al-Qaida in my backyard?

Lodi, a hotbed for Islamic terrorist? Sounds like it.

One of the men arrested, 22-year-old Hamid Hayat, is accused in a federal criminal complaint of training in an al-Qaida camp in Pakistan to learn "how to kill Americans" and then lying to FBI agents about it.

His purported training included explosives and weapons instruction and using photographs of President Bush as targets, court documents indicate.

As most of the attention focuses on the 22 year old suspect, Hamid Hayat, I want to look closer at the other two men arrested, or at least one of them. It seems like one of the men arrested is an imam at the Lodi mosque. Muhammed Adil Khan may have been under the FBI's nose for quite some time.

The meeting started off with a recitation from the Koran by Imam Adil from Lodi and an English translation by Imam Luqman of Sacramento. CAIR-Sacramento Valley Executive Director Basim ElKarra conducted the proceedings

I have two predictions to make. We will be attacked by these sleeper cells here in the U.S. soon. When that happens, the left will go into super-spin mode to ban all semi auto guns in the US. If one of the terrorists starts shooting up a pizza parlor with a legal, semi-automatic firearm, the next day, the MSM will run stories on how easy it is to acquire these terrible weapons. It will be an all out assault on our second amendment rights for the illusion of safety.

I hope I am wrong on both predictions.
