Michigan men held on terror charges

MARIETTA, Ohio (AP) -- Two men were charged Wednesday with money laundering in support of terrorism after authorities said they found airplane passenger lists and information on airport security checkpoints in their car.
Deputies stopped Osama Sabhi Abulhassan, 20, and Ali Houssaiky, 20, both of Dearborn, Michigan, on a traffic violation Tuesday. They found the flight documents along with $11,000 cash and 12 phones in the car, said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.

Prosecutor Susan Vessels declined to say how the phones, cash or flight information involved terrorism.

Abulhassan and Houssaiky admitted buying about 600 phones in recent months at stores in southeast Ohio, said sheriff's Maj. John Winstanley. The men said they sold the phones to someone in Dearborn, a Detroit suburb.

Hmmmmm......

That sounds suspicious........I don't think like a criminal but what other logical reason would there be for that sum of cash, airline passenger lists and all those cell phones?

flying on an airplane is starting to become like being in jail. You won't be able to even wear your own clothes at some point.

They really need to do the profiling thing. Not right to punish 99% of the population for a few folks that might get offended.

I believe Michigan has the largest Muslim population in the country.
