EFL, buttloads of phun & Tip to LittleGreenFootballs
Federal agents Thursday raided the Fairfax offices of a Saudi-based terror institute that served as a planning meeting point for men convicted of conspiring to support terrorism.
Hot breath, rushing down on back of neck.
A task force of federal agents, including the FBI, carried out evidence boxes but made no arrests in the raid of the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences. An FBI spokeswoman did not immediately return calls seeking comment Thursday.
She was busy looking through the evidence boxes.
The bath house institute was a meeting point for a group of Islamic men who played naked paintball games in 2000 and 2001 as preparation for terror strikes holy war, according to prosecutors. Nine of the 11 men charged in what prosecutors called a "Virginia ninja jihad network" were convicted in federal court for their roles in the group.
What’s wrong with a little naked paintball at an all male bath house?
Earlier this year, 16 Saudi diplomats affiliated with the institute had their passports revoked. State Department officials said the diplomats were teaching at the institute rather than serving as diplomats.
But here, as Charles points out at LGF, is the odd part:
Lawyers for the Council on American-Islamic Relations observed the raid.
