FBI Has Arrested a 19-Year-Old Jordanian Man Accused of Placing "An Inert/Inactive Ca

[haldir]

This just in from the U.S. Attorney's Office, via press release:
James T. Jacks, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, and Robert E. Casey, Jr., Special Agent in Charge for the Dallas Office of the FBI, announced today that Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, 19, has been arrested and charged in a federal criminal complaint with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Smadi, who was under continuous surveillance by the FBI, was arrested today near Fountain Place, a 60-story glass office tower located at 1445 Ross Avenue in downtown Dallas, after he placed an inert/inactive car bomb at the location.

Smadi, a Jordanian citizen in the U.S. illegally, lived and worked in Italy, Texas, (approximately 45 miles south of Dallas). He has repeatedly espoused his desire to commit violent Jihad and has been the focus of an undercover FBI investigation.

"The highest priority of the FBI and the Department of Justice remains the prevention of another terrorist attack within the United States," said U.S. Attorney Jacks. "In that effort, it is the job of the FBI to locate and identify individuals intent upon carrying out any type of attack upon this country and its citizens/residents."
The full press release -- which contains a lengthy narrative detailing the alleged plot and Smadi's interaction with undercover FBI agents (one of whom provided him with the inert bomb) -- is after the jump, as is the government's arrest warrant and the complaint filed today in Dallas federal court. Smadi will go before U.S. Magistrate Judge Irma Ramirez at 11 Friday morning.
Rest here.

Well!

The .gov guys still seem to be on the up on these bozos.

HOWEVER, who here thinks they are getting everyone that's planning attacks?

It seems like when you hear about a "sting" or bust it's usually
involves stupid low rank a-holes that could not blow up a balloon
without being lead around by the nose.

Sounds like the FBI sent in an agent provocateur and goaded him into committing a crime. Usually they do that with idiot militia or christian identity people. Guess muslims are the new suckers.

When will they learn? The best looking hooker is always a cop, the guy you want to hire off of Craigs list to kill your spouse is always a cop and the guy who says he can get you a good deal on a bomb is most definitely a cop!

That "sucker" was not only here illegally but, according to the article, "has repeatedly espoused his desire to commit violent Jihad". He planted what he thought was a bomb on his own. I have no sympathy for him.

Don't forget the 15 yr old, hot looking and talking girl on the internet is really a cop.

Don't these silly Muslims know that they are supposed to be in Afghanistan fighting us over there?

You're going to stir up the apologists on here with that kind of talk.

Dallas bomber: "We shall attack them in their very homes""

I truly say it that my dream is to be among God's soldiers, first for the support of Islam and my beloved Sheik Usama, may God give him long life. I don't know what is in me, but I love him as I love my father. I don't want to add to this.
Now, my brother, the point is that thousands of Muslims have been killed at the hand of Jews -- the dogs -- and the silent disloyal backsliders. Those are the Arab kings and, God willing, their end will be the hanging rope and hell.
Their silence and fight against the Sheik mean that they are backsiders along with the enemy in a world plan to destroy Islam, Muslims, and to seize their lands for the benefit of the Jews and for the love of infidelity.
By God who created me, there will not be a retreat at all, even if they take me to Guantanamo for the rest of my life. I will never forget Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, or any land where the call of, 'there is no God but God, Muhammad is God's Messenger' is raised.
Who will assist the brothers, the infants, the women who became widows and their orphan children? Who would return these lands before religion and blessing disappear? Who would cause these tyrants to fall?
In the name of God, the Gracious and Merciful, this is my vow to you, my brother, that I am ready. And if you were a lover of Jihad as I am, then, by God, I am ready for the Jihadi life. What you will see of me will please you and your commander.
The reign is only for the living and powerful God. I ask Him that he would be our Caliph and Ruler."
[...]
"My brother in God, God and His angels are with us. With the permission of the Almighty Lord of the Worlds, we will have victory and allies from God Almighty. He is the powerful and helpful. Victory is coming, is coming to defeat the Romans [i.e., Christians] and for the destruction of the Jews. God is Most Great. We shall attack them in their very homes. Brother, by God, we shall attack them in a manner that hurts, an attack that shakes the world. Oh Brother, let the backsliders know that the time for their destruction has come."

but mettle, he was basically innocent. our evil government "goaded" him into illegally entering America and attempting to locate and purchase bombs. just like 9-11 was an inside job...

Just playing devils advocate here for a second......and please don't take this as me having an issue with this douche-nozzle getting caught or how it transpired because I don't.

I know this guy was illegal.......but does that fact warrant a "shoot on site (not sight, but sight)" reaction?? Lets let me play the what if game for once:

Say the only factor in the story that is changed is that he is a 19YO Texas native, born and raised here and a citizen. Would that change the "shoot on site" mindset or does Innocent until proven guilty not apply to this case.

Just sayin..........

he bought the bomb though. guilty.

 

[1032JBT]

he bought the bomb though. guilty.

And "they" bought the drugs included in my search warrant for the car or house or storage facility or hotel room, they bought and consumed the booze that is in their blood that caused them to be intoxicated which is why I have a search warrant for a blood draw.....etc.


I understand what you are saying and I DO NOT disagree with you, just playing devils advocate for once........actually it's kinda fun or maybe I'm just a little loopy...........

i guess it would all depend on how much you trust big brother...no terrorist attacks in 8 years. theyre doing something right.

And I do not disagree on that fact but to belive some that post here they/we are the scum of the earth if for no other reason than because they/we are the agents of the government......and not just feds, but us "p*ssant" locals as well.

Just trying to invoke some thoughts into all this as the whole Innocent until proven Guilty" thing seems to be tossed around so much. It never gets mentioned in threads like this one because the outcome is popular with the masses.......but tweak the story just a little in the grand fashion of the "what-if's" and it is no different than other threads on the forum that have been closed because people can't play nice (and yes I am guilty of that as well).

 

[ihateiraq]

because people can't play nice (and yes I am guilty of that as well).

same here. apparently i reach my boiling point w/ individuals a lot faster than i do w/ the govt.

Righteous Brother, Righteous!! They've shown intent, ability, and attempt. He has an avowed hatred of us and U.S. Drop him where he stands, if they ultimately win it will be because they have learned to use our freedoms against us. (boy this oughta stir something up)
