Dearborn surprised by arrests of two men

Stories in these newspapers about two Dearborn men being held by authorities in Ohio for money laundering in support of terrorist activities mention that one of the men arrested is a student at Wayne State . The Marietta Times story indicates that the man was studying physical therapy at WSU but is not currently enrolled. The Free Press story cites a defense attorney who indicates the man is studying at WSU to become a history teacher. A lawyer for the men contends the police in the Ohio town where they were arrested have blown the incident out of proportion.
