Harlem Suarez, 23, of Key West, was arrested and appeared in court Tuesday after taking possession of an inert 'backpack bomb' on Monday, the Department of Justice said.

The FBI had been aware of Suarez since April of this year after a series of Facebook posts that praised Middle Eastern terrorist organization Islamic State.

'Be a warrior, learn how to cut your enemies head and then burn down the body learn how to be the new future of the world Caliphate,' he allegedly said in a post from an account titled Almlak Benitez.

The Facebook account, which was traced to Suarez, had posted ISIS beheading videos and also was seen asking for instructions on how to make a bomb.

Suarez, a restaurant worker who never actually made a bomb, received the inert device from an FBI informant after giving him supplies to make an explosive with galvanized nails.

I have a great idea: lets import millions more of these people to show the world how diverse and non-judgmental we are.

Yup, wasn’t it last week that some woman on the beach was thrown a$$ over tea kettle by some “ beach explosion”?
The media dropped it and never said anymore about it.

Feeling no sympathy for the guy, I say doesn't count.

How stupid do you have to be to try to buy a ready-made bomb from some guy on the internet?
