“A tipster to the FBI provided information that TANIOS and KHATER knew each other and grew up together in New Jersey.”
the police officer they are accused of injuring and who subsequently died is also from New Jersey.
complaint/affadavit signed March 6. Released today, March 15. wonder what the seemingly extended delay in release is about
maybe this: “Khater - *who was arrested when he stepped off a plane at Newark Liberty Airport* - and Tanios both also grew up in New Jersey.”

Two men working in healthy acai bowl and sandwich businesses, who reportedly knew each other from New Jersey, accused of a conspiracy to injure a police officer, also from NJ, and who subsequently died. washingtonian.com/2021/03/15/san… centredaily.com/news/business/…
not sure from their names if they are of Lebanese or Syrian (Maronite Christian) heritage.
“Khater and Tanios grew up together in New Brunswick, N.J., the children of Lebanese immigrants before both left to manage fast-food franchises in other states.” inquirer.com/news/brian-sic…
The fallen officer, Brian Sicknick, was a “42-year-old military vet and President Donald Trump supporter who was originally from East Brunswick, NJ — which is next to New Brunswick, where childhood pals Khater and Tanios grew up.” nypost.com/2021/03/15/two…
