Well seems that this bunch of asshats had plans that would have put ol Papa Jihad Osama to shame. Seven men were arrested in connection with a plot to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and the FBI Building in Miami.
The plot was discovered after an FBI agent infiltrated the group. Whats the world coming to when the jihadists are getting by agents of the Great Satan.
The arrests took place Thursday afternoon at the Scott Housing Projects in the area of NW 68th street and 15th Avenue. Miami Police officers were seen in the area securing a perimeter for the FBI to carry out their arrests.

Federal Attorney-General Alberto Gonzales stressed that there was no immediate threat in either Chicago or Miami because the group did not have explosives or other materials it was seeking.
"This group was more aspirational than operational," FBI deputy director John Pistole said.
Nevertheless, Mr Gonzalez said Thursday's arrests underscored the danger of "home-grown terrorists" who "view their home country as the enemy".
Those arrested ranged in age from 22 to 32 and included a legal immigrant from Haiti and a Haitian who was in the US illegally. Investigators said all members of the alleged plot were in custody.
