Texas: Suspect in taxi holdup cites ‘terror cell’

Ali Abdullal Mayberry, 29
A man accused of robbing a taxi driver at gunpoint, then fleeing from another cab stopped for a traffic violation, said he was trying to recruit the second driver into his terror cell, police said.
Ali Abdullal Mayberry, 29, was taken into custody late Wednesday and is being held at Bexar County Jail on one count of aggravated robbery. A judge set bail at $50,000.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, a taxi driver on Jan. 10 went to pick up a fare in the 10300 block of Royal Estate, where he had driven Mayberry the morning before. Mayberry did not have enough money and said he would call the driver for a ride again and pay both fares, the affidavit said, but he robbed the driver at gunpoint the next night.
Three days later, he was in another taxi when it was pulled over by an officer for a traffic violation. He left his gun in the backseat and ran but got caught, the affidavit states. Mayberry said he was trying to recruit the driver into his terror cell, but fled in fear of the driver’s own terror cell.
Is Ali Abdullal just a criminal with a lame alibi? Or was a terror-linked individual released on bail?
