DALLAS - Police arrested a man after he allegedly placed an inactive car bomb near Fountain Place at 1445 Ross Avenue in downtown Dallas.
Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, a 19-year-old Jordanian citizen who has been living and working in Italy, Texas illegally, was charged with "attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction," authorities said.
Authorities said Smadi had been under FBI surveillance for some time after expressing "his desire to commit violent jihad" numerous times.

Dallas?
Thank goodness the bomb was inactive and they caught the guy. I hope he wasn’t just a lead man doing a dry run so that someone could accomplish the task later.
I hope it didn't activate a more competent 2nd wave of them to appear later...
Cheers!
NY, IL, CO, now TX? I’d say they’re onto something....

Channel 33 and KDFW Fox 4 has longer articles..
Meanwhile Obama is distracted obsessively trying to shove a healthcare ruination bill down the nation’s throat. The guy is weirdly obsessive in trying to fanatically pass fascist healthcare. It begs the question as to whether he’s paying attention to anything else including national security.
New York, Colorado, Missouri and now Texas.
Why not? They know if they’re caught they won’t have to face any kind of ‘vigorous’ interrogation.

And I’ve cross-posted it to the ‘compilation thread’...
Something serious is going on here....
I’d have to agree with you.
GGG thinks that the ideology most responsible for 9-11 was evolutionary biology, not Islam.
Who is the policeman who arrested the guy? Could have been acting stupidly. Lets not race(ist) to any judgement here... surely the guy in custody should have a sip of beer on the white house lawn first.
...allegedly placed an inactive car bomb...
Reporters, yet again, are dumber than a bag of hammers...
You are correct, they ARE working on something...The good thing is goobers like this are getting caught...
The bad thing is we are not going to catch them all...
And it all looks to be uncoordinated, and not well planned...So we may get lucky on a few...
Its those cells that are well-trained, funded and supported that will have a better chance of success...
Thems just the breaks...
Another one of those peace loving Muslims doing naughty things, shocking I tell ya, just shocking
“Al Qaeda is working on something. I just sense it. First the NYC arrests now this.”
Agreed.
