Feds: Michigan man was trained bomb maker for terror group

DETROIT — One week after the FBI raided a Michigan home in the middle of the night, a new terrorism case surfaced in New York on Thursday involving two men: a Dearborn, Mich., man who allegedly received bomb-making training from a terror group and another man who allegedly plotted attacks on New York.

Samer el Debek, 37, of Dearborn, and Ali Kourani, 32, of the Bronx, N.Y., were arrested a week ago and charged with training and working on behalf of Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization based in Lebanon.

"FBI bomb technicians have assessed that el Debek received extensive training as a bomb-maker," the Justice Department stated.

The charges were unsealed in Manhattan federal court Thursday, one week after federal agents raided a Dearborn home in what they described as an operation involving national security.
