Home-grown terror suspect worked at south Jersey nuke plants
A spokesman for a group of nuclear power plants in south Jersey says a man charged in Yemen with being a member of al-Qaida had previously worked at the plants. PSEG Nuclear spokesman Joe Delmar says Sharif Mobley worked as a laborer for several contractors at its three plants on Artificial Island in Lower Alloways Creek from 2002 to 2008 carrying supplies and doing maintenance work. Delmar says he satisfied federal background checks as recently as 2008. He says that the 26-year-old Mobley, who grew up in Buena and graduated from the Regional High School, also worked at other plants in the region. Delmar says plant officials are cooperating with authorities. Yemeni officials confirmed that Mobley is in custody.
