A 19-year-old has been arrested in connection with a plot to detonate a vehicle bomb at an annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon, on Friday evening, the Justice Department announced.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Somalia, was arrested on suspicion of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. He is a resident of Corvallis, Oregon, and is a student at Oregon State University, according to the FBI.
Mohamud was arrested by the FBI and Portland Police Bureau after he attempted to detonate what he believed to be an explosives-laden van that was parked near the tree-lighting ceremony in Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Justice
Department said in a written statement, but the device was actually inert.
"The threat was very real. Our investigation shows that Mohamud was absolutely committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale," said Arthur Balizan, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Oregon. "At the same time, I want to reassure the people of this community that, at every turn, we denied him the ability to actually carry out the attack."

yep, bush’s pals.
And in the meantime we continue to let more of these animals into the country.
The time grows closer... Cowboys and muzzies.
Attempted mohamicide!
Yeah, merry islamas from the “religion” of pieces.
NINETEEN is not a “teen.” This is an adult...and I really resent the media for trying to pass this bastich off as a child figure. Subtle as it is, they are setting this up as an immature, confused kid who was just led astray by the “real” bad guys. BS.
THIS IS a bad guy. Period!
Next comes the mental problem scenario and I am sick of it! isam IS a mental problem in and of itself and anyone who practices it is, by definition, deranged.
A holly jolly Somali Semtexmas. Almost.
Amen Brother. 19 is old enough to vote and defend the country.19 is plenty old enough to know right from wrong.
String him up and let the buzzards have a happy Thanksgiving.

I wholeheartedly share your animosity, rage against the media as much as anyone and I'm not at all meaning to be disrespectful, glib, irreverent when I say this but...
Nineteen, Nine-"teen", by its very definition, description does still makes this would-be terrorist a teen, not to diminish his culpability by having him considered underage. That's why they're called teens in their adolescent years as it encompasses ages thir"teen" up to nine"teen".
I agree. Hang him as soon as possible. No ACLU needed. Just get a rope, find a tree and hang him until dead. Bury him in a casket full of pig fat and fill the grave in with the entrails.
Glad these animals respect our religious traditions.
Here's a picture of the a-hole. Give him a show trail, shoot the bastard and sew him up inside of a pig carcass.
Another ISLAMIC Terrorist....
The Faith of Hate and the Cult of Insanity strikes again
Let me guess, white racists drove him to it? Bush tax cuts? Unemployment?
That’s great.
You and I get to be harassed and molested in order to travel while while the US is flooded with tens of thousands of “refugees” from islamic countries every year.
All of the above.
What a great line.
Get this man a cigar and a 357 Magnum, fully loaded.
