A Baltimore man was arrested Tuesday for plotting to blow up a military recruitment center, authorities said.

The man was caught in a sting operation and was plotting to blow up an Armed Forces recruiting station in Catonsville with what he believed to be a vehicle bomb, the U.S. Attorney's Office for Maryland said in a statement.

"There was no actual danger to the public as the explosives were inert and the suspect had been carefully monitored by law enforcement for months," the statement said.

There was no evidence the plot was linked to recent shootings at military installations in the Washington area, authorities said.

Weren't these people supposed to be loving us by now?

I remember Zero saying something like "We will reach out our hand, if you will unclench your fist".

Well, Zero reached out and dropped trou, bent over and grabbed our collective ankles.

We're still getting the fist.

Oh, that’s fine; sometimes I post to the OP out of convenience—I don’t mind who answers.

Wonder why a hispanic would convert to Islam, but then I wonder why anyone would, really.

Terror Authorities Make Arrest in Alleged Plot to Blow Up Military Recruitment Center

excerpt:

A man was arrested Wednesday for plotting to blow up a military recruitment center in the Baltimore area, authorities said.

Antonio Martinez, a Muslim convert who called himself Muhammed Hussain, was arrested and is expected to appear later Wednesday in federal court, Fox News confirms.

Martinez, a U.S. citizen, was caught in a sting operation as he tried to detonate a phony bomb at an Armed Forces recruiting station in Catonsville, just outside Baltimore, officials said.

Looks like that rush to judgment where we all assumed the guy was Amish turned out to be inaccurate.

I say a prayer each night to keep us safe. I know though that it is only a matter of time and that is how we now live. Sad.

OMG!!! We must do somethinhg to stop the Baptist Ladies’ Aid, the Knights of Columbus, and the United Yeshiva Students from hatching all these nefarious plots. Of course, the retired Papist nuns are the worst of all.
