“The Ideas Behind the Alleged Bomber”

IPT News

SNIPPET: “Often it’s the paper trail that brings down a would-be terrorist.

Accused lone-wolf jihadist Jose Pimentel was arrested as he assembled a pipe bomb in his home. But he leaves an extensive collection of writings and online postings which show his devotion to waging jihad in America.”

SNIPPET: “News reports indicate that the FBI declined to pursue Pimentel because agents considered him “mentally unstable” and not a serious threat. But Pimentel’s blog, monitored by law enforcement officials for the past year, shows sophisticated reasoning and articulate expression of why he wanted to kill Americans. It is rare that terrorists leave behind such a clear trail of their radicalization process, with detailed identification of the influences that motivated their actions.

The case shows that, although the release of English-language jihadi materials has taken a hit since the September killing of al-Qaida ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki, the videos and writings he left behind still inspire terrorist plots.”

SNIPPET: “As if foreshadowing his own plot and subsequent demise, Pimentel also set up his website as a guide to everything a future would-be extremist would need. He stopped posting on the blog months before building his own bombs, leaving a huge volume of documents and his own posts as a legacy.”

SNIPPET: “”He made some of his even like-minded friends nervous,” said New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He noted that the plot was the 14th directed at New York City since 9/11.”

“NYC pipe bomb suspect Jose Pimentel posted on Revolution Muslim”
Posted by J.M. Berger

SNIPPET: “Jose Pimentel, a devotee of American Al Qaeda propagandist Anwar Awlaki arrested in New York this weekend for building a pipe bomb described in Al Qaeda’s Inspire magazine, posted entries at least twice on Islam Policy, the radical Web site previously known as Revolution Muslim.

Pimentel was a prolific blogger and highly connected social media user. He ran his own Web site, TrueIslam1, and at least twice cross-posted material to Islam Policy.

Revolution Muslim, a pro-Al Qaeda website founded by American radicals, was suspended briefly after one of its writers threatened the creators of South Park for depicting the Prophet Mohammed.

But the site soon returned, voluntarily changing its name to Islam Policy. The current leader of Islam Policy, Younus Abdullah Mohammed, was recently arrested and is now facing charges in relation to those threats. Another American, Zachary Chesser, was arrested in July 2010 and subsequently convicted for the same threats.

Pimentel posted on Revolution Muslim as “M. Yusuf” at least twice...”
