A source told CBS News' John Nolen that the suspect was identified as Amine El Khalifi, a Moroccan citizen who has lived in the United States for more than 12 years. He was taken down by FBI agents and U.S. Capitol Police officers in Alexandria, Va., outside Washington. An intelligence source confirmed the suspect's name to CBS News.

The Justice Department announced that El Khalifi was charged "by criminal complaint with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against property that is owned and used by the United States." He faces life in prison if convicted.

There are perhaps over 10,000 other radicalized Muslims living in this country. The attempts at terrorism will continue. Freedom of religion works against safety of innocent civilians in this case.

A 29-year-old Moroccan man who authorities say wanted to be the first suicide bomber on U.S. soil was arrested Friday after strapping on what he thought was an explosive vest and heading for the U.S. Capitol,...

Heading to the White house for marching orders or just lost?

According to Fox News, the suspect has been living in the United States illegally since 1999 after his visa expired. He first entered the country that year on a tourist visa, which expired and was never renewed.

But the MSM and Lefty Libs have been telling us for years that the War On Terror is a made-up fiction by the right.

Watch CAIR of the M-B-hood rats find a loophole faster than a lucid WC Fields. Maybe the rezident King and his wookie Her Highchairness will exo nerate this behavior. Just another whack job domestic violence case like Hasan ( Ft Hood Major allah follower) will be downgraded to a misdemeanor traffic ticket.

Keep enabling the sociopaths, keep hammering home they're above the law or shar'ia law is above the constitution or it should be a shared ideology and we will see more and more of this kind of s**t. Bob Dylans song When You Gonna Wake Up comes to mind

Turns out, the mosque at which "Amine el Khalifi" prayed prior to his attempt at detonating his suicide bomb vest is revealed at Long War Journal:
"Today after first after praying at the Dar al-Hirjah mosque in Northern Virginia, . . ."

Ah, yes, that bastion of Islamic peace & harmony & community cohesion in Falls Church VA , you remember THAT Dar al-Hijrah, good ol' dearly departed al-Awlaki’s prayer haunt. Read more: http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2012/02/attempted_suicide_at.php#ixzz1mhEUvVi8

Begs the question . . .how many practitioners from Dar al-Hirjah mosque in Falls Church VA are influencing Washington in the purge of anti-terror training materials Islamist Lobbies’ Washington War on Arab and Muslim Liberals

A note from Investigative Project on Terrorism Executive Director Steven Emerson:
Please take the time to read this very important story written by a courageous Egyptian liberal intellectual about the Islamist and Muslim Brotherhood lobbies in Washington and the Obama Administration’s secret collaboration with these pro-terrorist, anti-Western, anti-women, anti-American and anti-Semitic organizations. This is one of the most important articles I have read in years.
