St. Kate's terror case highlights lack of framework for early intervention
StarTribune.com ^ | 5/7/18 | Stephen Montemayor

The college student, then just 18, left little doubt of her intentions when federal agents in Minnesota approached her last fall following a thwarted attempt to go to Afghanistan.

Tnuza Hassan offered a surprisingly forthcoming account of her itinerary and the reasons behind it in the September encounter: The St. Catherine University student said she wanted to join al-Qaida and, when pressed by an FBI agent, conceded that she would be willing to kill if ordered. Agents later found an image of the twin towers in flames on a cellphone she ditched before flying overseas.

But four months passed before Hassan's arrest for setting nine fires on her St. Paul college campus in January, in what she allegedly explained was to be deadly retribution for U.S. military actions in the Middle East. Now awaiting trial on charges that carry the potential for a steep prison term, Hassan's case has invited questions of whether more could have been done in the months before the fires — especially after December, when she was again stopped from flying internationally.

More than three years after Minnesota emerged as a test case for countering terror recruitment, the circumstances around Hassan underscore a lack of resources available to effectively intervene with those suspected of being on a path to extremism.

Thank you, Star Tribune.

Even though she was hell-bent on killing...

It's our fault.

Yes, they do. And, that is they are the only local media trying to spin this in favor of the gal with the really cute moustache.

ALL muslims are religiously obligated to convert or kill the rest of humanity.

They are forbidden to befriend infidels.

Remember that next time you think you are friends with a muslim.

Excuses excuses.

Red Star Tribune is okay with an Islamonazi arsonist attacking a Christian school. No hate crime or bias there.

Godless Communism kills.

I’ve often wondered, where do these “moderate” Muslims worship? In the same mosques as the radicals? Are there moderate denominations with moderate congregations in separate mosques, like some Christian denominations such as Lutherans or Baptists? Or like the various denominations of Judiasm which have separate congregations for their specific form of worship? I’ve never seen any mosque in any city that didn’t look exactly like any other mosque, specifically, the monstrosities with the four towers in each corner and a community center attached. It seems to me they all worship together and all receive the same message.

There is no moderate Koran.
