 merrie says: . . booked at the Sudbury police station before being turned over to federal authorities. Federal agents have searched Mehanna’s home and say he is a U.S. citizen. A bail hearing has been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in federal court. Abousamra left the United States for Syria on Dec. 26, 2006, officials said. He said he would be back within a month after visiting his wife, but has never returned, officials said. The plot included plans to fire at emergency responders, but was abandoned because the men could not obtain the weapons, authorities said. They declined to name the mall or mallsthe men were targeting. Automatic weapons may be more of a challenge, but if you can’t get your hands on guns, even in Massachusetts, you aren’t trying hard enough. It looks like the kind of bust that, during the Bush years, some people would have considered a joke. You don’t hear the sneering anymore. Instead, people behave and talk as though the threat is dated, passe, no longer a concern. Mehanna, according to the feds, is no novice, though. Read on. It isn’t so much ones they catch I’m worried about. It’s the ones they haven’t yet. The ones they might not catch in time. The ones who might manage to lay their hands on guns and explosives. Between Mehanna and Abousamra in Massachusetts, Najibullah Zazi in Denver, John Muhammed in Washington, D.C., and numerous others, we have no reason to think they aren’t are out there. The joke gets less funny if you should find yourself shielding your kids at the mall, or if, as some people experienced several years ago, you are shot while pumping gas.
