Texas Terror Suspect Grew Up In New Hampshire And Went To Massachusetts Mosque

A man accused of training with al-Qaida and planning to overthrow the government in Somalia grew up in Pelham, New Hampshire, and converted to Islam at a mosque in Methuen, Massachusetts.

Now 28-year-old Daniel Maldonado is facing federal terrorism charges in Houston, Texas, that could earn him a life sentence in prison.

Maldonado went to Pelham High School before dropping out his junior year. Police remember him as getting into trouble for loud parties and traffic violations, but no serious crimes. His high school principal remembers him as outspoken about politics, but not much of a student.

In his early twenties, Maldonado began attending a mosque in Methuen. Friends there say he became increasingly fundamentalist in his views and left the mosque after the imam asked him to stop criticizing other worshipers.

He went to Houston for a few months, then moved to Egypt with his wife and three children before going to Somalia late last year.

A Houston newspaper says his wife died and his children are now living with grandparents in New England.
