A case against the 20-year old American
| Too young for the CIA. I vote for a jihadi wannabe who can't persuade anyone he is trustworthy enough to bring in from the cold. |
Police said he is being investigated as to why he was staying in a sensitive area without proper permission.
| Because he is stupid and unconnected. The jihadis don't take just anyone to train as cannon fodder anymore. |
Police sources said that the man revealed to the Sherlocks that he was a student at a community college in Florida and wanted to enter the tribal region to meet a friend.
| "Yeah? What's his name and address, and where's your letter with directions? 'KewlJihadi2' is not a common Mohmandi name." |
He also carried a laptop and a travel bag when he was nabbed.
The U.S. embassy said they are looking into the reports.
