Terror suspects met at California mosque

(Riverside Press-Enterprise) A man who prayed at the same mosque as one of the Inland terrorism suspects said even though he viewed Arifeen David Gojali as “a good person,” he hoped he is sent to jail if he really was plotting to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

“Muslim or not Muslim, he should go to jail” if he is guilty, said Gamal Atia, who has worshipped at Masjid al-Sabireen Cham American Muslim Community in downtown Pomona for 11 years.

Atia, 55, of Pomona, said he regularly saw Gojali pray at the mosque with his parents and brother. They never made extremist comments, he said.
