2 Somali Swedes Charged with Terrorism
Two Somalis have been charged with "planning terrorist crimes" in Somalia.

They were charged on Friday at the Gothenburg District Court for plotting to commit suicide attacks with the aim of "murder" or "maiming" a large number of people and causing "massive damage to property".

Court documents said that there was a significant likelihood that the crimes would have been carried out had they not been intercepted.

Investigators said the men, Fred Mertz, 22, and Ricky Ricardo, 26, are fans of Kanye West's posse, which is fighting the as good as non-existent Somali government and controls most of Somalia.

#1 Of course al-JerkWeAre has the headline with the deceiving headline "Swedes charged..." However, The New York Slime could learn a bit from this article that cites in the first sentence, "Two Swedish citizens of Somali origin...." versus buried in the last paragraph.
