SEATTLE -- Men from Washington and California have been arrested in plot to attack a Seattle military recruiting station, the Department of Justice says.
Justice Department officials said the two men, who were arrested late Wednesday night, took possession of machine guns that they purchased and planned to use in an attack on the Military Entrance Processing Station on East Marginal Way and that the two also planned to use grenades in the attack.
Here's the complete news release from the Department of Justice:
Two men were arrested late last night and are charged by criminal complaint with terrorism and firearms related charges.
The complaint alleges that Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, a/k/a Joseph Anthony Davis, 33, of Seattle, and Walli Mujahidh, a/k/a Frederick Domingue, Jr., 32, of Los Angeles, took possession of machine guns that they purchased and planned to use in an attack on the Military Entrance Processing Station (“MEPS”) located on East Marginal Way, Seattle.
Law enforcement has been monitoring Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh, including the weapons transaction, to prevent the attack and protect the public. Unbeknownst to the defendants, the weapons were rendered inoperable and posed no risk to the public.
The defendants initially planned an attack on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, but later changed targets.
The defendants intended to carry out their attack with both grenades and machine guns.

I noticed that the one “suspect” they have a photo up of - is captioned by his AMERICAN name.
Looks like a couple of bruvvahs from the hood became Muslims in the slam and decided it would be fun to shoot something up.
You’re right. my comment redundant
Unbeknownst to the defendants, the weapons were rendered inoperable and posed no risk to the public.
Wouldn't someone try them out somewhere first to make sure they were operable?
IMPOSSIBLE..according to Obama’s partner in crime Janet Napoletano middle eastern men under the age of 35 are nothing to be afraid of
shocked....
I can’t tell if these two guys are middle eastern or American.
It seems they may be some sort of radical black Muslim types.
“....On or about June 16-17, 2011 ABU KIIALIA ABDUL_LATIF provided the confidential source with $800 cash to pay for the weapons that he and WALLI MUKAHIDH intended to use during the attack on the MEPS...”
The weapons were “...three machineguns and several loaded magazines for the machineguns, with the understanding that they would obtain grenades and other items necessary for the attack at a later time.”
First of all it is “illegal” to own a “real machinegun” in the state of Washington. In fact Washington State law classifies any part that can convert a semiautomatic rifle into a automatic firearm is considered a machine gun. So a special trigger sear can be considered a machine gun. Most true federal defined machines guns are highly regulated and cost several thousand dollars, require a federal tax transfer payment and a letter from a local law enforcement chief.
Probably what was being considered were three “relatively” cheap MAK-47’s or MAK-90’s, which are semiautomatic weapons that sort of look like an AK-47, but only fire in a semiautomatic mode.
Let's assume that no, a real illegal machine gun was desired. The typically cost of an AK-47 parts kit (in WA it would probably be considered a machine gun, but it would have a “cut” receiver and be parts that can not be assembled into a working firearm without other parts) for about $150 to $250. It would require the purchase and construction of a receive, some gunsmith skills, and violation of lots of laws for these guys to create a working firearm. However, for $450 to $850 a working semi-auto version of an AK can be purchased, if somebody goes through a federal background check to buy it new or from a firearm dealer.
So what did they think they were going to “get” when they paid $800 for 3 machineguns, extra loaded magazines, etc?” If they were lucky they might get one or two semiautomatic rifles with not a lot of extra ammo or magazines for $800.
These guys were not smart in so many ways.

For Immediate Release
June 23, 2011
United States Attorney’s Office
Western District of Washington
Two Men Charged in Plot to Attack Seattle Military Processing Center
Defendants Sought Firearms and Grenades to Attack Complex where Enlistees Report
SEATTLE—Two men were arrested late last night and are charged by criminal complaint with terrorism and firearms related charges. The complaint alleges that Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, a/k/a Joseph Anthony Davis, 33, of Seattle, and Walli Mujahidh, a/k/a Frederick Domingue, Jr., 32, of Los Angeles, took possession of machine guns that they purchased and planned to use in an attack on the Military Entrance Processing Station (“MEPS”) located on East Marginal Way, Seattle. Law enforcement has been monitoring Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh, including the weapons transaction, to prevent the attack and protect the public. Unbeknownst to the defendants, the weapons were rendered inoperable and posed no risk to the public. The defendants initially planned an attack on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, but later changed targets. The defendants intended to carry out their attack with both grenades and machine guns.
“The complaint alleges these men intended to carry out a deadly attack against our military where they should be most safe, here at home,” said United States Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. “This is a sobering reminder of our need to be vigilant and that our first line of defense is the people who live in our community. We were able to disrupt the plot because someone stepped forward and reported it to authorities. I commend the joint efforts of the FBI, the Seattle Police Department, and the Joint Terrorism Task Force who quickly recognized the seriousness of the threat and ensured the safety of the community.”
Law enforcement first became aware of the potential threat when a citizen alerted them that he/she had been approached about participating in the attack and supplying firearms to the conspirators. The person then agreed to work with law enforcement, which began monitoring Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh. Since early June the conspirators were captured on audio and videotape discussing a violent assault on the Military Entrance Processing Station. The MEPS is where each branch of the military screens and processes enlistees. In addition to housing many civilian and military employees, the building houses a federal daycare center.
“Driven by a violent, extreme ideology, these two young Americans are charged with plotting to murder men and women who were enlisting in the Armed Forces to serve and protect our country. This is one of a number of recent plots targeting our military here at home,” said Todd Hinnen, Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security. “The threat was averted by the combined efforts of the federal, state and local law enforcement officers that make up the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.”
“The FBI remains committed to utilizing intelligence-based investigations to thwart would-be terrorists,” said Laura Laughlin, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Seattle Division. “This case epitomizes the value and capabilities of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force concept as a means of preventing acts of terrorism. But for the courage of the cooperating witness, and the efforts of multiple agencies working long and intense hours, the subjects might have been able to carry out their brutal plan.”
“This attack was foiled because of the trust and relationships the men and women of the Seattle Police Department enjoy with our community,” said Seattle Police Chief John Diaz. “The complainant felt safe approaching a Seattle Police Detective and, in doing so, ended the plot intended to take innocent lives. This cooperative investigation involving local, state, and federal partners worked exactly as intended.”
Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh are charged by complaint with conspiracy to murder officers and employees of the United States, conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction (grenades), and possession of firearms in furtherance of crimes of violence. Abdul-Latif is also charged with two counts of illegal possession of firearms. The defendants will make their initial appearance on the complaint at 2:30 p.m. in front of Magistrate Judge Mary Alice Theiler, on the 12th floor of the federal courthouse at 700 Stewart Street, Seattle. Both Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh face potential sentences of life in prison if convicted of the charges.
The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington, with assistance from the Counterterrorism Section of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. The investigation is being conducted by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, which has investigators from federal, state and local law enforcement. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) contributed significant expertise to this investigation.
The charges contained in the complaint are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
My my, these wannabe Muslims are really getting busy. It seems like every time one of these plots is uncovered the bad guys have been hanging out and doing their planning in a very liberal neighborhood.
KOMO News sure skirted the fact that they were Muslims. “Took on Muslims names” is as close as they came, and then went on with displaying their former names.

“Alleged Plot against US Military Base in Seattle Is Eighth in Two Years”
SNIPPET: “(WASHINGTON) — In the latest planned assault on a U.S. military installation — at least the eighth such conspiracy in the past two years — two Islamic converts have been arrested for allegedly plotting a Fort Hood-style attack on a Seattle center for new military recruits.
The alleged ringleader of the plot, 33-year-old Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, a convicted felon once known as Joseph Davis, has posted a number of videos on-line attacking the U.S. military, as well as comments praising al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki, who has been linked to accused Ft. Hood shooter Nidal Hasan. According to the FBI, Abdul-Latif and accused co-conspirator Walli Mujahidh, formerly Frederick Domingue, sought to determine “how they could kill the most military personnel and escape or die as martyrs” during a planned July 5 assault on the Military Entrance Processing Station.
The men discussed using “fragmentation grenades” in the facility’s cafeteria as a way of maximizing casualties, say authorities, and were arrested after they allegedly purchased automatic weapons from an informant for the planned attack.”

SNIPPET: “What I want to address first is not what he said, but who he associated with, the people with whom he had an ideological affinity, to whom he was bound by weak ties. Even a cursory examination of Abdul-Latif’s online associations places him firmly in a social network of jihadi activists I know by a number of names - Revolution Muslim and Shariah4[insert country here], to name two. There are also multiple connections to Anwar al-Awlaki’s non-Yemeni network of supporters.”
