Christmas Tree Terrorist attack (offfical)

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, but the device was actually inert. I imagine that Alex Jones is telling his dedicated cult members that this is a false flag, a Zionist inside job.
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.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit written by an FBI special agent, Mohamud was in e-mail communication in August 2009 with a person believed to be involved in terrorist activities. In December, that person was "located in the northwest frontier province of Pakistan," the affidavit states.
The two communicated regularly, the affidavit states, and "using coded language, they discussed the possibility of Mohamud traveling to Pakistan to prepare for violent Islamic jihad." What are the Muslims preaching in those Mosques anyway?
Mohamud attempted to contact another associate who he thought would help facilitate his travel overseas, the affidavit states, but "because Mohamud used the wrong e-mail address in his efforts to contact [the second associate], he never successfully contacted him to arrange travel."
At a meeting in August, the Justice Department said, Mohamud allegedly told undercover FBI operatives he had been thinking of committing violent jihad since the age of 15. According to the affidavit, Mohamud then told undercover operatives that he had identified a potential target for a bomb: the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square.
Authorities said an FBI operative pointed out that lots of children would be at such an event, but Mohamud said he was looking for a "huge mass that will be attacked in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays." Officials said Mohamud also stated, "... it's in Oregon; and Oregon like you know, nobody ever thinks about it."
According to the affidavit, Mohamud and the undercover FBI operatives traveled to a remote area in Lincoln County, Oregon, on November 4 and detonated a bomb hidden in a backpack as a test. During the drive back to Corvallis, the agents asked Mohamud about whether he could look at the bodies of those who would be killed in the upcoming attack in Portland, the Justice Department said.
Mohamud replied, "I want whoever is attending that event to leave, to leave either dead or injured," according to the affidavit.
If convicted of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, Mohamud faces a maximum statutory sentence of life in prison and a $250,000 fine.

What's wrong with you Islamophobes? Don't you know that Islam is a "religion of peace"?

[Qbsneak555]

Dismissing Islamic intent by saying this guy was set up by the FBI is misleading. The FBI got wind of his desires and enabled him to think he could execute a terroristic event. What this shows is the amount of hatred in the hearts of most Muslims.....the FBI can dangle an opportunity and they take the bait.

[antimaarifah]

It's good he got caught but y the fuck u guys say it's Muslims. Y do u call him Muslim terrorist? Y not just terrorist? When some one does a crime normally they never specify his race or ethnicity or even religion then y him? Y say that Muslims are terrorist. Do your research and u will see that this act of soo called jihad is not true this is not jihad trust me. This is not what GOD wanted from us this is an excuse for people to justify their act. Please don't say things about Muslims. I'm say

[amy2x]

I'm no Muslim fan but the FBI seems to be entrapping Muslims in order to scare people.

@TheBolero69 Food-illness deaths in the US PER YEAR,between 5000 and 9000.

Alcohol related deaths PER YEAR, nearly 75,000.

Deaths in US due to "terrorists activity" less than 4000 in the last 10(TEN) YEARS.

But for "our safety" we are to accept being radiated or being molested.

Google "false flag attack" and learn how governments use fear to control "the people."
