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.

clearly the FBI is run by a bunch of Islamophobes — time to make the “Most Wanted Terrorists” list more politically correct

I come on a thread about a Somali-Born teenager who tried to bomb Christmas in Portland to get information about a serious threat to the security of this nation, and am forced to see nothing but irrelevant nonsense from a desperate Bush hater, so I react to the desperation.
I feel very sorry for you, moon man. You are indeed pitiable, and your drivel does nothing but interfere with the ability of rational people to get relevant information.
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, though. Mine was fantastic.

If someone handed him a dry erase marker (they don’t use chalkboards in schools anymore), he’d look at the blank white panel and ask why the teleprompter wasn’t working.

Terrorists are taught to blend in though, they are told to enjoy Western stuff/the lifestyle and since they are going to be blown up, why not indulge?

I predict the DOJ will get after the FBI next week for entrapment & profiling.

The 9/11 terrorists who attended flight school in San Diego did "live it up." They were drinkers and carousers. That was in part how they avoided suspicion.
As for this 19 year-old man, saying "teenager" implies a certain naivete of youth, I think he looks like he does a drag act. Those eyebrows are peculiar.

There should be an absolute prohibition on any Muslims entering this country, and every damn one of them in this country should be carefully evaluated for immediate deportation. The corrupt morons we call Congress are responsible for this mess along with the Chief Raghead in the Whitehouse (who should be formally required to produce a valid and acceptable birth certificate proving he is eligible to hold the post of President); if he can't or refuses to do so, he should be removed from office immediately.

I see no benefits from bringing these Muslims and other 3rd World creeps to this country. Is there any way to find out whose idea it was to admit him? Somebody should be held responsible for this scum being admitted. He was even given citizenship.
To: anniegetyourgun
I'm not saying it's the case in this instance but entrapment & profiling are something the system and the People must guard against to maintain freedom and credibility.
I'm a bit uneasy with which the FBI offered him so much "help" just to build their case. It sounds like this bomb attempt was his idea, however. Hopefully the case won't self destruct in the courts.

Somehow this administration will screw it up...intentionally. They seem insistent on making the world a more dangerous place.

“Yelling “Allahu Akbar!” Arabic for “God is great!” Mohamud tried to kick agents and police after he was taken into custody, according to prosecutors.”
Obviously, he was just upset with his landlord and girlfriend.
