Feds: Somali-born teen plotted car-bombing in Ore.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Undercover agents in a sting operation stopped a Somali-born teenager from blowing up a van full of explosives at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland on Friday, federal authorities said.

The explosives were duds supplied by the agents and the public was never in danger, authorities said.

Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested at 5:40 p.m. just after he dialed a cell phone that he thought would detonate the explosives but instead brought federal agents and Portland police swooping down on him.

Yelling "Allahuh Akbar!" — Arabic for "God is great!" — Mohamud tried to kick agents and police as they closed in, according to prosecutors.

"The threat was very real," said Arthur Balizan, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon. "Our investigation shows that Mohamud was absolutely committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale,"

Muslim extremists really need a better PR firm. Surely there's a positive spin that could be put on this?
Earlier this month, Mohamud and the agents traveled to the Oregon backcountry and detonated a bomb as a trial run. On the drive back, the undercover officials asked Mohamud if he was capable of looking at the bodies of those killed, according to the federal documents.

"Mohamud responded, `I want whoever is attending that event to leave, to leave either dead or injured."'

He said he wanted to set off explosives at the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square, an event that occurred on Friday.

My take on this article is that Muslim extremists still want us dead. I don't like that.

Maybe we should set up checkpoints everywhere, including all interstates and other roads, to do full vehicle x-ray scans and strip searches.

Only then will we ever be safe from trrrrrristsssss.

The current policy of framing Muslims seems to be working for now

They seemed to have done a pretty good job stopping this guy without resorting to any of those silly suggestions.
 
Thank God they were onto this guy early. Hope this little fucker gets to spend the rest of his life in jail worrying about his next ass kicking/raping.

In all likelihood, if they weren't on to him, he wouldn't have been able to get enough explosives to do this. Don't forget, it was the feds who supplied the explosives to him. I think we're fortunate, and it's incredibly obvious, that most Muslims in this country are not nutcases like this kid. If you have the money, it would be too simple to get a van full of explosives.

"Mohamud's attempt is neither representative nor an example of Somalis. Somalis are peace loving people," said Omaar, whose government is holed up in a few blocks of the capital, Mogadishu, while much of the country's southern and central regions are ruled by Islamist insurgents.

Somalis are a peaceful people!!!!11111

Nah but seriously, I notice that the article didn't once mention that he was Muslim, or what his motive could possibly be, so it's either a mystery or it's just assumed that everyone already understands.

We'll see a call for more ground security, a tightening of our borders (except for mexicans and illegals who are already here) and a rampup of active military deployed within the US.

In all likelihood, this incident never actually happened. The government needs to continue to justify its eroding of our personal freedoms and liberties and its expansion of power into our backyards and homes. Eventually, once they have enough troops deployed domestically, they'll drop the guise. Until then, we will continue our slow march to tyranny while the left sticks their head in the sand and screams "but we NEEEEEED the government to take care of us."
 
I heard that reality was catching up with Minority Report.
I assumed it was about the fancy displays and gesture stuff, rather than the "preemptive policing".

I agree, we should definitely arrest the suicide bombers after they commit their crime.

No, what we should do is allow massive muslim immigration to the US, not have any security at airports, and all convert to Islam if only to anger Republicans.

Yep.

The affidavit said Mohamud was warned several times about the seriousness of his plan, that women and children could be killed, and that he could back out, but he told agents: "Since I was 15 I thought about all this;" and "It's gonna be a fireworks show ... a spectacular show."
