This one's different...

Officials said the group was led by Daniel Patrick Boyd, a married 39-year-old who lived in an unassuming lakeside home in a rural area south of Raleigh, where he and his family walked their dog and operated a drywall business. But two decades ago, Boyd, who is a U.S. citizen, trained in terrorist camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan and fought against the Soviets for three years before returning to the United States.

In 1991, Boyd and his brother were convicted of bank robbery in Pakistan accused of carrying identification showing they belonged to the radical Afghan guerrilla group, Hezb-e-Islami, or Party of Islam. Each was sentenced to have a foot and a hand cut off for the robbery, but the decision was later overturned.

Their wives told The Associated Press in an interview at the time that the couples had U.S. roots but the United States was a country of "kafirs" Arabic for heathens.

#4 Still looking for one.

RALEIGH, N.C. - Federal authorities were searching Tuesday for a U.S. citizen charged with plotting "violent jihad" as part of a North Carolina group suspected of international terrorist aspirations.

U.S. Attorney George E.B. Holding declined to discuss the whereabouts of the person at large but said the public should not be worried.

"Federal authorities hope to have him apprehended shortly," Holding said without elaborating. Holding wouldn't identify the person, and the defendant's name is redacted from court papers.

#5 Boyd, 39, who went by the name Saifullah, was charged along with two of his sons: Dylan Boyd, 22, also known as Mohammed, and Zakariya Boyd, 20.

So dear Mr. Boyd was a precocious lad of sixteen or so when young Dylan-Mohammed was conceived. At what point did Mr. Boyd discover the True Religion, and why did the youngsters go along? Also, who owns the training grounds in Caswell County, North Carolina, where we can assume the experienced Mr. Boyd led the exercises? So many questions, so many cell phones and computers for the FBI's computer wallahs to play with...

#6 And the obligatory...

Muslim group cautions against early judgment

The Muslim American Society-Freedom publicly condemned terrorism but urged caution in the case of a group of Johnston and Wake County Muslims. Spokeswoman Khalilah Sabra stressed that the case should be allowed to play out in court.

Sabra read a statement from Sabrina Boyd, the wife of alleged conspirator Daniel Boyd, to assembled reporters. In the statement, Sabrina Boyd urged that her family be allowed to respond to the charges against her husband, and asked the media and the public not to decide on the group's guilt or innocence so early on in the investigation.

Cuz he's a "patriot", ya see...

At the press conference, Sabra was asked about the time Daniel Boyd spent in Afghanistan in the late 1980s, during which the United States government supported Afghan fighters in a military campaign against the Soviet Union. Sabra said Boyd had believed it "his patriotic duty" to participate in that campaign.
