WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A naturalized U.S. citizen and Muslim activist has been arrested for unauthorized visits to Libya and for violating sanctions against the North African nation, according to court documents released on Monday.

Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi, who was arrested at Dulles International Airport on Sunday as he returned to the United States from London, was ordered detained by a magistrate judge in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.

FBI Assistant Director Michael Mason described it as "an important arrest" and said al-Amoudi "has been under investigation for some time."

According to an affidavit filed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent, law enforcement officials raided al-Amoudi's house in Virginia in March as part of an investigation into financing of terrorist groups.

1. Internment this time will be called "Operation Secure Shelter"

It will be presented as enhanced security, to protect Muslims from attacks by unbalanced individuals or those who are not aware that the regime has repeatedly denied that it is mounting a crusade against Islam.

The majority of the voting class will acknowledge that with so many nutcases out there, it probably is best for all concerned, but a damn shame that it is necessary.

This site will have a small flurry of posts about how sad it is, and a few will express uncomfortable feelings at seeing neighbors and colleagues led away, but most will agree that "bothered" is too strong a word.
