On 29 July 2004, state troopers in Iowa, USA, arrested an American Muslim
on suspicion of terrorist activity. Among the incriminating evidence found
in his possession, according to them, were "numerous pages of literature
and documents with Arabic printing". He is now being held without bail.

If you are travelling in America, be careful what literature you are
carrying.
