FBI, US military in hunt for one-time recruit planning 'Fort Hood-style Jihad'
Fox News ^ | Monday, March 31, 2014 | Jana Winter

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI is searching for a recent Army recruit believed to be planning a "Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers," FoxNews.com has learned.

The alert, whose legitimacy was confirmed by military and law enforcement officials, stated that a man identified as Booker had told friends of his "intention to commit jihad." Booker, who is also known as Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, was recruited by the U.S. Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for basic training on April 7. But he was discharged last week, apparently after law enforcement authorities learned of his alleged plan.

Both the FBI and the 902d Military Intelligence Group at Fort Leavenworth are involved in the hunt.

The DOD released a statement a few weeks ago warning about the “ internal threat .

So right after that release a truck driver disarms a female sailor and then shoots and kills another sailor.

Now we have this guy. Obunga’s fault.

They “discharged” him but didn’t arrest him? Did they get a direct call from the White Hut?

Might be a silly question, but why didn't they arrest him while he was still there?

I think he was “Booker” when he joined. I’m assuming he was black, because there are many black people named after Booker T. Washington, but on the other hand, he could have been any Kansas City teenager of any color who was depressed and dysfunctional enough to convert to Islam.

“one time recruit”?

What a joke America has become.

=> Why did the Boston terrorists/murderers not need a passport?

Why was THAT traitor allowing it not removed with prejudice?

You cant make this stuff up. They learn of the plan so quick get him out of here. Then they say to the public “can you help us find this guy” with no pics or description.

When I saw a photo of the killer of the MP, it screamed “Islamic convert.” It’s the shaved head and the beard that give it away.

That’s why we haven’t heard anything about him or his “motive,” and why it took so long to release any information at all about him (while the Navy was cooking up a story to protect Islam).

I remember that very clearly. It really told me just how much the Army brass cares about me and my family.

No person named Muhammad Abdullah Hassan should ever be permitted to serve in the U.S. military, much less granted a security clearance. I know: there are probably more good Muhammad Abdullah Hassans than bad ones, but at this juncture we can’t afford to take the chance.

I would go as far as saying no person named Muhammad Abdullah Hassan should be allowed to be in the US, let alone live here. Dying, on the other hand, is quite fine. My statements are predicated on the fact that Islam is not a religion. It is a death cult and as such its followers have no 1st Amendment protections based on religious grounds.

Let me understand, he is recruited by our military , locals say he has a plot to commit work place violence so they discharge him and now can’t find him? False flag discovered by local LEOs ? Spoiled plan initiated by who?

I never would have thought this possible but now I just don’t know.

Not only remember what the man said but more importantly remember the man who said it. That such a person could rise to that rank is a travesty let alone a danger for troops and the Nation.

He was supposed to report for basic training on April 7th.

The Army discharged him between his swearing-in day, and his report date, so he is running loose somewhere among the populace.

With some luck, he may just show up on April 7th, and get arrested.

But... but... isn't that PROFILING?

I thought profiling was bad?

I thought you were supposed to wait until they killed people before you could even acknowledge they existed?

BO is a POS enemy combatant who should have been kidnapped and sent to a CIA prison months ago.

As great a tragedy as this was, it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well.”

I do not want a diverse Army. I want a cohesive unit all working towards the same goal of killing ALL enemies of the United States.
