MIAMI (Reuters) - The FBI arrested seven people in the past two days suspected of planning attacks on FBI offices and a federal building in Miami and the Sears Tower in Chicago, a law enforcement source said on Thursday.

The source, elaborating on a statement on the operation from Florida authorities, said the suspects had thought they were dealing with the international al Qaeda group but had been infiltrated by a U.S. government informant.

"In the past couple of days, the U.S. government has taken into custody seven people who were conspiring to conduct jihad (holy war) in the United States," the law enforcement source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"They thought they were dealing with al Qaeda," the source said, adding the suspects had been trying to buy weapons and other things needed to carry out attacks.


The source said the government had an informant with whom the suspected conspirators had discussed their plans. "There was no immediate threat because we were in on the discussions." the source said.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, confirming arrests had taken place but giving no details, also said there was no threat to people in Miami.

"Earlier today, the FBI, in conjunction with federal, state and local authorities, executed arrests as part of an ongoing investigation into a terrorist-related matter," the statement said.

CNN reported searches and arrests in the Miami district of Liberty City. It said no weapons or bomb-making materials were found.

FBI Director Robert Mueller, in an interview with CNN, said he could not discuss details because it was a continuing operation.

"Whenever we undertake an operation like this, we would not do it without the approval of a judge. We got search warrants and arrest warrants and the like, and so yes it's a concern," Mueller said.

The U.S. Attorney's Office statement said news conferences would be held in Washington and Miami on Friday to provide further details

These rasta boys are not Al Qaeda! Neither were the kids at Columbine or any of the others who went postal here. Next you'll be telling me that the 17 year old who published a song about blowing up his school on MySpace.com - is Al Qaeda... gimme a break. There's TONS of people who can't take America right now but that doesn't make them Al Qaeda. It doesn't even make them Muslim.

Seas of David (reference to King David) went completely missed. Why?

I thought the presmption was "innocent until proven guilty" ? Does that not apply to Muslims?

It should, but you must admit that many people on this forum do not extend the same sentiment when 'kafirs' are accused of crimes against muslims.

Some people just can't accept reality. Not all Muslims are good people.
 
Er.... you said most people are guilty. And I replied.
Also, since you don't belong to any paticular religion, people may be confused with you putting 'brother' on your profile.
 
Conversation usually has a natural flow. We usually can assume the other person understands.

So why lower yourself to other people's standards?

That's a good question to ask all people on this forum that do this. Nearly every person is guilty though, it is human nature.

Guilty of trying to blow up a building? I don't think so.

This last part does not fit.

Please try to keep up with the conversation.
 
I think those of us who are American have to admit we have a "Gang" problem here in the States, many of our young people have a gangster mentality and are quite disrespectfull to all. Sadly they often label themselves as being the voice of their Heritage, religious and/or cultural. The Mafia, can not be considered to be the Average, Italian or Catholic, The Panchuko are not the average Mexican , The KKK is not the typical Anglo-Saxon Christian.

Lets admit it, there are spoiled brats here in America that came from very good honorable Mideastern, Muslim families, but they are a disgrace to their heratige.

The error is the Media plays too much on the word Muslim. The media needs to say what it is, it is people accused of a crime. No more needs to be said about them. There was no need for the Media to mention they called themselves Muslim.

I will respectfully disagree. I agree that often the media hypes the 'muslim angle' to a story. But in this particular case, it is the alleged motive of the group that makes the mention of islam relevent. They are accused of plotting to "kill all the devils we can", in a Jihad against the US government. The very definition of Jihad and the reasons behind it make the fact that they are muslims very relevent to the story.
