Steven Emerson Predicts More Al Qaeda Arrests in U.S. and Discusses "Second Wave" of Al Qaeda in U.S. With Walid Phares

By Andrew Cochran

In an interview this morning on the Fox News Channel about the arrests of the two Al Qaeda sympathizers, Contributing Expert Steven Emerson said that "there are a lot more people like this unfortunately within the militant Islamic community than the U.S. Government wants to admit at this point." He went on with an unsettling forecast: "So there's a much larger or larger conspiracy here. So I think we're going to see other arrests in the near future." Steve and Contributing Expert Walid Phares discussed Al Qaeda's presence in South Florida on television there. Steven Emerson: "Al-Qaida has had a presence in South Florida and continues to have a presence." Walid Phares: "The first wave that did 9/11 had a presence here...The second wave will be more dangerous than the first wave because it is a piece of our society, people who've been recruited by al-Qaida and recruited themselves to al-Qaida. This model may be duplicated in many places in South Florida and around the nation."
