Federal law enforcement officers are trying to determine whether they have uncovered a network of Al Qaeda supporters in Northern California.

Two law enforcement sources have confirmed that there is a connection between Umer and Hamid Hayat, the father and son arrested over the weekend in Lodi, Calif., on criminal charges, and two Pakistani citizens currently being held on immigration violations. Lodi is an agricultural community 40 miles south of Sacramento.

The son allegedly received terrorist training and funding from the father, an ice cream truck driver, so he could carry out attacks on hospitals and large food stores in the United States.

Hamid Hayat, 22, and his father, Umer Hayat, 47, are charged with lying to authorities about the son’s alleged training at an Al Qaeda camp in 2003 and 2004 and money sent for training. Charges for terrorism could come soon.
