US Attorney General Eric Holder speaks during a press conference at the Department of Justice in Washington, DC, August 5, 2010, as he announces that fourteen US citizens have been arrested for seeking to join the Al-Qaeda-linked Somalia group Shebab. Holder said four separate indictments unsealed in various locations charge the 14 'with terrorism violations for providing money, personnel, and services' to the group, which has claimed responsibility for deadly attacks in Uganda last month.
