Another Non-Terror Attack Foiled

MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (AP) - Two men found with several pipe bombs in their car near a Navy base were charged Monday with possession of an explosive device, authorities said.

A joint state-federal investigation was under way to see whether there was any terrorism connection, said FBI spokeswoman Denise Taiste, but no link had been found. The Navy base is the site of a brig where enemy combatants have been held.

Ahmed Abda Sherf Mohamed, 24, and Yousef Samir Megahed, 21, both students at the University of South Florida in Tampa, were driving through the area on Saturday to vacation at a North Carolina beach for Mohamed's birthday, their defense attorney said.

Two Muslims with a trunk full of pipe bombs. Nope, no terror connection there. I guess pipe bombs are party favors at Muslim birthday parties. Remember this? This politically-correct aversion to profiling is going to be the death of us all.
