Cleveland FBI Director, Ted Wasky, credited the Muslim and Arab American community for passing along the information that ultimately lead to the arrest of three terror suspects. The US attorney general's office is also giving all the credit to the Muslim community.
"They are the ones who deserve the most credit," Wasky said. "The ability to prevent another terrorist attack cannot be won without the support that the community gave."
From WTOL.com: http://www.wtol.com/Global/story.asp?S=4533250 The US attorney general's office is crediting the local Arab community for their help in the arrest of three Toledo-area men on terrorism-related charges. The charges were announced by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in Cleveland Tuesday.
At the news conference, FBI Special Agent Ted Wasky called the local Arab community "crucial" to the investigation. He said individuals within Toledo's Muslim community contacted the FBI about what he termed the "violent and radical views" the suspects were articulating.
