No Worries, No Terror, Nah

Now we know some of the mystery behind the halal meat plant raid in exurban Kinsman. The owner of the plant was arrested the same day at his North Side Chicago home. Now this: 2nd Chicago man tied to terror plot: Man taken into custody at O'Hare was allegedly to meet with people linked to terrorist organizations

Oh well, no worries. He was going to be trained to go after European targets.

But what about that other trial tomorrow in Peoria?

Then there's news of a hapless couple caught by pirates off Somalia. Just sailing along.

And our game-playing president leaves our guys and gals hanging overseas--without needed reinforcements.

UPDATE: He wanted to attack the Danish newspaper which published the Muhammad cartoons:

Federal officials said there was "no imminent danger in the Chicago area," and added that the charges are not related to recent terror plot arrests in Boston, New York, Colorado, Texas and central Illinois.

Headley conducted surveillance of targets in Denmark beginning in 2008, and then reported to Ilyas Kashmiri, an operational chief in a Pakistani-based organization known as Harakat-ul Jihad Islami, which has links to al-Qaida, according to an FBI affidavit filed in the case.

Headley also allegedly communicated with another terror organization, Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Headley and the people he communicated with coded their plan for attacks over the cartoon as "the Mickey Mouse Project," according to the affidavit.

He allegedly traveled to Denmark in January 2009 and visited two offices of the newspaper that printed the cartoon, Jyllands-Posten, in Copenhagen and Arhus. During his visits he claimed to be a businessman interested in advertising with the paper, according to the document.
