This was no guy with backpacks. He brought a car filled with what he thought was explosives, parked it under a 60-story skyscraper, and activated the trigger. We're lucky the FBI got ahead of him or we'd have another bombing like the first attempt on the WTC, maybe OK City.

Oh, the FBI was ahead of this guy alright...all of 19 years old...I think the Feds were the ones that furnished the vehicle, and even packed it with phony explosives for this guy no less....After the Feds read this guys public rants on the internet...

Not what you'd consider highly trained, terrorist operative.

I find this story a little odd.

First it states:

Undercover agents posing as members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell were introduced to him

Then:

The agents meeting with Smadi said they tried to discourage him from violence on several occasions, the release states.

Why would members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell attempt to talk this "terrorist" out of using violence?

Coincidently, the Ellis County Sheriff's Department said Smadi was arrested on Sept. 11 because he had no driver's license or insurance

The feds that set up this undercover skit with this moron, must have gagged when that happens.

And what does this say about the local law enforcement...They pull over a guy, a Muslim in the country illegally, who is broadcasting on the Internet that he wants to kill Americans, and they give him a ticket for no license and no insurance....lol...that is sad.

I could just see the feds conducting surveillance on this idiot, seeing the local sheriff arrest him for this minor crap, and the Feds run down to the jail, demanding they release Bozo immediately, because the local sheriff is blowing their concocted terrorist bomb plans.

The Dallas Observer article offers specific details about the investigation and capture of Smadi and includes a copy of the complete Federal search warrant issued for his arrest.

Jordanian illegal. Well, this goes along with what I’ve been saying for the last 7-8 years. The next terror attack is going to walk across our southern border while we’re all standing in line in our socks at the airport.
