From Tampa Bay’s 10.  Despite what the FBI has told the public, according to the neighbor of the suspects, the FBI questioned her and allegedly told her they were terrorists.

Tampa, Florida -  When 24-year-old Ahmed Mohamed and 21-year-old Yousef Megahed appeared in court, there was no question in the prosecutor’s mind what this was all about. She says Mohamed was in possession of pipe bombs and materials that could have been made to make more bombs.

Sherri Jackson who was Megahed’s neighbor until March says FBI agents told her they were terrorists.

Jackson says the FBI came to question her Sunday.

Jackson says things seemed suspicious

She says she saw lot of traffic, a lot of people going back and forth, oxygen tanks being delivered UPS and Fed Ex deliveries and a lot going on.

Former FBI agent and terrorist expert Oscar Westerfield if they are terrorist the FBI must find out who is involved in this thing and how far does it go…

Sherri Jackson is positive of one thing, her former neighbor left as if he didn’t want to be found.

Jackson says they left in a hurry. She adds when they moved in they never looked like they were settled instead they looked like they could be gone in five minutes.

Now, apparently the University they attended, USF, has had terrorists before:

And these arrests focus attention on the University of South Florida which is the former employer of one of the founders of the terrorist organization, The Palestinian Islamic Jihad as well as Professor Sami Al-Arian who was convicted for conspiracy for helping that organization. And now once again USF is under the microscope…

USF bristles at the thought it could be a hot bed of terrorist activity, but in the 90′s the FBI warned the university that problems were brewing and our sources say the University didn’t want to hear it.

Of course, the Council on Angry Islamic Rages is involved, and defending the two:

But Council of American Islamic Relations head Ahmed Bedier says people are moving too quickly to convict they two students and his information is that they just had firecrackers.

I wonder how CAIR has any more information than the general public, or even if they do.

The local police had said the men had pipe bombs. Their neighbor has said the FBI questioned her, and told her they were terrorists. The FBI denies federal charges will be filed, but that contradicts earlier reports, and the neighbor says she was told otherwise.

Very strange. Debbie Schlussel has more.
