Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri
As unlikely as it might seem, Peoria, Illinois is a hotbed
of
terrorist activity, according to the FBI. Yep, Peoria.
It appears
that Peoria is part of a 7-city “circuit” that disperses
terrorists
all across the U.S. – starting from San Francisco or Los Angeles,
then moving to Phoenix, Denver, Peoria, Champaign (Illinois)
and New
York. Take for example the enemy combatant seen here in this
mug shot: Ali Saleh Kahlan al-Marri, arrested in late 2001
by the
FBI. He lived in West Peoria, and the feds allege he has direct
ties
to al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. Looking at the ice-cold
hatred in
those eyes, we’re inclined to believe the feds on this one.
