Somali-American accused of plotting to bomb (News)

Somali-American accused of plotting to bomb Oregon tree-lighting event
Officials say the suspect wanted those attending to leave either dead or injured
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, is a naturalized U.S. citizen from Somalia
A 19-year-old has been arrested in connection with a plot to detonate a vehicle bomb at an annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon, on Friday evening, the Justice Department announced.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Somalia, was arrested on suspicion of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. He is a resident of Corvallis, Oregon, and a student at Oregon State University, according to the FBI
Mohamud was arrested by the FBI and Portland Police Bureau after he attempted to detonate what he believed to be an explosives-laden van that was parked near the tree-lighting ceremony in Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Justice Department said in a written statement. However, "the materials were not explosive said Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd, who called the device a mock bomb
The threat was very real. Our investigation shows that Mohamud was absolutely committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale, said Arthur Balizan, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Oregon. "At the same time, I want to reassure the people of this community that, at every turn, we denied him the ability to actually carry out the attack
The arrest was the culmination of a long-term undercover operation during which Mohamud had been monitored closely as his alleged bomb plot developed, the Justice Department said. Officials said the public was never in danger from the device

@yuuyu114 You're so right, Somali people have been mentally enslaved by their Arab masters to hate and kill everyone, including their own. Somalis are now extremists just like the Taliban and Al Qaeda because of the Wahabbi ideology they have been indoctrinated with. Waa waasheen runtii!

He did not even commit a crime; fucking FBI gave him money, and helped him buy supplies. But because he is immigrant it’s easy to blame. FBI fucking cunts, who is lawyer Mr. Magoo,. This case is entrapment and he should be released. If The FBI did not help he could not have purchased anything. So I blame the FBI who is the number enemy of the state. Next they will go after Santa’s reindeer stating, how Santa wants to use them to destroy the Whitehouse lmao fucking morons.
