On Thursday, 11 suspects were arrested in Maryland, including nine illegal immigrants from Pakistan.

Saifullah Ranjha, one of the defendants, was also charged with attempting to finance the al Qaeda.

Culminating a concerted assault on what he described as the injustices and oppressions practiced by the "big powers" since World War II, he said that the ungodly era of lewdness and violence was coming to a close and that "the age of monotheism has commenced." The world was "nearing the sunset of the time of empires," he said, and urged the dominant world powers to eschew their "obedience to Satan" and "submit to the will of god."
