From Lodi, heart of Northern California farming country, where a Pakistani father (ice cream seller) and 21 year old son were arrested on terrorism charges. After the initial flurry of terrorist activites, it turns out that the FBI has actually filed much lesser charges (lied about his ittenary in Pakistan) in the court of law then they gave to the newsworth news organizations (trained at Al Kaeeda camps).
FBI: Al Qaeda plot possibly uncovered
LODI, California (CNN) -- Authorities said Wednesday they believe a father and son arrested in this quaint northern California community were involved in a larger al Qaeda plan to carry out jihad, or holy war, against the United States. He said those included "individuals who have received terrorist training abroad, with the specific intent to initiate a terrorist attack in the United States and to harm Americans and our institutions."
Authorities earlier this week arrested the father and son, identified as 47-year-old Umer Hayat and 22-year-old Hamid Hayat from Lodi, on charges they lied to FBI investigators. The son is to be arraigned Friday.
