FBI gives details on Boston terror suspect
In an affidavit filed in federal court, the FBI named Ahmad Abousamra as a conspirator with Tarek Mehanna, who was arrested by the FBI and charged with providing support to terrorists, the Boston Globe reported Friday. Abousamra allegedly fled to Syria in 2006 after the FBI questioned him.
Abousamra, 28, is the son of Dr. Abdul Abousamra, who was on staff at Massachusetts General Hospital for more than 20 years, and president of the Islamic Center of New England. Dr. Abousamra moved to Detroit two years ago.
Abousamra and Mehanna were childhood friends, a person who knew both men said.
"They knew each other from when they were young," he said. Asking not to be identified because the case is sensitive, he said Abousamra and Mehanna first met while attending a mosque in Sharon, Mass., run by the Islamic Center of New England.

Perhaps the reason the American Muslims say nothing about these terrorists acts, is because of fear of what they would do to them.
These terrorists are killing their own people with car bombs in the country of their origin. Why? Just so they can kill a few foreigners among them, and to let the government know they have no control over them.

I want to believe that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are in fact as MpisVala says below: "The vast majority of American Muslims are perfectly decent folks." I ask and keep asking: Where is their OUTRAGE when their fellow Muslim engages in horrific activities? It is rare if at all to see condemnation! How about some Muslim leadership take a stance against such terror activities. I see NO opt-eds in my local, state or national papers from Muslims condemning this. Why?

That's ridiculous, Helios. The vast majority of American Muslims are perfectly decent folks. How many do you actually know? Very few, I suspect. I find your assertion that his dad probably knew all along and was even funding terrorists acts to be idiotic. What possible evidence can you point to which supports such a notion? The deep well of your biotry, perhaps? I think this is a great horror for him.

Every Muslim in this country is liable to be a mole. His father, the doctor, had no idea what his son was up to? Ha. And funding his plots rigiht along, no doubt.
