"RALEIGH, N.C. — Israel denied entry two years ago to members of a North Carolina family that includes three men accused of plotting to execute terror attacks in foreign countries, an official said Wednesday.
Daniel Boyd, 39, was arrested Monday with six others, including two sons. Authorities claim Boyd was the ringleader of a group that was gearing up for a "violent jihad," though prosecutors haven't detailed any specific targets or timeframe. If convicted, the men could face life in prison. An eighth suspect is believed to be in Pakistan.
Boyd's wife, Sabrina, told a Raleigh newspaper that he and one of their sons flew to Israel in 2007 to visit Muslim holy sites but were denied entry and detained for two days. That followed a trip Daniel Boyd made with another son, who is not charged, to Israel a year earlier. She denied any malevolent motive for their visits."

So, apparently they were going to attack Israelis. Hmmm. They'll find sympathizers from both the radical right AND left, many Zionist hating liberals on this site.

Also:
"Boyd was also accused of trying to raise money last year to fund others' travel overseas to fight. One of the men, Sherifi, went to Kosovo to engage in violent jihad, according to the indictment, but it's unclear if he did any actual fighting."
No way! A radical violent Muslim Kosovar?! But weren't we just told the other day that only the SERBS were the evil ones?

Yeah...I think we were told that...poor Muslims in the Blakans, they'd NEVER do anything to the Serbs. They were just sitting around drinking tea and eating Fallafel when BAM! the Serbs attacked.

You are truly delusional - as is the book you quote!!! Nazis and Jews had no agreement - you belligerent moron!!! Nazis had the "final solution" planned for the Jews - complete extermination - which they almost succeeded with. You are just another Holocaust denier - just like Iran's MadJob!!! I have NO patience for morons though - I have a neighbour with a 7-digit number tattooed on his arm - yes - he is a survivor. I also have family who perished - entire towns did. To claim that Hitler had an agreement with Zionists is beyond ideocy - it is delusional!!!

ADL is not a supremacist organization - but one created to keep bullshit like yours in check! They might have used extreme measures at times, but those were always warranted under the circumstances. The article you post is not the bible - but an opinion of one reporter - who knows where his or her allegiance was? You're barking, but I can't hear you...

By the way I'm not defending these guys I'm just saying this story doesn't read right.

We know the supremacist organization the Anti-Defamation League has been working overtime to create the public myth that American militias are conspiring with Al Qaeda to kill Jews, and this little bit of propaganda conveniently follows that story line.

@ clownpuncher: dosent it hurt when you punch it?

Mymicz1 making no sense as usual. Sorry Mymicz1 I don't have my hasbara Zio-speak translater on me today.

They should have let them come over to Israel - or Jordan. They have a much more efficient ways of dealing with morons like that than we do. Much more efficient... Hahaha

do yall see...these ignorant white people are goin to end up gettin us all killed...~

I heard the guy is a democrat

But Fox News told me all terrorists are Muslim Arab men!

This guy just went waaaaaay to far trying to take matters into his own hands.

Hey look, they caught them all without the need for shady intelligence organizations and illegal secret prisons.

Looks like police and law are the best tools against terrorism after all.

This whole story sounds a little contrived.

I actually live in North Carolina. These guys were in the news as a 'Nation-Wide Terrorist Criminal Organization'. Though Criminal may have not been in there. I can't remember that well.

Innocent until proven guilty! Media programming at its best… Are we programmed to react to words “terrorist plans”, “ringleader”, “Soviets”?

What are the facts?

1) “Prosecutors say the alleged ringleader, 39-year-old Daniel Boyd, trained in Pakistan and Afghanistan, fighting the Soviets for three years before returning to the US.”

Was he deployed by US government him for training in Afghanistan to “fight the Soviets”?

2) "The court indictment does not detail any specific terrorist plans or targets overseas, but claims some of the defendants travelled to Israel in 2007 with the intent of waging "violent jihad", returning home without having succeeded."

Intent? How was it defined?

I have no idea if this man is guilty of what he is accused of or not. But he deserves the right to defense and the day in court.

Ooooo, can't wait to check this later after the birther-wackos have weighed in!! Oh, and guys, before you post, don't miss that it's not just those A-rab countries on the hit list....

Their actions, had they gone through, would have been all over the corporate media for use as yet another pretext for more military action globally, but I doubt that they would mention the American citizenry of these men.

"...trained in Pakistan and Afghanistan, fighting the Soviets for three years..."

Oh dear, I fear the birther heads might just explode at the complexities of that - these guys fought the then bad guys, with the now bad guys. That can't be true, for we have always been at war with........

There's a redneck, Islamic fundamentalist cell in North Carolina planning "violent jihad" attacks in the Middle East. The world is officially upside-down. I wonder what the uproar from the Birther-Palin-Chicken Little, Jesus freak, Bushie, The Family, Hater crowd would be if these guys were a little darker in complexion?
