SWAT team called to local mosque?
This is bizarre, but apparently true
âLeaders of the Islamic Center of Cleveland have struck a temporary legal compromise to keep peace during todayâs prayer service and upcoming Feast of Sacrifice. The mosqueâs board of trustees suspended Damra this month after he was indicted on charges that he had hidden past ties to terrorists when he sought U.S. citizenship. But the mosque elders voted to overrule the board of trusteesâ decision, and Damra refused to leave. Said one of the centerâs staffers: âWe are a God-loving, God-fearing, peaceful community.â Parma Mayor Dean DePiero said Thursday night that police will be at the mosque today and throughout the weekend but that their presence likely will be scaled back from the SWAT team that gathered at the mosque a week ago.
I filed this under "terror networks" because the Cleveland.com site filed it under "terrorism"
