| HT:Villagers with Torches Sort of sounds like where Rantburgers move when they're done ranting. What follows is a partial and edited transcription from the 8 page .pdf of the search warrant for the Toyota with Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed ("MOHAMED") and Youssef Samif Megahed ("MEGAHED") (collectively "The YOOTS"). The typos are all mine. The .pdf is at the title link A review of the laptop's hard drive also revealed a 12 minute video in Arabic language of a male individual with an Egyptian accent who was wearing rubber gloves on his hands. In the recording, he shows how a remote-control toy vehicle is constructed and operated, and gives instructions as to the range and distance the remote will operate and the radio frequency on which the vehicle operates. The narrator explains how to convert the vehicle into a detonator. Law enforcement agents later interviewed MOHAMED and he acknowledged that he made the videotape himself and that he was the person who narrated it. He explained he had made the tape to assist those persons in Arabic countries to defend themselves against the infidels invading their countries. Records on the hard drive of the computer indicate that someone using that computer uploaded this video to a website knows as "You Tube," a website for sharing and viewing videos. Additional records on the hard drive show that on July 31, 2007, someone using MOHAMED'S computer provided the follwoing search words to link viewers to this video: "detonator from a distance" and "remote control ignitor fireworks radio wireless coverting toy explosives rockets controlled car martyrdooms (sic) suiciders." While being transported from the location of the traffic stop to a detention facility in Berkeley County, a recording device, unknown to The YOOTS captured a conversation between the subjects in Arabic. MEGAHED responded, "Did you tell them about the benzene [gasoline]?" In response, MOHAMED said, "I have nothing to do with it. I do the fireworks and so, so, so that is it." MEGAHED stated to MOHAMED that he had "told him [law enforcement] that we got the gas for the cars..." and MOHAMED responded, "Yes...exactly." |

| #1 Although I've never been a fan of writing affidavits in the third person, this one is good (legal sufficiency is the test). This one's going to make it and these two dorks will be with us for a long time. |
