Capitalism, Not Terrorism is Motive, They Say

The three men recently nabbed buying hundreds of cell phones and accused of plotting to destroy a bridge in Michigan claim that they were simply buying phones for resale at a profit.

Sex Offender?

Congratulations to JUSTIN ENGEL from The Saginaw News who included lots of details about the arrest and the men involved: two brothers, Adham Abdelhamid Othman, 21, and Louai Abdelhamied Othman, 23, and their cousin, Maruan Awad Muhareb, 18.

"One suspect admitted to a criminal background.

Adham Abdelhamid Othman said Texas courts charged him with a felony count of indecent exposure seven years ago, forcing him to register as a sex offender.

The Texas Department of Public Safety's online sex offender database shows a photo record of a Adham Jacob Othman -- with similar features and a matching birthdate -- who took his latest photo for the Web site June 29.

Authorities in Mesquite -- a community in Dallas -- convicted Othman of "Indecency w/child sexual contact" involving a 5-year-old female."

Perhaps you'd like to check the the Texas State record with a recent photo and see for yourself?
