PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal agents in a sting operation arrested a Somali-born teenager just as he tried blowing up a van he believed was loaded with explosives at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, authorities said.
The bomb was an elaborate fake supplied by the agents and the public was never in danger, authorities said.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested at 5:40 p.m. Friday just after he dialed a cell phone that he thought would set off the blast but instead brought federal agents and police swooping down on him.
Yelling "Allahu Akbar!" — Arabic for "God is great!" — Mohamud tried to kick agents and police after he was taken into custody, according to prosecutors.

Profile the Quakers.
Let me guess. Andreas' Fault.
Piss on islam and its prophet(May pig shit be upon his head).
Piss on obama, too.
What you said.
“This defendant’s chilling determination is a stark reminder that there are PEOPLE — even here in Oregon — who are determined to kill Americans,” Holton said.
Not “people;” Muslims.
some posts by liberal at other forums LOL
Well, yay, this guy is a jerk and would participate in mass murder; but like several of these “terrorist” sting operations the past 5 yrs, would not likely have created the plan without being coaxed into doing so.
What seems to be the MO of these FBI “operations” is the following;
Some loudmouth is heard boasting in a bar , or on the internet, that he hates Americans and would be a Jihadist if he had the chance.
Someone within earshot calls authorities.
The FBI sets up an undercover operation and casually runs into this guy, usually of low intellegence, and over time befriends him and gains his trust.
The undercover “friend” suggests a bombing and lures the “jihadist” into a cooperative act of terrorism.
The undercover guys make the false bomb and assign the “jihadist” to be the driver, or lookout, etc.
The fake operation is carried out, and the low intellegence “jihadist” is arrested for attempting to commit a terroritst act.
This type of low-intellegence operation has been carried out several times during the Bush and Obama adminstrations; I believe at lease once in NY (Bronx) and once in Miami. It supposedly makes the FBI, etc. look “good” and appears as it they are stopping terrorist acts.
But, as noted above, none of these type of terrorist acts would have occurred unless they lured some jerk, albeit one with outwardly hateful HOPES, into THEIR plan.
It appears the only purpose of these operations is to feather the FBI’s own nest.
Bronxx’s point is that these people wouldn’t have committed these crimes if it were not for the work of the FBI. In other words, the FBI gives them enough resources and planning to make something happen. Without the FBI’s help, there would be no crime, or attempted crime.

I think Baraq should pardon him and sponsor @ Harvard.
Sounds like a Democrat success story in the making to me.
Just heard it reported on the radio:
"...an islamic terrorist shouting " allahu akhbar..."
The Bush family is doing the best they can. The Somalians are one of their favored groups.
I live near Portland. It is so Marxist there, that Socialism is openly talked about as a proper way of life. These morons are deluded into thinking paying lots of taxes is GREAT! Yea, enough said.
They are also of the mind that if we just appease the Mooslums, they will like us, its all America’s fault. If a Mooslum has gone and deliberately tried to attack here, that’s a friggin tap upside the head with a bat that NO, bowing to Mooslums and appeasing them WILL NOT WORK. All it does is make you MORE vulnerable to them.
Not that the morons in Portland are gonna get it. They can’t step back from their koolaid IV’s long enough to even start to see it.
Which means this will officially be recorded as domestic terrorism.
They did not walk in over the border; Bush and Clinton brought them in.
Another big problem with that idiot’s comments, Muslims do not hang out in bars. 1) Alcohol is a NO NO, and 2) gays in bars are a no no. and 3) loose women with no hair coverings and shirts above the level of the bottom of their butts are “fouled” women.
Looking for Muslims in a bar is about as effective as strip searching the grandma in the wheelchair at the airport.
Liberals... what can you say? Stuck on stupid just does not seem to cover it anymore.
I trust this youth was Mirandized and offered an attorney and that his parents were with him before he was questioned.
More evidence why Savage defines it as a "mental disease'!
Perhaps we need to lobby for formal acceptance into lex medica?
LOL! Dobie Gillis.
How about Maynard G. Karim Hussein Mohamed Al-Nasser?
Report doesn’t say, but I’m gonna go with the safe bet that’s he’s Amish.
So he was screaming “Allah akbar!”? Obviously a misunderstood Mennonite.
