Another terrorist in custody

[DrLeftover]

PORTLAND, Ore. – Federal agents in a sting operation arrested a Somali-born teenager just as he tried blowing up a van he believed was loaded with explosives at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, authorities said.



The bomb was an elaborate fake supplied by the agents and the public was never in danger, authorities said.



Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested at 5:40 p.m. Friday just after he dialed a cell phone that he thought would set off the blast but instead brought federal agents and police swooping down on him.



Yelling Allahu Akbar! — Arabic for God is great! — Mohamud tried to kick agents and police after he was taken into custody, according to prosecutors.

Wonder how many members that posted they are against allowing TSA to do a full body scan or pat down, still feel the same way after reading this. This could just as well as happened in any airport in the US. For crap sake, we are not safe even going to a tree lighting.

But remember.... Just because he's another young male Islamic fanatic doesn't mean anything. They still need to feel up elderly nuns and college girls with big... ... smiles... in airports.



Now.



Who's going to the Super Bowl this year?



Or the Rose Bowl?



Maybe New Year's in Times Square?



Can you say 'I want to be a target' boys and girls? ... ... ... ... there, I knew you could.



OK. I'll say it.



The Terrorists are Winning.

I'm sure his parents are quite proud of his actions.



His family in Somalia are probably upset that he didn't succeed in killing Americans and are now putting up with ridicule and harassment.
