PORTLAND, Ore. A Somali-born teenager who thought he was detonating a car bomb at a packed Christmas tree-lighting ceremony downtown here was arrested by the authorities on Friday night after federal agents said that they had spent nearly six months setting up a sting operation.
The bomb, which was in a van parked off Pioneer Courthouse Square, was a fake planted by F.B.I. agents as part of the elaborate sting but the threat was very real, Arthur Balizan, the F.B.I.s special agent in charge in Oregon, said in a statement released by the Department of Justice. An estimated 10,000 people were at the ceremony on Friday night, the Portland police said.

Diversity is a wonderful thing:)
Probably drawing welfare benefits to finance his plans.
So, letting my mind wonder a bit. Thinking how something like this wouldve been handled about 50 years ago or so compared with today. Amazing how things like that never happened much back then, you know, before TSA, Homeland Security and all. Yeah, some town in middle America discovers some Muslim from Somalia about to blow up a bunch of people at a Christmas tree lighting event. Just imagining how those local folk would deal with this guy.
Wonder whatever happened to that those redneck militia types who didnt even know ho to make bombs that were arrested this past year? Remember those guys? The judge tried to release them because of lack of evidence and DOJ refused. Never heard anything since. So, its been quite awhile since their arrest. Anyone hear anything? Is there a case being brought against them? Are they terrorists or are they just a bunch of rednecks with guns that Obama wanted to make an example of?
And alllllll the way down at the end is the first mention of the words “Islam” or “Muslim”, but it’s just the usual “we denounce terrorists who fail” BS:
On Saturday, Muslim and Arab American leaders in Oregon and southwest Washington condemned the attack in a joint statement, calling it inexcusable and without any justification in Islam or authentic Muslim tradition.
Reportedly, this guy didn’t care whether he killed children. Heartless SOB.
In the mean time keep strip searching grandma and letting anyone named Mohammad through because it's just a coincidence that all of the terrorists - I mean, man made disaster causers - so far have been Islamic radicals.
This shows how important and powerful the vote is in Washington -— far more important than our soverignty or our borders, which includes our national security.
You let them in....this is what you get. When will we lose another 3000 people, or more?
The pig should be drawn and quartered after being told his parts will be wrapped in pig fat, ground and mixed in with feed at the pig farm.

Yep!
If the government doesn’t start taking these Muslim POS seriously, I see a day where these radicals just start disappearing. We’re not Europe...
Glad Oregon won’t make the connection between a boy named Mohamhead and Islam violence. We must be tolerant even if it means getting blown up.
They don’t even allow the name Christmas Tree here, it’s called “The Tree.”
Pray for America
He’s a psychopath and a Muslim, and the two go together.
To fast free. I say Staked out....Honey....Ants. Slow death for this POS death cult follower.
I was born in the Greater PDX area, scary!
I`d test these scumbags for tissue compatibility and communicable diseases,if someones a match, if they`re willing, and don`t mind taking a scumbag terrorist`s organs,I turn this puke killer wanna-be into a life saver by converting him into spare parts for people in need.
