Two Americans arrested in US on terrorism charges

Rafiq Abdus Sabir, a physician, and Tarik Shah a martial arts instructor were arrested and charged with conspiring to offer material support to al-Qaeda. Both men had pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda. Sabir was set to leave for Saudi Arabia on June 2. He had also promised to treat any al-Qaeda terrorists who had been wounded. Sabir was arrested on May 29 and is being held at the Palm Beach County jail. No details were given about Shah.

To read more the Jerusalem Post

Update from the Palm Beach Post
Shah is reported as stating during the sting operation that lasted from 2003-2005:
"During these conversations, Shah repeatedly indicated his desire to train Muslim 'brothers' in the martial arts in order to wage 'jihad' and also regularly discussed his desire to find people who were willing to press the fight,"

It seems like Florida is a haven for jihadists.
