SEATTLE (AP) - The massacre at Fort Hood, Texas, and the ongoing war crimes prosecutions of Washington state soldiers helped inspire a terror plot in which two men planned to attack a military recruiting station in Seattle with grenades and machine guns, according to a federal complaint filed Thursday. Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, also known as Joseph Anthony Davis, of Seattle, and Walli Mujahidh, also known as Frederick Domingue Jr., of Los Angeles, were arrested Wednesday night.

The FBI ensnared them in a terror sting after they arrived at a warehouse garage to pick up machine guns to use in the attack, authorities said. The weapons had been rendered inoperable by federal agents and posed no risk to the public

"The key thing to remember here is, is we are not targeting anybody innocent—that means old people, women out of uniform, any children," Abdul-Latif is quoted as saying. "Just people who wear the green for the kaffir Army, that's who we're going after."

Uh, okay, that still means you're a terrorist!

Fry 'em!

. He said he suffered from depression and abandonment issues, that he had "huffed" gasoline and smoked marijuana to get high, and that he tried to kill himself in 2001 by deliberately overdosing on seizure medication. Oh my nice of ap to put this in the article. Always a excuse. Stay away from the truth.

Why Seattle area? ...socialism ... Baghdad Jim ... Evergreen

. ... Is it a self loathing combined with an American hatred, or just plain liberal politics?

Born and raised in Seattle/Bellevue, saw it go from conservative Boeing, (my dad’s employer, 1949-1979) to liberal Microsoft...glad I live in liberal Oregon now..:=)

going to Gunnery school.

Double good for her. I would pay my own way to do that. (I might have to take a loan to pay for the ammo)

[Tax-chick]

Thank you! I wouldn’t mind some gunnery school, myself. I haven’t shot since I was in high school and used to go to the range with my dad regularly.

Anoreth has done well with weapons, so far, except for the riot shotgun, which knocked her on her backside. She’s a little bitty Seaman.

I read yesterday that the building they chose to attack had a daycare center in it. Dimwits.
