BUENA BOROUGH--Federal sources have confirmed that a man from Buena is in custody in the Middle East, and they say he's believed to be an Al-Qaeda militant who's accused of going on a deadly rampage.

"We don't know nothing, we're trying to hear something," said Charles Mobley. Those were the only words he would share on camera about his son, 26 year-old Sharif Mobley. Federal sources have confirmed the 2002 Buena Regional High School graduate is currently in custody in the Middle East, suspected of being an Al-Qaeda militant.

"I remember him from high school," said Dawn Bass, "he was just outgoing, he wanted to be, like the center of attention. He was a nice kid."

Which is why those who knew him are shocked to learn that reports from the Middle East say Mobley was recently arrested with several others in Yemen, for allegedly plotting attack for Al-Qaeda. But that's not all, accordingto those reports, Mobley, who was apparently hospitalized in Yemen's capital for an unknown reason, allegedly killed a police guard and seriously wounded another over the weekend, in a failed attempt to escape. "It's shocking," said Bass, "I wouldn't expect anybody that I graduated with to do something like that."

Mobley's mother didn't want to speak on camera, but told us that the accusations are completely false and that her son is not a terrorist. "I haven't talked to him or seen him in a couple of years," said Bass, "anything can happen, people change so quickly, and this world, it's just a crazy place anymore. It's really scary."

Mobley's mother who spoke to us inside her Buena home says the last time she spoke to her son, it was late January, and he was in Yemen. While she does confirm that they were recently visited by the FBI, she says her son is an excellent person who's never been in trouble and is a good Muslim.

Officially, the FBI will not comment on the case, but sources say federal investigators have an interest in Mobley and are waiting for more information to come out of Yemen.
