Key West Man Arrested For Plotting To Use Weapon Of Mass Destruction
CBS Miami ^ | 7/28/15 | Staff

Posted on 07/28/2015 1:42:46 PM PDT by ruralvoter

A South Florida man has been charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in Key West.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Harlem Suarez, a/k/a “Almlak Benitez,” 23, of Key West was posting extremist rhetoric on his Facebook page which promoted the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a foreign terrorist organization.

That caught the attention of the FBI.

The criminal complaint states Suarez told an undercover FBI informant that he wanted to make a “timer bomb.” Suarez bought galvanized nails, which were to be hidden in a backpack and remotely detonated by cell phone, states the complaint. It also says Suarez planned to bury the bomb at a public beach in Key West and detonate it.

,I>Why do these people keep using the WMD label?

Got to sell laundry detergent. The WMD gets more people to READ the article (and see the accompanying advertisements).

New and Improved Scrunge gets the WMD out 32% better than the other leading brands...

I guess the Left isn’t using that definition when claiming that there were no WMDs in Iraq

When did he become a Muslim?

If we could get that info we would know how to stop these terrorists.

Hmmm, I’ve never gotten a backpack full of galvanized nails to detonate with a cell phone. Not once. I bet galvanized nails are the wrong kind. Maybe finishing nails would detonate.

It also says Suarez planned to bury the bomb at a public beach in Key West and detonate it.

Several weeks ago there was a report of a lady at a beach somewhere in Fla. who was literally blown away by an explosion along the beach front.

No reports of shrapnel or other such stuff but the explosion remains a mystery.......

I called my Congressman...just recently. Told him..just about everything you've posted.

I feel like a second class citizen that is being targeted. While illegal aliens are being let go, even after committing horrible crimes...or living in "sanctuary cities"!!

All the while...I'm afraid of an IRS, DHS, ATF..investigation on me and mine..etc!!!

Why do I think like this.....? Because of what has happened in our country.

I pay taxes..and obey the laws. But it seems like the law-breakers in this country have trumped the people who obey the laws. The taxpayers are lower than the non-tax payers....

I worry about my country..and my children.

No she wasn't but she was literally blown away and landed on her butt and back......

Still no follow-up from the authorities on how the explosion happened........

I don’t blame you. We’ve seen nothing yet either.

The next couple of years will see Christians targeted for 2nd Century persecution, just like the Romans did.

IMO, we’ll see it in mere months. Obama is going after Christians tooth and nail, right along with guns.

That’s my take on things.

With Bonehead and McGoner our last line of defense, good luck.

Here is a picture of the back of my iPhone.

I can’t figure out to take a picture of the front of my iPhone, but I think they have an App for that.

What a friggin Maroon.

Yes, I've been in the Army. Hand grenades WERE NOT listed as WMD until the Patriot Act was passed, you know, the one that makes it easy to declare American Citizens as terrorists and incarcerate them without a trial.

Bite me.
