Christian Terrorists captured
N: 3 MEN SUSPECTS IN ATTEMPT TO TORCH ISLAMIC BUSINESS - TOPNATALIA MIELCZAREK, Ashland City times, 2/4/06http://www.ashlandcitytimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060204/NEWS01/602040339/1291/MTCN01Authorities took three Christian men into custody yesterday as primary suspects in an attempted arson of an Islamic store and restaurant earlier in the day while they searched for suspects in an attempted firebombing of a local Islamic center Thursday.A witness disturbed by a loud noise about 3:40 a.m. yesterday called the police to report a burglary at Bakery USA on Elysian Fields Avenue and described the getaway car that the suspects drove, the same one later discovered by Metro police near at the scene, police said.The men burglarized the place, poured gasoline in the back of the building and at some point left with intent to buy more of the flammable liquid and return to the bakery, Metro police said. The extent of the damage to the bakery was unclear yesterday.Arrested were Carl Bullard, 26, Thomas Allard, 21, and Corbin McBride, 18. They are expected to face charges in federal court. . .In the earlier incident, Metro's bomb squad was called Thursday afternoon to the Al-Mahdi Islamic Center on Wingrove Street after a discovery of a small container filled with flammable substance, commonly referred to as a Molotov cocktail, that was thrown through the window inside the center, Metro police said.A bottle with ignitable substance set on fire was tossed through a window into the center either late Wednesday or early Thursday morning. When it landed inside, it self extinguished, Metro police said. No one was hurt, and the building sustained little damage, ATF officials said.Both acts shouldn't be tolerated, said Awadh Binhazim with Islamic Center of Nashville."It's unacceptable to target anyone because of their faith, whether they're businesses or sanctuaries of worship. This is a county that encourages freedom of worship, and people should be free to worship that which they choose, as well as be safe to conduct business. Just because they're Muslim, or any other faith, they should not be targeted." (MORE)
