    Levar Haley Washington, 28, admitted committing seditious conspiracy and using a firearm to further that conspiracy. He faces up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced in April.

    Another man, Kevin James, was also expected to plea guilty to a terrorism charge. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

    The plot was hatched in prison and that James, Washington and two others were a cell of radical Muslims planning attacks on military facilities, synagogues and other sites in the Los Angeles area. James even prepared a press release that the men planned to send out after an attack.

    Police uncovered the plot while investigating gas station robberies that authorities say were committed to finance the attacks.

    Also indicted in the case were Gregory Vernon Patterson and Hammad Riaz Samana. Samana is a Pakistani national, while the others are U.S.-born Muslim converts. [AP]

    It is a well known fact that inmates in prisons are actively pursed to convert to Islam. Muslim Chaplains such as Abdur Rashid, Imam of the Mosque of the Islamic Brotherhood in Harlem is a NYC Prison Chaplain. His Mosque’s website has the pledge of the Muslim Brotherhood on its home page. Unless this dangerous trend is stopped we can expect many more occurences such as the Santa Ana, Ca. incident.
