] Blakely even before he asked the students any questions, he says. They scrambled to toss a laptop into the back seat. Blakely spotted a box of bullets.

Again, as I've said before, the fact that they were in Goose Creek was probably only incidental. I now have confirmation that the two were heading somewhere else. Where that other place was, I have no idea. But they were carrying pipe bombs with them.

Probably not on their way to commit an act of terror. In fact, if my hunch is correct on this one, then they weren't planning any acts of terror here. This doesn't mean they weren't planning on helping terrorists in other parts of the world. Specifically in Diyallah province, Iraq.

I'm also told by a source close to the case that certain high placed members of the Tampa chapter of a well known Islamic "civil rights" organization could face obstruction of justice and other charges for making false statements to the grand jury. Let's put it this way: there may be a very good reason CAIR has shut up since Ahmed Bedier testified at the grand jury....
