A 20-year-old Kansas man plotted to kill American soldiers with a vehicle bomb at the Fort Riley military base, an attack he planned to carry out on behalf of the ISIS terror group, prosecutors announced Friday. John T. Booker, also known as Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, was arrested as part of a lengthy FBI investigation. Federal authorities said he was arrested near the army base in Manhattan, Kansas, as he completed final preparations to detonate the bomb, which had, in fact, been rendered inert while he was under FBI surveillance. “As alleged in the complaint, John Booker attempted to attack U.S. military personnel on U.S. soil purportedly in the name of (ISIS)," said Assistant Attorney General Carlin.

Mohammed Abdullah Hassan?
That’s an odd name for an Amish lad.
He’s part Irish too.
Workplace violence no doubt. May God help us if this perp is dark skinned!
If this isn’t real Islam, the entire current middle east isn’t real Islam.
Tea Bagger! Tea Bagger!
Who’s gonna care for Mohammed’s 9 year old wife now?
I knew it without looking.
He does look a little like he could be the son of a rather famous Muslim living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
His 10 year old wife.
He’s a fine little democrat. In fact one might say he’s a progressive Liberal
“He’s a fine little democrat. In fact one might say he’s a progressive Liberal”
Jihadis are not liberal at all, or progressive, unless you’re talking about progressing back to 600 AD.
mo hammed? Who would have guessed the fool and traitor terrorist was a moozlum? Shocking!
Thank you FBI. You saved untold lives and misery.
I guess they have to do it this way, but they frequently seem to wait right until the perp is about to deliver/detonate the explosive.
Mohammed Abdullah Hassan,........I was right and didn’t even look first..................
Obama is making sure that the zone is flooded; the FBI is bound to miss some.
He did not have explosives. He had Silly Putty. Same as the Christmas Tree Bomber in Portland o couple of years ago. The guy may be a real Sh!tbag. And he may have really wanted to blow something/someone up, but without the FBI to guide and encourage him, he couldn't blow his nose. I am not saying it is entrapment, but it is a fine line.
Not sure how else the feds can find these guys other than hanging out on jihad websites, but I think the media blows these up as a bit more of a threat than they really are.
Just trying to keep it real. There my be some lonewolf guys that connect to some jihadi group and carry out an attack, so I don't discredit this work. But the real major attack will come across our unsecured border. They won't be asking how to build a bomb from the kitchen of your mom online. IMHO.
“Fort Riley military base”
It’s a fort, or post, not a “base”.
They made the switch while he was distracted looking at the borderline elderly nekkid Korean dancing “girls”. (Shudder)
