Accused Fort Hood plotter got bombmaking recipe from Al Qaeda
“Abdo admitted that he planned to assemble two bombs in the hotel room using gun powder and shrapnel packed into pressure cookers to detonate inside an unspecified restaurant frequented by soldiers from Fort Hood,” the affidavit says.
The plot was uncovered by the suspicions and quick thinking of a clerk and manager at the Guns Galore gun shop near the military base. Abdo reportedly asked the manager what “smokeless powder” was. The soldier then purchased six, one-pound containers of smokeless powder.
Same MO. Thanks.
