Miami 7 guilty of "wish crime."


"There was no threat."

FBI: Sears Tower targeted Chicago Tribune:

"The men, who told neighbors in the Liberty City area of Miami that they were starting a children's karate class at a warehouse, had been plotting for an undetermined amount of time, but their scheme was thwarted well before any attack could be carried out.

'They talked about belonging to an Islamic army. They wanted to raise an army in the U.S.,' a second senior law-enforcement official said Thursday. 'But they didn't have the means to do this.'

'There was no threat at all,' the senior federal law-enforcement source said, referring to the Sears Tower. Chicago police said the city is not on increased alert despite the news."
