Channel 33 news is reporting that a suspected terrorist has been arrested along with an "inert" car bomb in downtown Dallas. The is a Muslim jihadi.
Details as I find them.

More details from the local FOX affiliate
DALLAS - Dallas FBI agents arrested a Jordanian citizen Thursday afternoon for attempting to bomb a skyscraper in Downtown Dallas.
According to the bureau, 19-year-old Mosam Maher Husein Smadi was arrested and charged for attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
FBI agents are not saying exactly which building was targeted, but they said the arrest took place near Fountain Place, a 60-story glass office tower located at 1445 Ross Avenue.
The arrest is not related to recent events in Colorado, New York or Springfield, according to FBI
Another friend of Jerry Jones?
MOD- This is a breaking story, at least front page.
Headline could be changed to “Dallas bomb plotter arrested”
How many people will continue to make excuses for Islam? Or believe that democracy is Islamic countries means anything to us? Or that what happens is Iran will stop this? The enemy is HERE, wake up.
The FBI is doing good work these days.
Still, one wonders why we’re allowing Jordanian citizens to live here.
“The arrest is not related to recent events in Colorado, New York or Springfield, according to FBI”
... RIGHTTTTTTTTTTT
Of course all these practice runs just gotta be unrelated.
” The arrest is not related to recent events in Colorado, New York or Springfield, according to FBI “
Nothing to see here - move along, folks... (pat. pend.)
There seems to have been a veritable rash of ‘unrelated’ incidents breaking today..
(Who are we gonna believe - the FBI, or our lyin’ eyes??)
yikes!
The news reader dude has read a statement from the man. Classic Muslim terrorist. Jews are dogs and he hates America and wants to follow his “father” into martyrdom
fyi
OK this is at least the fifth differet Islamic terror story I have seen on FR today.
The moosie was just trying to “fix” that low hanging video screen.

Go just past the halfway point to get to my reason for posting it, but it is all interesting. And listening to all of it (scan through the commercials) gives it context.
Yep, everyone is focused overseas and now the enemy is here.
Well there’s no national elections this fall to register Democrats for.
These guys have to do something to stay busy....
Sounds like our boys might be unraveling some stuff. God help them get it all before it’s too late. Hey, but at least we aren’t waterboarding any jihadis, huh? Look how morally superior we are now!
took about 6-8 months after letting off the offensive pressure for them to counter and get over here.
my guess... we’re about to see what would have happen 18 months after 9-11... if GWBush wasn’t in office
(12-18 months was the normal time between AQ hits during the 90s)
Not exactly an OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATION? Janet Napolitano, call your office.
” Sounds like our boys might be unraveling some stuff. God help them get it all before it’s too late. “
We have to be right every time - they only have to get lucky once in a while...
I hope there aren’t enough attacks in the works to overwhelm the system.....
Cmon, the Obama DOJ is just grandstanding. That’s what they said every time the BUSH DOJ announced arrests of jihadis.
The FBI has arrested a Jordanian citizen for attempting to bomb a downtown Dallas skyscraper today. The public was never at risk.

Maybe Zazi talks in his sleep!!
It’s been 8 years. These guys are into 8 year cycles from some sources I have read.
“The arrest is not related to recent events in Colorado, New York or Springfield, according to FBI”
Yeah sure...
TV 33 news guy now says he had tried to plant this on Sept 11
He had first tried to plant the bomb on Sept 11!
May God protect us all!
Because they know 0bama has tried to weaken us. Likely the FBI and police still do their jobs right because the politicians sure aren’t.
Flying glass in the downtown area from a blast might have been a nasty hazard for pedestrians.
They were going to try a multi-state terror operation and everything collapsed, thank the real God
persistent little bastards.
Seems like there has been an increase in attempted Terrorist attacks in the United States.
How could that be?
Tell big sis to raise the level to condition RED. Three attempted bombs in a week tells me the mooselimbs have launched an attack.
My ASS it isn't.
By the way, someone should shove this up Napolitano's fat ass, that the "real terrorists" are right-wing supremacists.
I think all these aborted attacks are related to this. Probably contained wake-up calls to all the sleeper cells...
Cheers!
Somebody set him up the fake bomb!
Pretty soon, Obama is going to take the credit for stopping all of these attemps: “In the last 8 months, I have restored our domestic security.” or some such non-sense
What the bomb wouldn’t achieve, collateral damage would certainly do so.

They might as well scrap the idiotic color code system. If this kind of stuff doesn’t warrant an elevation to “Orange”, then nothing does. Americans, go back and do your patriotic duty: shopping.
Local Fox station said this was a 4 month sting operation. The terrorist was given the fake bomb from FBI agents posing as AQ sleeper cells. He was arrested when he went on the suicide mission to blow up the building.
It must be about time for the Socialist Autocrat’s Justice(?) Dept. to launch an investigation of the FBI.
If it isn’t related to the other “events”, does that mean they are cracking another cell or is this just “sudden jihad syndrome”?
I’m afraid they are going succeed soon in carrying out an attack. Napolitano and Obama will simply blame Bush when it happens.
