THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The arsenal of semi-automatic weapons was for recreation only, a Franklin Township man told a U.S. district judge in Columbus yesterday.

And the pipe bombs? Abdullah M. Muslim said he'd removed them from his neighborhood streets and kept them so others couldn't use them. snip

He came to the attention of the Violent Crime Impact Team, led by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, when Franklin Township police were called to his house at 1851 Eastfield Dr. in November 2008.

His wife, Aisha, had shot herself in the foot while cleaning an AK-47 semiautomatic rifle, Watson said. snip

Edwards said Muslim changed his name from Johnnie P. Clagg after converting to Islam in the 1990s.
