Student Indicted in Terror Plot

Syed Ahmed(Atlanta, Georgia) A 21-year-old mechanical engineering student at Georgia Tech, Syed Ahmed, was arrested last month by FBI agents on charges related to terrorism.

From 11Alive.com:

"Mr. Ahmed knowingly and unlawfully attempted to provide, conspired to provide materials, support, and resources, knowing the materials, support and resources were going to be used in the preparation for and the carrying out of two other federal terrorism laws," said U.S. Attorney David Nahmias.

Ahmed's family suspects a videotape of their son made of a building is what made authorities suspicious but FBI agents will not confirm that. The family reportedly allowed federal agents to take computer information from their son's room.

"Yesterday, Mr. Ahmed appeared in court for his initial appearance and arraignment in front of Judge Feldman," said Nahmias. "He entered a plea of not guilty and is presumed not guilty until the government proves his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."

Ahmed's family came from Pakistan in 1997 and became U.S. citizens. Syed is reported to have become increasingly involved with Islam and allegedly attended a terrorist training camp in Pakistan last year. If he's guilty, it seems obvious to me that Ahmed was recruited through a mosque in the U.S.

Ahmed was taken into custody and ordered held until trial. No date has been set.

2 That's the moon god worshipper I was writing about. Another POS in this country. Thanks for posting this fine example of the religion of peace. ROPMA P.S. Any of you false god worshipping A-holes out there, (CAIR), want to make peace, I will cook up some pork stew. You folks are all welcome at the peace table. I will even say grace to Jesus who died for everyone's sins.

3 How in the world do these people immigrate to our country and become citizens so quickly? Were they covered by one of Clinton's amnesties, or can you become a citizen that quickly?

4 Don't you only need to be a resident for five years to apply for citizenship? I believe it is that way up here in Canada.

5 To get fast-track citizenship, one must be a turd-world piece of shit, Euroleftard, or muslim. My friends from Russia have been waiting for over a decade now, with no word. I told them they should change their names and fly to a town in northern Mexico, sneak across the border, get caught, and voila!, citizenship. Our government sucks and should be thrown out part and parcel, and all the bums hanged on the capitol steps.

8 JD, if you think that one word you write is going to have any effect on me, or anyone else here, other than boredom, you're wrong, just like about everything else. You're an idiot liberal who supports terrorism by undermining the war efforts, and you don't even deserve a new rope.
