New York (CNN) -- Two of the three suspects believed to be involved in a potential 9/11 anniversary plot against New York or Washington are of Arab descent and traveled to the United States last week, according to a U.S. government official.
Authorities are operating under the assumption that two of the suspects have arrived on U.S. soil, and have been piecing together clues gleaned from flight logs and manifests, among other sources, said the official, who declined to be named.
A third plotter is believed to be have traveling in Europe, though it is not clear whether that person has arrived in the United States, the official said.
American spy networks had intercepted communications of an attack from an al Qaeda operative in Pakistan, derived from a source who has provided accurate information in the past, official say.

Hi,
It is no secret that American borm Muslims have went abroad to study Islam. Yes, some of these might be
radicalized already - What they learn is a message of hatred. Are all Muslims in the country potential terrorists? Absolutely not! It shocks the evangelical right when they learn that Jesus is mentioned in the Quran more times than Mohammed and that Muslims worship the same God of Abraham that they do.
But, yes - American Muslims trained by al-Qaeda present very significant threat.
