(CNN) -- A Virginia man has been accused of threatening to place pipe bombs along the Metro transportation system in Washington.

According to a federal complaint, Awais Younis, who was arrested December 7, related his plans to someone on the social networking site Facebook.

Younis, also identified as Sundullah Ghilzai, told an FBI complainant through Facebook how how to build a pipe bomb "and what type of shrapnel would cause the greatest amount of damage," according to federal authorities.

He’s just a “Virginia man”, with no ties to known radical extremists???????

Now, we know he could have been upset about Obamacare, and shouldn’t jump to conclusions about his motives, background, or ideology.

But I have a feeling that this “Virginia man” is not just another high tech dude working in the Dulles corridor, or just another Virginia farmer, or salesman, and that he has issues besides his feelings about Obamacare.

I hope someone goes to Walmart and tells Janet Napolitano about 'someone'.

"Awais Younis—Damn Amish."

Yeah, and "also identified as Sundullah Ghilzai"...must be his Amish nickname!

Inept managers of the Metro have killed far more people on the metro than terrorists.
