Memphislamists?
From the Memphis Flyer comes an interesting bit of news:
On April 4th, nine FBI agents executed a search warrant at the Raleigh home of a convicted felon named Rafat Jamal Mawlawi, a Syrian with dual citizenship in the United States. Mawlawi is suspected of organizing a scam to illegally bring Moroccan men into the United States by arranging sham marriages and engagements to women from Memphis.
What the FBI found was much more troubling: a hidden stash of loaded weapons and ammunition clips, $34,000 in cash, two pictures of Mawlawi shouldering a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, a gruesome videotape of war casualties with Arabic text and voiceover, and more than 20 passports to Morocco, Syria, Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries.
The agents were members of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. As outlined by prosecutors and agents in a federal courtroom last week, what they found could be evidence of a possible terrorist link in Memphis or something less sinister, as has proven to be the case in other investigations of Middle Easterners caught up in our legal system. The FBI investigation is ongoing.
Less sinister?
What could be a "less sinister" reason for an RPG, a "gruesome" videotape titled al Mujahadeen of war casualties with Arabic text and voiceover, a stash of passports to Morocco, Syria, Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries, wads of cash, several loaded weapons, and an illegal business of helping people of unknown motive from often-hostile nations enter America fraudulently at a time of war?
