An 18-year-old Maine man and two other teens, one in Chicago and another in Kentucky, conspired to attack a Chicago mosque with homemade explosives this month, new court documents reveal - until the FBI unraveled the plot.

Remember now, we have firmly told, “by our top men”, that the greatest terror threat to the United States is armed, conservative white male supremists attacking people of color and trannies.
Why, the FBI and Army and White House told us this many, many times.
“homemade explosives”
LOL.
A few puny consumer-grade fireworks taped together.
Amateur hour.
Yep. Must be Sunni.
The bombs used at the Boston Marathon were homemade using fireworks for source material.

Why stop them?

Five years ago, I'd have accused you of being a conspiracy nutter. Now? Chances are you're 100% right.
The times we live in.
GITMO for life and give them a rope to play with.
What? No pics of said Mr. Pelkey? I wonder why?
My first thought. Makes no sense.
It does if you want to claim after the attack that it was Nazi Conservative Republicans who did the crime. This is happening around the World. ISIS is attacking moderate minded Muslim Mosques to start a war
