Mohamed Mamdouh, NYC Terror Plot Suspect, Says He Is Innocent

NEW YORK ? One of the two men accused of plotting to bomb a New York City synagogue proclaimed his innocence in a jailhouse interview and blamed his legal troubles on being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Terror suspect Mohamed Mamdouh told the New York Daily News in an interview published Saturday that he wasn't involved in the reputed plot by his co-defendant, Ahmed Ferhani, who he described as a drinking buddy and casual acquaintance, rather than a friend.

"I don't have problems with anyone. Not Jews, not anyone," he said Friday. The 20-year-old told the newspaper that Ferhani "was the one who was talking about all the weapons and everything else."

"I never spoke about guns and blowing things up, either," Mamdouh said. "That was him. It was all his idea. I had nothing to do with any of it."

The two New Yorkers were arrested Wednesday after Ferhani was caught in a police sting trying to buy guns, ammunition and a hand grenade. Police and prosecutors said they laid the trap after an undercover investigator who had befriended the pair recorded Ferhani talking attacking a city synagogue and maybe the Empire State Building.

In his interview at the city's Rikers Island jail complex, Mamdouh told the Daily News it all stemmed from a day when he, Ferhani and the undercover officer were hanging out, watching a British documentary about ultra-nationalist Jewish settlers in the Palestinian territories.

"I was drunk," Mamdouh said. "We had a conversation after the movie was over ... It was just a conversation. It was not serious."

He told the newspaper that Ferhani "has anger issues," and "gets mad and says things," but said he didn't believe he would ever actually kill anyone.

Through his lawyer, Ferhani has also said he was innocent of any terror plot.

The two are facing the possibility of life in prison.

Nick Cannon Addresses Mariah Carey ?Drinking & Drugs? While Breastfeeding Rumor

Nick Cannon said a social worker visited new mom Mariah Carey in the hospital this week regarding possible allegations of drug use and drinking. On Thursday?s Piers Morgan Tonight, Cannon said someone called child protective services after Carey followed a nurse?s suggestion to drink a small amount of dark beer to help with breast-feeding.

?I guess someone maybe overheard that [suggestion], and this is a good way to make a quick buck, or call the tabloids,? he suggested. ?It?s kind of sad that people think that we?ll make money off of these newborns.?

?Then they were saying that my wife was drinking beer and all that stuff. It?s like people would do anything to conjure up a story,? said Cannon. ?It is frustrating, but you got to have to understand this is something you have to deal with. It is sad that people have to go to those lengths,? he added.

Carey gave birth to the twins on April 30. She and the babies remain in the hospital

Watch Nick, seen her yesterday (May 12) in New York City, talk about the allegations?

@Nabz1137 Excuse me! JLS were a group A YEAR before the X Factor so don?t be an ass and call them ?a manufactured group?! And do you realise that Dappy?s DAD was the one who made them famous and that?s why their album was called ?Uncle B?. And don?t use the sob story of rough kids- they chose to be in gangs and smoke shit! So both of them would be ?nobodys? so screw you!

Even though im a jls fan also i do agree that, N Dubz have done everything on their own merit they didnt need a show like xfactor to make them famous if JLS hadn?t come on there they still would be ?nobody?s? and plus N dubz do everything themselves writing right down lyrics to the music and they completely turned their life around from rough kids on the street to platinum album performers

Obama accepts resignation of U.S. Middle East envoy Mitchell

WASHINGTON -- Former Sen. George Mitchell announced his resignation Friday as the President Barack Obama's special envoy to the Middle East at a time of turmoil in the region and after fruitless attempts at rekindling Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

In a two-paragraph letter to Obama, Mitchell said that he took the diplomatic job intending to serve only two years. "I strongly support your vision of comprehensive peace in the Middle East and thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of your administration," Mitchell wrote.

Obama accepted the resignation from a man he called "a tireless advocate for peace."

Mitchell's resignation comes at a critical time for the Middle East, which is embroiled in uprisings; and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, which has been moribund since last September and now is further complicated by an agreement between Palestinian factions to share power in territory they control.

Mitchell's resignation appears to have been timed to match Obama's increased public focus on the region. The president will deliver a speech next Thursday at the State Department about his administration's views of developments in the region, ahead of a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Obama also will play host to Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday. Mitchell's last day will be May 20 -- the same day Netanyahu visits the White House.

The White House also was looking to schedule a speech by Obama to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee before he leaves for Europe May 22, officials said.

David Hale, Mitchell's deputy, will serve as acting envoy, Obama said in a statement.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said the administration remains focused on reviving Middle East peace negotiations.

"The president's commitment remains as firm as it was when he took office," Carney said. "This is a hard issue, an extraordinarily hard issue."

On his second full day in office in January 2009, Obama appointed Mitchell to the special envoy's post amid much fanfare. The former Democratic senator from Maine, who rose to be Senate majority leader, had established his credentials as an international mediator by helping broker peace in Northern Ireland. As such, he brought an outsize profile to one of the most intractable diplomatic undertakings in the Israeli-Palestinian impasse.

Since his appointment, Mitchell, 77, has spent much of his time shuttling among the Israelis, Palestinians and friendly Arab states in a bid to restart long-stalled peace talks that would create an independent Palestinian state. But in recent months, particularly after the upheaval in Arab countries that ousted longtime U.S. ally and key peace partner Hosni Mubarak from power in Egypt, his activity had slowed markedly.

What's more Mitchell never established a firm presence, preferring to jet in for short visits lasting several days, or even several hours.

More critically, Mitchell never established a rapport with either side.

With Israelis suspicious of Obama even before he assumed office, Mitchell further unnerved them by taking a tough line against West Bank settlements, saying that any construction was unacceptable. The Palestinians, initially encouraged, became disillusioned when the U.S. was unable to persuade Israel to freeze settlement construction, and Mitchell lost credibility with the Palestinians.

Partisans also blamed each other for Mitchell's inability to bring the sides together.

Nimer Hamad, a senior adviser to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, told the AP that Mitchell's job had been made more difficult by Israeli intransigence.

"Mitchell hasn't been in the region in three months," Hamad said. "Whether he resigns or not, it's clear that Mitchell wasn't in the region because he didn't see the possibility of being a mediator between two sides where one of them is not responsive."

AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby, issued a statement criticizing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, citing his "unwillingness to negotiate directly with his Israeli counterpart without preconditions." AIPAC also denounced Abbas's secular Fatah movement for signing a reconciliation deal with Hamas, the Islamic militant group that governs the Gaza Strip, rather than make peace with Israel.

Jon Alterman, director of the Middle East program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Mitchell's task held greater hope at the time of his appointment.

"But the way the politics worked out, you have an Israeli government that is very skeptical about the ability of negotiating with the Palestinian Authority," Alterman said. "And you have a Palestinian Authority where the internal politics are increasingly fraught.

"So it's hard to find a political consensus either among the Israelis or the Palestinians to move forward on the kinds of negotiations that George Mitchell was appointed to facilitate."

Mitchell believed his patience would serve him well in the Arab-Israeli conflict and its constant forward and backward steps. Speaking of the Northern Ireland conflict, he once said: "I formed the conviction that there is no such thing as a conflict that can't be ended. Conflicts are created, conducted and sustained by human beings. They can be ended by human beings."

Israeli analyst Yossi Alpher, former director of the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University, said Mitchell's departure could signal a different approach by the Obama administration.

"His methods just didn't work here," Alpher said. "The Northern Ireland method of listen, listen and listen doesn't work here."

Nabil Shaath, a leading Palestinian negotiator, suggested the resignation was not so much a blow to the peace effort as a reflection of its failure; and that should conditions change, the identity of the mediator was not key.

"Mitchell hadn't received enough support from the U.S. administration to make a breakthrough in the peace process. He is a positive man, he is a great man and he is my friend," Shaath said. "But Mitchell can be replaced when the U.S. administration is ready. There is no possibility for a mediator to work without the needed support and pressure from the administration on Israel."

Mitchell served in the Senate as a Democrat from Maine from 1980 to 1995, the final six years as majority leader. In 2000-01, he headed a fact-finding committee on Middle East violence that called for commitments by Israel and the Palestinian Authority to end their fighting immediately and unconditionally. The panel urged a cooling-off period and other steps toward peace, but it did not lead to lasting results.

Mitchell also led the 2007 investigation into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in major league baseball. Before that, he was chairman of The Walt Disney Co. from 2004-2006.
