Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo, after raising suspicions at a Killeen, Texas, gun shop where he purchased six pounds of gunpowder and several boxes of shotgun shells, was in police custody in Killeen on Thursday, accused of plotting to kill fellow soldiers in a frightening reprise of the November 2009 massacre at Fort Hood.
Abdo, 21, who grew up in Garland outside of Dallas, was close to pulling off a "terror plot" in which the intended target was troops based at Fort Hood, said Killeen Police Chief Dennis Baldwin.
"We would probably be here today giving you a different briefing had he not been stopped," Baldwin said in a news conference Thursday afternoon.
Abdo is a Muslim and sought a discharge because he said he was conflicted about his faith and his military service. An infantryman, he was most recently stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky.

It was the same shop that sold the killer gun to Hasan. Had it been a different one, I doubt we would have gotten a heads up.
How many conscientious objectors are either one? Turns out this clown was yet another Moslem with kiddie-porn, and his problem wasn't with war, it was that he was on the other side. Reminds me of the "peace" people from the '60s, taking their instructions from Moscow.
But as his deployment neared, he started to “really ask myself whether God would accept what I was doing and whether I was really meant to go to war, as opposed to the peace that Islam preaches.”
And yet he was going to kill.
Yep. Muslims in our armed forces are fifth columnists.
We must never take our eyes off the moslems.
It’s not IF they’re up to something, it’s WHAT EXACTLY is each one up to.
“Yep. Muslims in our armed forces are fifth columnists.”
‘’Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, and seize them,
beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war...” (Quran
9:5) || “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for
friends; for they are friends but of each other; and whoever amongst you
takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does
not guide the unjust people.” (Quran 5:51)
They all read the same book!
I thought the nitrocellulose-based powder used in firearms cartridges burns too slowly to be particularly suitable for use in bomb-making.
Wouldn’t he have been beter off purchasing black powder if he wanted to build a ‘gun-powder’-based bomb?
Whorealdo on Fox & Friends this morning: “It’s frightening to think that anyone can walk into a gun store and buy 6 lbs. of gunpowder.” Look for the libs to pick up on this. No powder = no reloading = yet another infringement on the Second Amendment. “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
How do they know he was Muslim? I listened to the MSM news and never heard that.
He was considering conscientious objector status? Conscientious objectors don’t kill people. That’s a smokescreen for deciding that he wanted to be a traitor to America.

“And yet he was going to kill.”
He was going to kill INFIDELS, that is the key part that explains why his thinking was not conflicted. The “the peace that Islam preaches” is for muslims only, there is no peace for the infidels until they are all subdued.
If you highly constrain the burning, you can get a pipebomb that is not very effective.
There are other things that you can do that I would rather not discuss, if you use the gunpowder as a base.
One of my buddies used to build bombs when he was a teenager for fishing purposes.
His biggest project was over 10 lbs. of powder. He and a friend took it to a pond and an argument ensued. My buddy wanted to heave it in and then set the timer. His friend argued that they should set the timer and THEN throw it in because he was afraid the powder would get wet if they threw it in first.
The timer was salvaged from an old washing machine. It was to be wired to a battery and a long set of wires glued into the end of the pipe bomb.
My friend prevailed. They threw their pipe bomb into the pond and tried to set the timer.
BOOOOM! They were covered with mud and water.
Washing machine timers turn the machine OFF not ON.
They would have been blown to pieces if they had not chosen the (slightly) safer route.
BTW, he grew up and became an engineer on the Space Shuttle. Very nice, fun fellow.
Has Ft. Hood changed its terrorist free fire zone policies?
What? An evil purveyor of assault weapons and death reports a terrorist? There must be a mistake. (sarc)
