Considering that this guy is a US citizen, I think that a charge of treason and a sentence of death would be most appropriate.

Mega kudos to the FBI for thwarting the horrendous plan.

Muslims should not be allowed to come into this country neither as permanant residents nor as tourists/visitors. We don’t need them and their evil “religion.”

I lived in the Seattle area on 9-1-1. They celebrated in the city streets of Seattle. Sooomallies did.

I read reports of this too.

FBI thwarts terrorist bombing attempt at Portland holiday tree lighting, authorities say

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/11/fbi_thwarts_terrorist_bombing.html

“During this meeting, Mohamud explained how he had been thinking of committing some form of violent jihad since the age of 15,” the affidavit says. “Mohamud then told (the FBI operatives) that he had identified a potential target for a bomb: the Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square on Nov. 26, 2010.”

The FBI operatives cautioned Mohamud several times about the seriousness of his plan, noting that there would be many people, including children, at the event, and that Mohamud could abandon his plans at any time with no shame.

“You know there’s going to be a lot of children there?” an FBI operative asked Mohamud. “You know there are gonna be a lot of children there?”

Mohamud allegedly responded he was looking for a “huge mass that will ... be attacked in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays.”

Mohamud dismissed concerns about law enforcement, explaining that, “ ... It’s in Oregon; and Oregon, like, you know, nobody ever thinks about,” according to the affidavit.

“The threat was very real,” said Oregon’s FBI Special Agent in Charge Arthur Balizan. “Our investigation shows that Mohamud was absolutely committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale. At the same time, I want to reassure the people of this community that, every turn, we denied him the ability to actually carry out the attack.”

Just the fact that they got him a perfect parking space in Portland without him catching on he was being set up was astonishing.

I suppose his age was what gave them the ability to scam him.

LCounty is where we live and it butts up against Corvallis.

Corvallis is where OBama’s brother in law is the Beavers BBall coach.

If the 19yr old wanna be terrorist was thinking he would have targeted the Civil War game coming up next week end.

It is at Reesers Stadium in Corvallis this year and it is a huge statewide event for Oregon.

Our family are not sports fans but we even get into the Civil War game show day.

Go Ducks!

Thanks for the ping Cindy. Two bastions of liberalism, Corvallis and Portland, spawning yet another jihad tyke.

“Portland judge rules terrorism suspect Mohamud can’t learn true identity of FBI informant”
Bryan Denson

Published: Wednesday, September 26, 2012, 11:53 AM Updated: Wednesday, September 26, 2012, 1:38 PM
By Bryan Denson, The Oregonian

SNIPPET: “A federal judge today denied terrorism suspect Mohamed Mohamud’s defense team its request to learn the true identity of a government informant identified as “Bill Smith.””

SNIPPET: “His opinion notes that the government had established a “solid and compelling interest in not disclosing Bill Smith’s true identity. If an appeal becomes necessary, the 9th Circuit can review the sealed transcript.”

“(Smith’s) identity is neither relevant nor helpful to the defense and is not essential to a fair trial,” the judge wrote. “The emails speak for themselves. ... I do not expect the government to produce any additional discovery concerning Bill Smith.””

“Jihad References Debated in Oregon Terror Trial”
by John Rossomando • Nov 16, 2012 at 11:30 am

SNIPPET: “Defense attorneys contend that allowing references to the terms “terrorist,” “violent jihad” and “martyr” would be prejudicial to their client and “blur and dilute” the facts of the case, which they claim involved entrapment, according to the Associated Press.

But in court papers, prosecutors counter that Mohamud used these terms himself in meetings with undercover agents and that they show his motivation, which they say stems from an ideology that encourages violent jihad.

The defense similarly sought to exclude evidence about the defendant’s contacts with Amr Al-Ali, listed by the Saudi government as one of its top “47 most wanted terrorists linked to al-Qaida.” It similarly wants Mahmoud’s email communications with Samir Khan, an al-Qaida terrorist killed in the drone strike that also killed terrorist mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki, excluded from the trial, along with Mohamud’s published writings in Khan’s online jihadist magazine Jihad Recollections from consideration.”

Thanks for the follow-up and post. BTTT.

It will take another event on the scale of 9/11 or beyond before people in any great numbers begin to wake up. Dubya really hurt us with his “religion of peace” nonsense.
