Feds: Americans Plotted "Violent Jihad" In Middle East
Zachary Roth | July 28, 2009, 4:08PM
So what's up with those seven men arrested yesterday and charged with plotting to wage "violent Jihad"?
The ringleader appears to be Daniel Boyd, 39, a North Carolina man who runs a drywall business, and who about 20 years ago had traveled to Afghanistan as a Muslim convert to fight the Soviet Union. According to the government, Boyd recruited six men -- including two of his sons -- to participate in a scheme "to advance violent jihad, including supporting and participating in terrorist activities abroad and committing acts of murder, kidnapping or maiming persons abroad."
