As online chatter about a Muhammad cartoon contest began to escalate last week, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a Joint Intelligence Bulletin last Thursday. The bulletin acknowledged the potential threat, but downplayed the possibility of any violence targeting the event.
The bulletin concluded that while the event could inspire violence abroad by contributing to terrorist messaging, it was “unlikely” that such violence would happen in the United States.
A copy of the FBI/DHS bulletin is provided exclusively by PJ Media below.
On Sunday night, two men – Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, roommates from Phoenix — did in fact show up at the event location in Garland, Texas, armed with semi-automatic weapons and body armor. Both were quickly killed in an exchange of gunfire before there was any direct threat to anyone inside the facility. One police officer was shot in the ankle — he was treated at the hospital and later released.

It appears their forecast model is flawed.
Got it last Thursday, read it, thought, “Seems like they’re downplaying this a bit too much.” Fortunately, these cowards got the Lone Star Quick-Draw Special. I love my state.
Tell me again why we needed DHS?
Are we now calling this the Soofi-Simpson Scale of Stupidity?
No stupidity here. This is planned.
Unlikely? I assume the pencil pusher who wrote that politically correct silliness will be promoted by the Obama appointees.
“Repeat after me. ‘Islam is a religion of peace.’”
DHS only monitors Tea Partiers and Christians, and their model showed it was unlikely these groups would attack the conference.
To quote Janet Napalitano "The system worked!"
“No stupidity here. This is planned.”
Exactly right.
I new Saturday morning terrorist attacks were coming.
Didn’t know where it would be or when but I knew an attack was coming in short order.
Hard to say who’s dumber... the Feds or the Jihadis who thought they could pull off a massacre in Texas.
That explains why there were so many cops and swat officers at the event, they were monitoring the contest.
Yeah, it’s hard to put one over on these geniuses. America, rest easy. You’re in good hands.
The feds came to the fire dept where the attendees had been taken and took over, late and after the police had done all the work. The police weren’t too happy about it.
