A 44- year- old Black Muslim arrested yesterday in Central Virginia on weapons violations may have ties to a terrorist cell

Vincente (vin-CEN-tay) Raphael Pierre was indicted Tuesday in a seven count firearms conspiracy.
Yesterday the 44- year- old suspect was arrested at a Muslim commune near the Charlotte County community of Red House. Pierre appeared before a U-S Magistrate in Roanoke this afternoon and pled NOT guilty. The indictment charges Pierre's common- law wife bought a 45- caliber pistol for him from the Outpost, a licensed gun dealer in Appomattox County.
As a convicted felon, Pierre is prohibited from owning a gun. While they're looking at possible connections, so far, law enforcement officials say they have found no direct link between Pierre and last week's terrorist attacks.

And he says men should know their risk factors for the disease.
A man with a father or brother with the disease has twice the risk for getting it.And if has three close relatives with the prostate cancer he has a 97 percent chance he will develop the disease.
Race is another factor. African American men are 35 to 50 percent more likely to get prostate cancer. And twice as likely as Caucasian men to die from it. And a man's chances of getting the disease increase rapidly after 50.
Peterson's says recuperating isn't quick .. or easy.
