FBI, US military in hunt for one-time recruit planning 'Fort Hood-style Jihad'
Fox News ^ | Monday, March 31, 2014 | Jana Winter

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI is searching for a recent Army recruit believed to be planning a "Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers," FoxNews.com has learned.

The alert, whose legitimacy was confirmed by military and law enforcement officials, stated that a man identified as Booker had told friends of his "intention to commit jihad." Booker, who is also known as Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, was recruited by the U.S. Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for basic training on April 7. But he was discharged last week, apparently after law enforcement authorities learned of his alleged plan.

Both the FBI and the 902d Military Intelligence Group at Fort Leavenworth are involved in the hunt.

I would expect that if the guy has any social media pages, or footprints on the internet, they’ll be under his “Booker” name. That would explain why the FBI is only releasing a partial name, since it seems apparent the authorities don’t want the public to know anything about this.

Army recruit believed to be planning a "Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers,"

or as Obama calls it "work place violence".

Most likely you are correct. Spent several hours looking and when was searching for photos of this POI was blocked or the photos were none to be found. Found plenty of names but ....

As noted above this Hassan is apparently negro. And with a name or nickname like Booker I figgered he had to be negro and that Booker was more likely his real name. Just guessing but I expect he adopted the Hassan handle to see if he could join the Army. And it’s the discharge part of the story that baffles me unless they had already figgered out the name was a ringer. Other wise there’s no way I’d discharge the dumbass-—keep him in and prosecute him into the next available color.

“How separated is that from Barack Hussein 0bama?”

Well, Barack Hussein Obama is a physical coward and leave the dirty work up to others.

Apart from that, not much.

okay, I understand ... I think the first (left side) picture is of the murderer at Fort Hood. I failed to see that earlier. Not certain if these pictures I posted at the link are in reference to the POI. Could be I made a mistake in posting that link.
