LODI, California (CNN) -- Authorities said Wednesday they believe a father and son arrested in this quaint northern California community were involved in a larger al Qaeda plan to carry out jihad, or holy war, against the United States.

"We believe through our investigation that various individuals connected to al Qaeda have been operating in the Lodi area in various capacities," FBI special agent in charge Keith Slotter told reporters.

4. I heard the local report on it.
Edited on Thu Jun-09-05 12:52 AM by Cleita
On the surface, the family is arab and the report stated that the son trained in an al Queda camp that his father paid for him to do so.

At first the father said he didn't know about his son's connection to al Queda and the son denied any affiliation. Then the agent (?CIA)said that the father and son admitted guilt. (Did they use coercion? Agent did not state how they got that statement.)

The police found a big cache of Korans.

Somehow this looks like a witch hunt to me. Are these people going to be disappeared? Where did they take them? No one is saying where. They just flatly stated that they were terrorists and that was it. Shouldn't they have a trial or something?

5. Oh, that big cache of holy books, that's damning!
Cleita, I have to ask myself, what did they want the people of CA not to think about today.
