Holy Toledo!

Hugh Hewitt is right, this story is not getting the kind of attention it deserves... From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Thousands of people came to Cleveland in July 2004 for a conference on Muslim families and the challenges they face, but two cousins had other motives in making the six-hour drive from Chicago, prosecutors said.

Zubair and Khaleed Ahmed came to the conference and met with a man who promised to train them to kill American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday.

Zubair Ahmed, 27, and Khaleed Ahmed, 26, were charged with conspiring to commit terrorist acts against Americans overseas. They were arrested Wednesday in Chicago and are scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court there Monday.

The two men are accused of being part of what prosecutors say is a terror cell based in Toledo that trained to support insurgents fighting in Iraq by making explosives and smuggling computers to them.

Mohammed Zaki Amawi, 27, Marwan Othman El-Hindi, 43, and Wassim I. Mazloum, 25, all of Toledo, were indicted last year in connection with the conspiracy. The three remain in jail in Michigan, awaiting trial.
