FBI Stops Car Bomb Plot At Christmas Tree Lighting in Portland Oregon, Somali Teenager Arrested

Authorities in Oregon say they have thwarted an attempted car bombing at a packed Christmas-tree lighting ceremony in the capital of Portland.
Police arrested Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a Somali-born naturalized U.S. citizen, shortly after 5:30 p.m. local time Friday, moments after he dialed a number for a cellphone that he believed would set off the explosion.
But the bomb was a dud, having been given to him by federal authorities who had him in their sights for months.
Officials said Mohamud, 19, resisted arrest, yelling "Allah Akbar!".
"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."
Mohamud was warned by undercover agentsd about the fake bomb's dangerous nature. However, he brushed off concerns, telling agents that, "Since I was 15 I thought about all this." He also said the attack was going to be "a fireworks show...a spectacular show."

Some people might call BS on this, but I swear this is the truth. I have a friend who lived in Oregon for a while, and actually knew this kid. We would always argue with me on the phone saying that Muslims have a bad rap in this country, and that Islam is really a peaceful religion. And that he has friends who are muslims, and that they are really good guys. He was shocked when found out that one of those "good guys" he was talking about tried to blow up the tree lighting ceremony in Portland.

If we could find out the names of the FBI agents that brainwashed a 16 year old kid for two years we could report them individually to Child Protective Serices for child abuse. call CPS and report the abuse by the individual and don’t bring up the FBI. CPS should take care of the rest. Can you imagine CPS doesn’t find out it is the FBI until they are into the investigation.These individuals should be held accountable outside of the FBI so that there is no immunity from the child abuse law

and does not bark at anyone from the country's poor social bum or the wrong color of a man who just wants a status in Finland, the barking of pizza rotator Iraqis and Muslims, gay, and touted a pig in stores by Christmas the family home, although no family when social workers took the children into care because of poverty, these Muslims, at racism end?

Watch another report from the same FOX News Channel of an interview with a Muslim Youth Leader who condemned this plot and spoke about what his Muslim Youth Association is doing to combat this problem. He was there himself in downtown Portland spreading a message of peace just hours before this terror plot was put into action. Go to the AhmadiyyaUSA1 YouTube channel and see for yourself.
