Florida Jewish center attack plot thwarted, feds say

A man's planned explosive attack on a South Florida Jewish center was thwarted by the FBI through an undercover operation involving a dummy bomb, authorities said Monday.

James Medina, 40, made his initial appearance in federal court Monday following his arrest last week in the alleged plot against the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center, which includes a synagogue, school and meeting halls. Medina is charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, which carries a potential life prison sentence.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Marc Anton said the FBI learned in March that Medina - a Muslim convert who said in court he also goes by James Muhammad - planned to bomb the center by placing a device under a car or throwing it over a wall. An FBI undercover operative was used to provide Medina with a fake bomb.

Another quote from Medina: “When I’m doing this, I feel that I’m doing it for a good cause for Allah,” he is quoted as saying.”

Dummy bomb? Is this another one of those cases where there never would have been any crime at all without FBI assistance?

...and the media was QUICK to find out what the Obama-enabler Debbie Wasserman Schmuck had to say about the whole situation.

As if Debbie really gave a crap about fighting Muslims.

Exactly. They come out like clockwork every 6 months or so.

They usually spend a million and up to a year and a half to get some retarded person to “commit” the crime AFTER the FBI stuffed a bomb in their pocket.

It is only done to appear to appear to fight terrorism.

That’s pretty much their status quo these days, security theater like TSA doing a grope down of a 6 year old child in a wheelechair.
