Jawa Nabs Jihadist

Congratulations to Dr. Rusty Shackleford!

Through his efforts at The Jawa Report, the FBI was alerted to jihadist Mohammed Radwan Obeid, a Jordanian-born American living in Dayton, Ohio. Obeid was attempting to form a terror cell to conduct "a big operation that will make 9/11 nothing but a little bit of headache." The FBI arrested Obeid and charged him with immigration violations and, later, for lying to federal investigators. Notably, the FBI case against Obeid necessitated the use of evidence gleaned from public library records as provided for by the Patriot Act.

Read Blogoversary Surprise and raise a toast to Dr. Shackleford.
