Hi,
I have kept an eye out for what God has shown me about the borders. There was a news clip on Fox's "Happening Now"
today that I can't find to on the web to send you, but what it said was that Mexican drug Cartel are infiltrating our Custom
and Border protection agents.
They approach border personel to turn them to their side. More violence is in Mexico. It said that over 1,600 have died
just in the past two months in drug related violence there. As the Government cracks down there that we will have more
border infiltration problems here. When I saw the stirring of the borders earlier, I was thinking Mexico, but it was not
limited to that, as I asked God. That is why I didn't just say Mexico.
There is another story out about a man who is a US citizen linked to Al-qaeda that worked at several Power plants. They
were talking about how Alqaeda is recruiting more nonthreatening seeming people. These things are things God would
like us to be aware of, that's why he showed the stirring. To pray for our borders. People crossing especially missionaries.
Pray that our border guards will be those with character and not give in to bribes or threats. Pray for our young mens
minds in this country not to be given to the lies of the enemy. And be on guard now that you are aware for things are not
always what they seem. Don't let paranoia set in, let God set in your mind, His reasoning. Our spirit will lead us to Know
if will follow God closely. He will guide and protect us.
God Bless
-Connie

Al Qaeda Suspect Worked at U.S. Nuclear Plants Friday, March 12, 2010 * Roman Castro via AP * * *An American
charged in Yemen with being a member of Al Qaeda had worked at nuclear power plants in the U.S., a spokesman for
a group of plants in New Jersey said Thursday. But a state official said the man did not breach security there.* Sharif
Mobley, a 26-year-old natural-born U.S. citizen, was arrested in Yemen earlier this month and is accused of killing a
guard in an attempt to break out of a hospital.
The FBI, the State Department and other authorities said they were trying to gather information about Mobley. But
the allegations appeared to illustrate a phenomenon U.S. intelligence officials have warned about: American Muslims
becoming radicalized and joining terrorist movements overseas. Mobley was identified by Yemeni officials as a Somali-
American. Mobley moved to Yemen about two years ago, supposedly to learn Arabic and study Islam, a former neighbor
said.
Before that, Mobley worked for several contractors at three nuclear power plants in New Jersey from 2002 to 2008,
PSE&G Nuclear spokesman Joe Delmar said. Mobley carried supplies and did maintenance work at the plants on
Artificial Island in Lower Alloways Creek, and worked at other plants in the region as well. He satisfied federal
background checks as recently as 2008, Delmar said, adding that the plant is cooperating with authorities. Mike
Drewniak, a spokesman for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, said that his office had been told that Mobley was always
supervised, caused no problems and was not believed to have breached security at the plants. It's unclear whether
Mobley worked at any of the region's other power plants.
Joe Szafran, a spokesman for Exelon Corp., which owns nuclear plants at three facilities in eastern Pennsylvania,
referred questions to the FBI. While some acquaintances were startled by the news out of the Middle East on Thursday,
a former classmate said that Mobley had strong religious views in high school, often trying to convert friends to Islam,
and became increasingly radical, especially after they graduated in 2002. Roman Castro, 25, who did a tour with the
Army in Iraq, said the last time he saw Mobley, about four years ago, Mobley yelled, "Get the hell away from me, you
Muslim killer!"
Classmates who graduated with Mobley from Buena Regional High School in 2002 expressed shock at both his suspected
Al Qaeda ties and his deadly escape attempt in Yemen. Dawn Bass said she was "shocked" to learn of the allegations,
adding that Mobley had been known as a friendly "sweetheart" in high school. "He was always showing off in the back of
the classroom doing his karate moves and stuff," Bass told FoxNews.com. "But he was just a regular kid, he was always
talking to everybody ? he was not shy." Mobley's mother, meanwhile, told WMGM-TV the accusations are false but did
say that when she last spoke to her son in late January he was in Yemen.
She said the FBI had visited her for questioning but insisted her son has never been in trouble and is a good Muslim.
Mobley's father, Charles, said the family was waiting for further information. "We don't know nothing, we're trying to hear
something," Charles Mobley told WMGM-TV. An FBI spokesman did not immediately return a call, but a law enforcement
official told The Associated Press that authorities don't believe Mobley's job at the nuclear plant was related to his
activities in Yemen.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter. Also, Mohammed
Albasha, spokesman for the Yemeni Embassy in Washington, said there was no immediate connection between Mobley's
activities or capture in Yemen and his work at the plants. Mobley was arrested in Yemen in a roundup of suspected Al
Qaeda members this month and was being treated at a hospital in San'a when he got into a shootout with guards during
an escape attempt, killing one and wounding another, said Mohammed Albasha, spokesman for the Yemeni Embassy in
Washington. U.S. officials worry that Yemen is becoming the next significant terrorist staging ground because of signs
that lower-level Al Qaeda operatives have been moving into the country from the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region.
The Al Qaeda branch in Yemen was linked to the failed Christmas Day bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner. Also, Maj.
Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood last year, had
exchanged e-mails with an extremist cleric in Yemen. In response to the threat, the Pentagon has proposed spending
$150 million to help Yemen battle insurgents within its borders. Somali-Americans have become a particular concern to
American security officials. Young Somali-American men have been traveling from the U.S. to fight jihad in Somalia,
raising fears they are receiving terror training and returning to the U.S. ready to launch attacks. Americans are valuable
to terrorist groups, in part because they can travel easily, without arousing much suspicion. "The U.S. passport is the
gold standard," said Fred Burton, a former U.S. counterintelligence agent who is now a vice president at STRATFOR,
a global intelligence company in Austin, Texas. Mobley was among 11 Al Qaeda suspects detained this month in a
security sweep in San'a, the capital, officials said.
He was taken to the hospital over the weekend after he complained of feeling ill. He snatched a gun from a security
guard and shot him, then got into a shootout that ended with anti-police terrorism capturing him, authorities said. In
Yemen, killing a guard during an escape attempt could result in execution by a firing squad. Mobley graduated from
high school in 2002 in the rural southern New Jersey town of Buena, and afterward lived in Philadelphia and Newark,
Del. Castro said that in the past few years, Mobley organized religious pilgrimages to the Middle East for other Muslims.
Mobley's mother, Cynthia Mobley, told WMGM-TV in Atlantic City, N.J., that her son is "an excellent person who's never
been in trouble" and "a good Muslim." As his father, Charles Mobley, pulled out of the family's driveway on the way to
see a lawyer Thursday, he said: "I can tell you this: He's no terrorist." Abdel-Hadi Shehata, imam of the Islamic Society
of Delaware, said Mobley used to live one floor below him in an aging apartment complex in Newark and occasionally
visited the society's Newark mosque to pray. Shehata said Mobley, who had a wife and young daughter, moved to
Yemen about two years ago. "I think to learn Arabic or something like that ... and to learn more about the religion Islam,"
he said.
Shehata said Mobley never discussed politics or his religious views with him, but sometimes would ask his advice about
how to pray and how to cleanse himself. Marisa Porges, a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, said many Arabic
language scholars travel to Yemen to study the language because the dialect there is so useful. She said there is a risk
that even those who travel there to study can become radicalized. "It's often the case that their being there makes an
individual more vulnerable to radicalization," she said. Umar Hassan-El, assistant imam at the Islamic Society of
Delaware's mosque in Wilmington, Del., said he roomed with Mobley during a 2004 pilgrimage to Mecca. The worst
Mobley did, Hassan-El said, was forget to pick up his clothes or interrupt discussions among older Muslims. "He gave
no indication that he would join a group that he's alleged to be a part of right now," said Hassan-El. "I never heard that
boy ever talk about shooting anybody, killing anybody."
As a teenager, Mobley studied martial arts at Yi's Karate Institute in Sewell, N.J., earning his black belt after three years,
according to the master of the dojo, Chom Sam Kim. "He was very athletic, and had a good respect and attitude," Kim
said. Kim said he was surprised to hear the allegations against Mobley: "I never saw anything abnormal about him during
the time he was here." /FoxNews.com's Joshua Rhett Miller and The Associated Press contributed to this report
