Mackinac Bridge; Alleged Target Of Terror

(TV5) -- We are following breaking news today after it was revealed that the goal of an alleged terror plot, uncovered in Mid-Michigan, was apparently to hit the Mackinac Bridge.

The suspects are 21 year old Adham Abdelhamid Othman, 18 year old Maruan Awad Muhareb, and 23 year old Louai Abdelhamied Othman; all are apparently from Texas.

All have been charged with one count each of collecting and providing material support for terrorism; and one count of surveillance of a vulnerable target (that target allegedly being the Mackinac Bridge).

Tuscola County Prosecutor Mark Reene couldn't go into specific detail about what exactly was found relating to the target.

What we do know is the van driven by the men contained about one-thousand TracFones. These cell phones are used by terrorists because they are cheap and virtually untraceable.

The phones can be used to remotely detonate explosive devices, or event to make methamphetamine. The charges against these men are 20 year felonies. We have also learned the men will face no federal charges.

Maledetta feccia islamica. Infesta ogni parte dell'Occidente.

Il Michigan e' composto da due penisole. Il ponte Mackinac (lungo 5 miles) e' il collegamento tra i due, e e' usato da tutti, i miei famiglia e amici compresi.

Chiaro. Volevano colpire un'arteria di comunicazione di primo livello, cercando naturalmente di uccidere il maggior numero di persone possibile, dimostrando di poter colpire al cuore gli USA.
Ma agli USA non la si fa.

La popolazione dei musulmani piu' grande degli stati uniti e' quella di Dearborn, Michigan, vicino a Detroit, ma questi sono venuti dal Texas. Bisogna sapere si hanno alcuni rapporti con Dearborn.

Ogni anno c'e' una passeggiata sul queste ponte. La prossima e' il 4 Settembre. Mi fa pensare che i terroristi pensavano su questa passeggiata.

(TV5) -- It was revealed that the goal of an alleged terror plot, uncovered in Mid-Michigan, was apparently to hit the Mackinac Bridge. In response to the announcement by the Tuscola County Prosecutor the U.S. Coast Guard is increasing its patrols of the Mackinac Bridge.

The bridge security had already been increased for several months due to elevated terror alert levels. Cameras on the bridge are monitored so that any suspicious packages or activity will be responded to by authorities.

There is growing speculation as to why the Might Mac was the alleged target of these three Palestinian-American men. Tuscola County Prosecutor Mark Reene couldn't go into specific detail about what exactly was found relating to the target.

One theory is that the men weren't targeting solely the bridge itself but the people on it. The Annual Labor Day Bridge Walk has drawn over 60,000 people in the past few years. In 2000 there was an estimated 65,000 people who participated in the Annual Bridge Walk.

The two east lanes of the bridge are used by walkers until 90am. To keep I-75 moving the two west lanes will be used for vehicles traveling north and south across the bridge. The National Guard is present in case of an emergency.

The suspects are 21 year old Adham Abdelhamid Othman, 18 year old Maruan Awad Muhareb, and 23 year old Louai Abdelhamied Othman; all are apparently from Texas. The three are all related Adham and Louai are brothers and Maruan Awad Muhareb is their cousin.

All have been charged with one count each of collecting and providing material support for terrorism; and one count of surveillance of a vulnerable target, that target allegedly being the Mackinac Bridge.
