I posted the headline because I expect I'll get more information, sooner, from this forum than I will from Drudge.

Also, I figured others would appreciate the heads-up.

Makes you keep checking back, increasing the 'hit count' on his website.

[Uncle Ike]

FoxNews just picked up on it - again, headline only basically....

They did mention the upcoming presser, but it’s unclear whether they’ll be live-covering it.....

Watching.....

Federal authorities say they have foiled plots to launch terrorist attacks inside and outside the United States with the arrest this morning of a 27-year-old man in Sudbury.

According to a federal official, one man is in custody and two others have been implicated in the plots.

Federal officials say they plan to announce details at a press conference this morning at U.S. Attorney’s office in Boston

Update:

A 27-year-old man from Sudbury has been arrested on charges he planned terrorism attacks inside and outside the United States, including a plot to use automatic weapons to open fire at shoppers and emergency responders in shopping mall attacks, federal prosecutors said today.

Tarek Mehannah, of 6 Fairhaven Circle, is accused of conspiring with Ahmab Abousamra and others to obtain the automatic weapons needed to carry out a mall ambush in which they planned to open fire at random, said Acting U.S. Attorney Michael K. Loucks.

The plot included plans to fire at emergency responders, but was abandoned because the men could not obtain the weapons.

Prosecutors also allege the men discussed participating in violent Jihad against American interests and their desire to die on the “battlefield.” The crimes are alleged to have taken place between 2001 and 2008.

Loucks and Warren T. Bamford, special-agent-in-charge of the Boston FBI field office, have called a 10 a.m. press conference to discuss the arrest.

[JIM O]

Any info on specific shopping centers?

[Texas resident]

Tarek Mehannah and Ahmab Abousamra.
Time to round up the usual suspects, bitter clingers.

[Uncle Ike]

” Any info on specific shopping centers? “

There were reports during the Zazi incident that ‘security had been heightened at several WalMarts in upstate NY’..

Never heard any follow-up on it, though.....

[Dewey Revoltnow]

You mean it was muzzies instead of the REAL terrorists (Patriots)? I’m shocked /sarc
