South Carolina Car Bomb?

What's wrong with this picture (h/t Hugh Hewitt):
Two men are being held in the Berkeley County Detention Center after police find explosive making devices in their car. The quantity of explosive making materials in that vehicle is unclear. The FBI (website) reports that there is no known link to terrorism. The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office believes that among materials in the car's trunk were a bomb and bomb making materials that include chemicals, fuses, and igniters. The men 21-year-old Yousef Megahed and 24-year-old Ahmed Mohamed were pulled over Saturday evening during a routine traffic stop near Myers Road and Highway 176. Few details about the suspects are known at this time. They are believed to be students at a Florida college. They are of Middle Eastern descent and are not US citizens. Neither man has been charged, but charges are expected Monday. A press conference will be held in Berkeley County on Monday morning.

Let's see, two 20-something men of Middle Eastern descent are driving around with bomb materials in their car, BUT THERE'S NO KNOWN LINK TO TERRORISM?? Granted, maybe they may haven't yet connected the dots and hooked these guys up with a formal organization, but a terrorist attack doesn't require a group with a charter and a secret handshake. There's something going on there that ain't exactly kosher.
