Authorities: South Carolina Suspects Had Several Pipe Bombs

Via Dan Riehl comes word that law enforcement finally decided to get specific:

Authorities say two Middle Eastern men arrested near a Navy base had several pipe bombs in their car.

Authorities say 24-year-old Ahmed Abda Sherf Mohamed and 21-year-old Yousef Samir Megahed were charged Monday with possession of an incendiary device.

An FBI spokeswoman says a joint state-federal investigation is under way to see if there was any terrorism connection but no link had been found yet. The Navy base is the site of a brig where enemy combatants have been held.

CAIR is, as usual, playing the Islamophobia card:

“Had these been two good ol’ boys from South Carolina driving through and speeding — and even if they did have some fireworks — nobody would have been arrested,” Bedier said.

Those bigoted South Carolina cops always were frightened by Middle Eastern men with pipe bombs. Freedom march anyone?
