New Jersey jihadist arrested in Yemen worked at nuclear power plants

His mother says he is a "good Muslim." She said it. "NJ Terror Suspect Worked at Nuclear Power Plants," by Vince Lattanzio for NBC Philadelphia, March 11 (thanks to Benedict):

The South Jersey man who Yemini officials are calling a terrorist with links to al-Qaeda previously worked at three local nuclear power plants.

Sharif Mobley, 26, is being held in a jail in Yemen after he allegedly killed a police guard and seriously injured another during a shootout at a hospital on Monday.

The Buena, N.J. native has also been accused of taking part in several acts of terrorism, Yemini officials say. He also purportedly has ties to the same branch of al-Qaeda who are suspected of attempting to blow up a U.S. airliner on its way to Detroit on Christmas.

As details of Mobley's arrest trickle back to the U.S., more people who knew him are coming forward.

Former high school classmate Roman Castro says Mobley was always fiercely religious and tried to convert high school friends to Islam.

Castro says he ran into Mobley during an Army tour in Iraq around four years ago. The two had a short exchange, with Mobley telling him to "Get the hell away from me, you Muslim killer," according to Castro.

A former neighbor said Mobley moved to Yemen two years ago to study Islam.

Mobley, who was born in the U.S., also worked as a laborer at three Salem County nuclear power plants, power company officials say.

Working for several contractors, Mobley carried supplies and did maintenance work at the plants on Artificial Island in Lower Alloways Creek from 2002 to 2008, PSE&G spokesperson Joe Delmar said.

Mobley also worked at other plants in the area, Delmar said.

Speaking to NBC Philadelphia Wednesday, Mobley's mother denied claims her son was a terrorist. She called Sharif a "good Muslim" and said he's "absolutely not a terrorist."...

Oh dear.

Not *another* ridiculous item to add to the long, long List of Things That Offend Muslims?

My first thought was: The USA is well rid of him.

Leave him in Yemen.

However - there *is* the little matter of...*what* might he have told, to aspiring Jihad plotters, concerning the layout, and possible vulnerabilities, of those various nuclear power plants where he worked, in the USA?

'Mobley moved to Yemen two years ago to study Islam'

This seems to be an ongoing theme with barbarian terrorists!

If the western security organisations haven't cottoned on to this, then I suggest they look at all those who have travelled to backward countries 'to study Islam'.

"...Mobley's mother denied claims her son was a terrorist. She called Sharif a "good Muslim" and said he's "absolutely not a terrorist."..."

Of course not. Her son was going to kill infidels. According to Islamic doctrine, infidels aren't innocent and need to be subjugated and/or killed. Therefore, Mobley is emulating what the "prophet" did in the 7th century and acting within Islamic doctrine. Thus, because of this, he's a good Muslim and not a terrorist. How could he be a terrorist if Mohammed did the same? Remember: Mohammed is the example to follow for all Muslims.

"...after he allegedly killed a police guard and seriously injured another during a shootout at a hospital on Monday..."

The circumstances of the shootout are not mentioned in the above link to the story. There is more detail at http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/top/all/6909686.html .

According to the chron.com story,

"Mobley was arrested in Yemen in a roundup of suspected al-Qaida members this month and was being treated at a hospital in San'a when he got into a shootout with guards during an escape attempt, killing one and wounding another..."

It would appear the hospital needs to review it's security setup.

Momma said he's a "good muslim".
I agree.

If they call ya a terrorist in Yemen...chances are yer a terrorist.
Attempting to shoot his way out of the place? I don't know. I've felt that way before about being in the hospital...just didn't have access to a gun.

islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.

He moved to Yemen to TEACH Al Qaeda about the layouts of nuclear plants!

Oh man, what are these idiots thinking hiring muslims in jobs like this. I wish I could call this a close call, but he probably already got the info thru.

Sigh.
Another one that won't be reported.

"... Mobley telling him to "Get the hell away from me, you Muslim killer," according to Castro.

So....who does Mobley kill....yep...Muslims..
