A pilgrimage or preparation for a suicide plot

The wife of Daniel Boyd,

of being a terrorist ringleader, said the many trips the family made abroad, especially to Jerusalem, were pilgrimages to give her sons an exposure to the Arabic language and a chance to experience the daily rhythms of life in predominantly Muslim communities.

As to charges her family stockpiled military-style weapons, Boyd said her family enjoyed hunting and shooting. "They exercise their constitutional right to bear arms," she said.

Law enforcement sees it otherwise.

I would prefer not to judge these people until the evidence against them is presented. I'll merely state that I'm rather pleased that MY pilgrimages generally involve trips to Hawaii or various scenic spots in the Caribbean. Not much to be suspicious about in those places, eh?
