Men arrested in Ohio cell phone case see paranoia over terrorism

Two Arab-American men originally charged with supporting terrorism after buying large numbers of cell phones are planning to return to college this fall. Prosecutors in Ohio dropped the terror charges saying they couldn\'t prove a terrorism link. The men, Ali Houssaiky and Osama Sabhi Abulhassan, say their experience should draw attention to the nation\'s fear and paranoia about terrorism and they hope law enforcement and the media won\'t be as swift to label Arab-Americans as terrorists in the future. Houssaiky is noted as returning to Wayne State University.
