US authorities say they are searching for the eighth member of a group that is suspected of plotting terror attacks in foreign countries.

Seven people from the state of North Carolina have been accused of plotting terrorist attacks and have been charged with conspiracy to kill, kidnap and maim. They are believed to be a part of international jihad group.


Daniel Patrick Boyd
Apparently this group has been led by 39-year-old Daniel Patrick Boyd, who received terrorist training in Afghanistan and Pakistan years ago, only to come back to the US to use what he learned and recruit people in the US who would be ready to die as martyrs.

“Daniel Patrick Boyd has recruited his children who, on 9/11, were between 10 and 11 years old and he recruited other members of American society including immigrants, such as men coming from Kosovo,” according to Dr. Walid Phares, a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in Washington.

“This is not just a local protest group. We are talking about membership in an international jihad organization which could aim, not just at Afghanistan or Pakistan, but could be a part of networks that struck in Mumbai, in Madrid, in Jakarta or in Beslan.”

I find it interesting that this article leaves out the part where two decades ago, Boyd, who is a U.S. citizen, trained in Pakistan and Afghanistan and fought against the Soviet army in Afghanistan for three years before returning back to the United States.

What galls me is that two of the terrorists came to the USA as refugees, after waging jihad against Serbs. One in Bosnia and one in Kosovo. In fact they both went back to their former places of origin and tried to recruit MORE jihadists there to FIGHT against Americans there! The USA had sided WITH the islamic Bosnians and Albanians against the Christian SERBS in both Bosnia and Kosovo!! WHAT A PAY BACK! Of all the nerve, these islamic ingrates come as "refugees" to the USA, take welfare and all kinds of FREE social and educational services given to refugees and then TURN ON THE HAND THAT HELPED TAND FEED THEM!! I know that the accused terrorist named SUBASIC has relatives and fellow Bosnian compatriots in Florida. They live in the very same area of Jacksonville where 3 of the 9/11 hijackers visited in early 2001, some 6 months before the horrid 9/11 events. All of those Arab hijackers had served with the Bosnian Muslims in the civil war in Bosnia. WHY DID THEY GO TO JACKSONVILLE and stay in the area where so many Bosnian Muslims reside? I believe the USA has INVITED many potential terrorists to live in their country and have even PAID them to be here. In Utah a Bosnian "refugee" went on a rammage in a shopping mall, over a year ago and killed quite a few people, all the while yelling in Arabic about ALLAH!!
