I'll bet there's a whole bunch of people in Ohio who are happy with the racial (or religious?) profiling policy of the Justice Department.

Somali Is Indicted for Plan to Bomb Ohio Shopping Mall

WASHINGTON -- A Somali native living in Ohio has been charged with plotting with other al-Qaida operatives to blow up a Columbus-area shopping mall, according to an indictment unsealed Monday.

The four-count indictment, returned by a grand jury in Columbus, Ohio, charges that Nuradin Abdi, 32, conspired with admitted al-Qaida member Iyman Faris and others to detonate a bomb at the unidentified shopping mall after he obtained military-style training in Ethiopia.


Apparently he's been in custody since last November on immigration charges dating back to 1999.
