I beg to differ on whether this was a terrorist cell or not. The definition of terrorism: 1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
From the most recent article that my original link points to:
The group’s primary mission is to establish a separate sovereign Islamic state governed by Sunni law, according to FBI charging documents. Abdullah called his followers to an offensive jihad, rather than a defensive jihad, according to the FBI.
The documents also said the group was financing its version of Islam by fencing stolen goods and that Abdullah was interested in killing federal agents and making a bomb.
While it may not be linked to a Middle Eastern terrorist group, it's still terrorism, just as Terry Nichols and the others who performed the OK City were. Homegrown terrorists, but terrorists nonetheless.
