Two New Jersey wannabe jihadists busted for allegedly trying to fly to Somalia to join a terror group appeared today in federal courtroom in Newark and ordered to remain in custody without bail. Mohamed Mahmood Alessa, 20, and Carlos Eduardo Almonte, 24, are accused of trying to join al-Shabab, which was designated by the US as a terrorist group in 2008.

The men, wearing wrist and ankle shackles and sporting long black beards, were informed that they would face charges of conspiring to kill, maim and kidnap persons outside the United States by joining al-Shabab...

During their appearance in Newark court, Alessa, who had bruises or scratches on his face, smiled broadly during the proceedings, and mouthed words to his parents. He also made a fist with his right hand and pounded his chest above his heart toward them.

5. From the comments at njo.com, at one of these...

clowns was in special ed and neither of them had the brains to find their asses with both hands-- no self-respecting terror cell would have them, but they were desperate enough to talk to a cop.

What's it up to now, a trillion or so a year securing the homeland and this is all they can come up with?
