Farooque Ahmed has been arrested for plotting an attack on the Washington D.C. subway system. Federal investigators say they are investigating a possible plot for a series of terrorist bombings at Washington Metro system stations. Authorities have arrested Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, Va., a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Pakistan, who attracted the attention of law enforcement by attempting to obtain unspecified materials, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Officials say they believe Ahmed conceived the plot and intended to carry it out on his own, although it is not known how far he proceeded in his preparations, the Post said.

Federal officials conducting a sting operation asked Ahmed to conduct video surveillance, gathering material he later turned over to federal undercover agents he believed to be connected to al-Qaida.

Unlike U.S. citizens implicated in other recent terror plots, Ahmed does not appear to have received overseas training from al-Qaida or any other terrorist group, sources told the Post.

Adnan Farooq Ahmed (Urdu: عدنان فاروق احمد; born 7 June 1984) is a professional footballer. Ahmed is a British Asian of Pakistani descent. Because of his Pakistani parentage he is eligible to represent Pakistan at an international level.

Early life

Ahmed was born in Burnley and lived in Barnoldswick, Lancashire during his early life, attending Moorland School in Clitheroe.[1]

Club career

Huddersfield Town

Initially part of Bury youth academy, as well as a two year stint at Manchester United Academy afterwards, Ahmed chose to join Huddersfield Town where he turned professional.

Despite making a few appearances for the club in league and cup competitions since turning professional, Ahmed's career has been hampered by persistent injury troubles.

Ahmed has the unfortunate distinction of being the very first player to be sent off at the Keepmoat Stadium, the new home of Doncaster Rovers. He was shown the red card for a two footed challenge on Rovers' Mark McCammon, the scorer of the very first goal in the stadium during Huddersfield's 3-0 defeat on 1 January 2007.

In January 2007, Ahmed went to Lincoln City, who had shown an interest in him, on a one week trial with Huddersfield manager Peter Jackson saying "It will be a good experience for him and will hopefully make him appreciate what he's got here".[2] However, no deal was done between the clubs and as a result the player returned to Huddersfield.

On 9 May 2007, he was released from the club.

Tranmere Rovers

On 25 May 2007, it was announced that Ahmed had joined Tranmere Rovers side on a free transfer, becoming manager Ronnie Moore's first summer signing of 2007.[3][4] He made his debut coming on as a substitute in the 2nd half at home in a 1-1 draw with Yeovil Town on 1 September 2007. However, competition for places in midfield saw him make just five further appearances during his debut season with the club.

Because of lack any real first team opportunities, Ahmed went on loan to Conference National side Mansfield Town at the end of October 2008, making his first team debut in a 2-0 defeat away to Torquay United on 1 November 2008. He became an instant hit with the Mansfield fans scoring a penalty in the 3-0 win against Salisbury City, also scoring a diving header against Weymouth to set up a 2-1 victory. Following his return to Tranmere, he joined Port Vale on trial.[5] He went on loan to Vale on 21 January 2009.[6] Ahmed opened his account with the Valiants by scoring the match winner in a 2-0 win at Macclesfield Town on 25 February 2009. He returned to Tranmere in late March after Vale manager Dean Glover rejected the opportunity to extend his loan,[7] despite impressing fans with his performances.

Ferencváros TC

In July 2009, having impressed coaching staff during pre-season trial matches at Hungarian team Ferencváros TC, Ahmed signed a two year deal with the team to play in Hungarian National Championship I[8]. He played his first competitive game for the team in a 2-0 win over Diósgyőri VTK in the 2009-10 Hungarian League Cup on 29 July 2009. After one season, he was released from the team having played a total of 20 games in all competitions with 1 goal in a 4-2 win against Kecskeméti TE in the Hungarian League Cup on 23 September 2009.

In July 2010 he went on trial at Scottish Premier League side Aberdeen, but was not offered a contract.[9]

FC Aboomoslem

In September 2010, after taking part in training sessions and trials, Adnan was given a one-year contract with Mashhad-based Iranian club Aboomoslem[10] for the 2010–11 Azadegan League season. He made his first team debut in a 1-0 home win over Iranjavan F.C. on 7th October 2010.

International career

Ahmed received his first formal call up to the Pakistan national football team squad for their World Cup 2010 preliminaries against Iraq on 22 October 2007 in Lahore, where he made his debut in a hefty 7-0 loss, and 28 October 2007 for the return leg in Aleppo, Syria[11][12] which surprisingly finished goal-less between the two sides, although Iraq went through the next round on aggregate scores. Adnan scored his first goal for Pakistan in a humiliating 7-1 loss against Sri Lanka in the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers. Ahmed took part in the 2008 SAFF Cup where he scored a goal against arch-rivals India in a disappointing 2-1 loss and ended Pakistan's chances of going past the group stage. Ahmed scored two goals in 2010 AFC Challenge Cup against Taiwan 1-1 draw and against Brunei 6-0 but in end they finished as 2nd and could not qualify for 2010 AFC Challenge Cup.He showed very good performance and skill.

Ahmed also took part in the 2009 SAFF Cup hosted by Bangladesh, but it was again disappointment as Pakistan crashed out in the group stages once again; Ahmed playing two games in which he missed a late crucial penalty in the 0-1 loss against Sri Lanka.
