A 26 year old New Jersey man is being held in Yemen. He is accused of killing a guard as he was trying to break out of a hospital.

Sharif Mobley was born and raised in Buena, New Jersey. He moved to Yemen about two years ago according to a previous neighbor.

Mobley was among a group of al-Qaida terrorist suspects taken into custody this month in part of a security move in the capital city of Yemen. He was brought to the hospital when he complained of being sick. He stole a gun from a security guard killing one and wounding one.

Mobley joins a growing list of Americans becoming al-Qaida terrorists. The last one being Jihad Jane who resided in Pennsylvania for many years. Colleen Larose had terroristic charges against her recently. Larose was also born in the United States.

Pleas come from Mobley’s father Charles Mobley stating is son is not a terrorist. Like any parent Charles claims it could not be his son.

Mobley is being held in Yemen on many charges. He is associated with the group that attempted the Detroit plane bombing. He is being charged with murder of a security guard and other pending charges.
