Another set of Muslims conspiring to commit terror.  No word from the left though cause they’re just a couple “thugs” with no rhyme or reason.  Nothing to do with Islam of course.  Meanwhile, the second a Christian commits any sort of crime, the left are all up in arms with their religious relativism…

Two Chicago Men Face Terror Charges

WASHINGTON — U.S. prosecutors accused two men in Chicago of plotting with a Pakistani terror group to carry out an attack on a Danish newspaper that in 2005 printed controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

Criminal complaints filed by federal prosecutors against David Coleman Headley, a 49-year-old U.S. citizen, and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, 48, a Pakistani native with Canadian citizenship, alleged that the men plotted with members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba terror group in Pakistan to carry out unspecified attacks on the offices of Jyllands-Posten in Denmark.

Mr. Headley was arrested Oct. 3 as he prepared to board a flight on a planned trip to Pakistan, and Mr. Rana was arrested Oct. 18 at his Chicago home, according to the complaints. The complaints against the men, made public Tuesday, were sealed by a federal judge after the arrests while investigators continued their probe. Each faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of charges of providing material support to terrorism.

“The public should be reassured that there was no imminent danger in the Chicago area. However, law enforcement has the duty to be vigilant to guard against not just those who would carry out attacks here on our soil but those who plot on our soil to help carry out violent attacks overseas,” said Patrick Fitzgerald, U.S. attorney in Chicago.

    What irony that these two would plot their terrorist act against a newspaper that execised it's expression of Free Speech in the country that enshrined Freedom of Speech in it's Constitution. It's a good thing they were caught before they could carry it out. I hope our anti-terrorist forces keep up the good work.
