The Virginia Jihad Network
Prior to al-Tamimi's prosecution, 11 male Muslim members of the so-called Virginia Jihad Network, all but one from the Washington area, were indicted on a number of charges related to their participation in a terrorist enterprise. Nine members of the group were convicted of participating in paramilitary training to prepare for "holy war " abroad that included paint guns as well as using and possessing various firearms, rocket propelled grenades and explosives. Tamimi was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in that case.

Famous quotes containing the word network:
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
