Female engineering student arrested in alleged terror plot

A female engineering student has been arrested in Yemen as authorities investigate an apparent plot to bomb airplanes with devices hidden inside computer printers, a Yemeni human rights lawyer said.

Hanan Al-Samawi is a fifth-year student at Sanaa University, in Yemen's capital, said Abdul-Rahman Barman. The student's mother, Amatulillah Mohammed, has also been arrested, Barman told CNN, calling the arrest of the mother illegal.

The lawyer and human rights activist does not know where the mother and daughter are, he said, adding that authorities holding them in an unknown location "is a criminal act."

The student's father, Mohammed Al-Samawi, said she is innocent, according to Barman. READ FULL STORY

    No, I am afraid that YOU are the fool. The Bible teaches its followers to kill infidels as well. Its ALL over the place in the Old Testament. The old Testament is still followed by Jews, and the New testament by christians.
    I would quote some Jesus at you: " Before you remove the mote of dust from your neighbor's eye, remove the plank from your own!"
    I am sorry, but it is ALL war that is the root of evil. There are just as many psychotic fringe groups in christianity as there are in Islam. FACT.
    Now find me a group of psychotic buddhists.

    Muslims hate themselves. That's why they have to take it out on others. Misery loves comgany. Americans have quality standards- Muslims eat rocks with their bread and lamb balls.
