(CNN)Hasher Taheb, 21, of Cumming, Georgia, was arrested in connection with a plot to attack the White House and other federal buildings, US Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia BJay Pak said Wednesday.

Pak told reporters at a media briefing that Taheb planned to attack the White House and other locations using explosives that included a homemade explosive and an anti-tank rocket. Taheb was investigated after officials received a tip from the community Pak said. Chris Hacker, FBI special agent in charge of the Atlanta office, said the investigation took more than a year. Taheb was acting alone, he said.

The suspect made a brief court appearance in Atlanta, where a federal judge explained the charge against him. His next appearance is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET on January 24.

Taheb was acting alone, he said.

Of course he was. Terrorists never act on behalf of a group, a mosque, a religion, or whatever.

Thank God it’s not another Episcopalian.

This just gets curiouser and curiouser. I, for one, am baffled.

[McGruff]

Did Nancy Pelosi’s comments trigger him?

[grayboots]

And the DemocRATS want to shutdown the terrorism committee. Democrats step in it again!

Let me guess, first generation American?
Or chain migration beneficiary?

I hope no classic Dodge Chargers were harmed in the process.

HASHER JALLAL TAHEB.

From a long line of Georgia Tahebs, I’m sure.

Wonder which Georgia unit his great, great, great grandfather served in during the Civil War?

Quick...call PETA.

We have to stop importing muslims.

It is their religious duty to over throw the Constitution and institute sharia.

[Midwesterner53]

the local media here has been very careful not to label this guy as muslim or an extremist. They did mention he wanted a jihad. Expect this story to vanish quickly.
