Virginia Jihad - Paintball Terrorists

James at Outside the Beltway links to this WaPo article about the 11 “paintball terrorists” (as we call them in the office).

    The U.S. government is considering upgrading the charges against the 11 Muslim men indicted as part of a “Virginia jihad network,” a prosecutor said in court yesterday.

    Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon D. Kromberg told a judge in U.S. District Court in Alexandria that one of the defendants had told investigators that the men’s ultimate goal was “to fight American soldiers” and not just support a Pakistan-based militant group fighting India.

We call them the “paintball terrorists” because they practiced their techniques at paintball ranges in addition to real firearms ranges in the northern Virginia area.
