Welcome to the Neighborhood

From the Toledo Blade:
PLAN TO WAGE “HOLY WAR”
3 charged in terror plot; local suspects planned attacks in Iraq, U.S. says
Men accused of trying to build bombs

In a simple West Toledo ranch house and during target practice at a local shooting range, three area men plotted to build bombs and help assist the insurgent attacks in Iraq, federal authorities alleged yesterday.

The men, including a University of Toledo computer and engineering student, planned to wage “holy war” using skills learned via the Internet, officials said, and they intended to enter Iraq under the guise of doing business related to a Reynolds Road used-car lot that one of them owned.

Two of the men were arrested in Toledo over the weekend and pleaded not guilty during a hearing yesterday. The third was arrested in Jordan and flown back to Cleveland, where he pleaded not guilty yesterday.

And here I thought I was moving my family to some place that was "safe". Of course, I'm sure the folks in Oklahoma City thought the same thing prior to 1995.

I suppose there is no such thing as a "safe" place in this day and age.
