From xbratc: Two members of religion of peace arrested for plan to attack recruiting center in Seattle.

Copied directly from Bring the Heat, Bring the Stupid. Facebook friend and denizen of Whidbey Island WA. His home was where I did eleven of twenty years.
One of our big papers in the area was the Seattle Times. Liberal fishwrap. Bird cage carpet.

Two men have been arrested in Seattle in what federal agents say was a terrorist plot to attack a military recruit processing station in Seattle.
Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, also known as Joseph Anthony Davis, 33, of Seattle, and Walli Mujahidh, aka Frederick Dominque Jr., 32, of Los Angeles were arrested Wednesday and charged in a complaint unsealed in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
Among the charges were conspiracy to murder U.S. officers, conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and unlawful possession of firearms.

I first joined the Army at the Seattle Military Entrance Processing Center.

Read the whole article. The Seattle Times at least does mention their religious affiliation (if only quite a ways down the column).
