Seven (Islamo-fascists?) arrested in Miami

The headline in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reads: Miami terror raid connected to plot against Sears Tower:

MIAMI -- Seven people were arrested Thursday in connection with the early stages of a plot to attack Chicago's Sears Tower and other buildings in the United States, a federal law enforcement official said.

The official told The Associated Press the alleged plotters were mainly Americans with no apparent ties to al-Qaida or other foreign terrorist organizations.(emphasis added) He spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to pre-empt news conferences planned for Friday in Washington and Miami.

Hat's off to the investigation that lead to these arrests, but how can they say for a surety they have no ties to international terrorist organizations?

I wonder if they had ties to the Sons of Norway or maybe they were Shriners. Yeah, that's right, those Shriners always have Arabic nomenclature attached to their local organizations and they're always flashing those odd shaped swords.

Hmmm...Shriners...
