The FBI arrested Two New Jersey men at JFK International Airport on Saturday night as they were preparing to board separate planes in an alleged terrorism plot tied to a radical Islamic group based in Somalia, FOXNews.com confirmed.

Mohamed Hamoud Alessa, 20, of North Bergen, and Carlos Eduardo Almonte, 26, of Elmwood Park were charged with conspiracy to commit international terrorism and were picked up by the FBI before boarding flights to join the Somali Al Qaeda affiliate Al Shabaab, officials said. Both men are believed to be American citizens.

Names alone are a good indicator but don't judge by that alone. There is a large Bosnian muslim community here where I live. You would never know how radical some of them are just by their names.
