Use of "على أحد" and "المنابزات" (two questions)
First question:

What does المنابزات mean? I looked up "ن ب ز" in Hans Wehr but all I can guess is "nicknames" or maybe "slander".

Second question:

In the context of the anti-Mulsim sentiment in the US after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, what does this phrase mean? (mainly the use of "احد"):
!هذا ما جناه علي ابن لادن، وما جنيت على أحد - This is what Bin Laden inflicted on me, and what was inflicted on __!
