CNN: “Two men arrested in missile sting operation”:
The imam and the founder of an Albany, New York, mosque are being held after an FBI sing operation in which the suspects tried to help an undercover agent posing as a terrorist, federal law enforcement sources said Thursday.
The suspects are Yasin Aref, a 34-year-old Iraqi with asylum status who is the imam at the Masjid As-Salam mosque, and founder Mohammed Hossain, 49, a native of Bangladesh and a U.S. citizen, sources said.
They were apprehended when they allegedly agreed to launder the money from the sale of a shoulder-fired missile, sources said.
Must be some of those moderate clerics we keep hearing so much about…
update: more here.
Ha ha. The Masjid as-Salam. The Peace Mosque. Yeah, right.
Wow, those “sing” operations really do the trick!
Apparently they found Aref’s name, address, and phone number in an address book in a terrorist training camp in Iraq…
No, that can’t be right, everyone knows there were never any terrorists, uh, “militants” in Iraq.. shit… ummmm…
LOOK! Abu Ghraib!
LOOK! Abu Ghraib!
Priceless. Hey, if you have a link for the new info and have a chance to post it, please do.
Shouldn’t the fact that all the financial transactions were conducted on board the good ship Abscam have tipped somebody off?

But of course, it’s from that darned right wing media outlet so we can’t believe it. And it doesn’t even mention that John Kerry has THREE Purple Hearts.
