Florida teen faces charges of helping terrorists following visit to Middle East

Another American "youth" converts to Islam and goes jihad.  This story raises many questions: 

Which mosque did Bell attend?

Is the mosque under investigation?
 
Who is the minor who accompanied him to the Middle East and how did he obtain a passport?
 
Who financed their travel and expenses to Turkey and Jordan? 

Where did he obtain "firearm and other training to prepare for armed conflict in the Middle East, who are the "others" he trained with, how many are there and who paid for the training?

How many more "Bells" and "others" are plotting to bring jihad to America?

These are questions which must be answered and made public so that we as a nation can protect ourselves from the Muslim invasion.

Thankfully, the Feds seem to have had a good handle on this jihadis activities and stopped him before he and his accomplices killed anyone.  But this begs the question, can the feds keep up with the explosion of Muslim converts bent on jihad?

Florida teen faces charges of helping terrorists following visit to Middle East

By Associated Press,

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Florida teen accused of traveling to the Middle East to train with terrorists is facing federal charges.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tampa announced Thursday that a grand jury has indicted Shelton Thomas Bell, 19, of Jacksonville, on charges of conspiring and attempting to provide material support to terrorists. He faces up to 15 years in prison for each of the two charges.

According to the indictment, Bell had planned to travel to the Arabian Peninsula and join Ansar Al-Sharia, which is an alias for al-Qaida there. The group has taken responsibility for multiple attacks on Yemeni forces, including a suicide bombing during a parade in May 2012, which killed more than 100 Yemeni soldiers. The group has also claimed credit for a series of armed assaults in March 2012, killing more than 100 people, including Yemeni soldiers.

A woman who answered the door at one of Bell’s last known addresses in a small, rural neighborhood in Jacksonville said she was his mother and that his lawyer had advised her not to talk. Asked if she had any indication of what led to the charges, she said, “None at all.”

Investigators reported that Bell and others between May and September 2012 engaged in physical, firearm and other training to prepare for armed conflict in the Middle East. Bell is also accused of soliciting others, including young people, to travel overseas with him to train.
