LOS ANGELES - US authorities thwarted a plot to blow up a car bomb at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in the western state of Oregon and arrested the suspected Somali-US bomber, officials said Saturday. The Justice Department identified the chief suspect as 19-year-old Mohamed Osman Mohamud of the town of Corvallis, a naturalized US citizen of Somali descent, who will appear in court on Monday. Mohamud was arrested Friday evening after he tried to remotely detonate what he thought was an explosives-laden van parked near the tree ceremony, which went ahead in state capital Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square. But the device was in fact a fake supplied by undecover agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the public was never in any danger, they added. “The threat was very real. Our investigation shows that Mohamud was absolutely committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale,” said Arthur Balizan, a special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon. According to court documents, Mohamud exchanged emails with a contact in Pakistan’s northwest frontier province late last year, and discussed the possibility of Mohamud traveling to Pakistan to engage in jihad. This man allegedly referred Mohamud to a second conspirator overseas and gave Mohamud a name and email address. But he was unable to make contact with him, until in June this year an FBI undercover agent contacted Mohamud, pretending to be an associate of his Pakistani contact. Mohamud and the FBI agent then agreed to meet in Portland in July, when the Somali said he had written articles that were published in “Jihad Recollections”, an online magazine urging violence against non-Muslims. He later told undercover agents that he had been thinking of conducting a holy war against infidels since the age of 15, and suggested the plot to bomb Friday’s traditional pre-Christmas ceremony in Portland. FBI operatives cautioned Mohamud several times about the seriousness of this plan, noting that there would be many children at the event. But Mohamud responded that he was looking for a “huge mass that will ... be attacked in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays,” the documents noted. In subsequent months, Mohamud mailed bomb components to the undercover FBI operatives, who he believed were assembling the device, as well as passport photos as part of a plan to help him sneak out of the country after the attack. Earlier this month, Mohamud and the undercover FBI operatives traveled to a remote location in Lincoln County, Oregon, where they detonated a bomb concealed in a backpack as a rehearsal of the upcoming attack. “I want whoever is attending that event to leave, to leave either dead or injured,” Mohamud said of the Christmas tree ceremony, according to the court documents. That same day, he recorded a video, in which he read a written statement that offered a rationale for his bomb attack. On Thursday last week Mohamud “showed the (undercover agents) the locations he had identified to park the bomb, specifically identifying the spot that he thought would inflict the most casualties.” On Friday afternoon, hours before the planned attack, Mohamud met the undercover agents to make the final preparations. “Mohamud went and looked at the bomb, which was in the back of a large white van. When Mohamud saw the bomb, he told the (undercover agents) it was ‘beautiful’,” said the affidavit. Former FBI assistant director Thomas Fuentes said the choice of Oregon was particularly alarming for ordinary Americans. “Everybody right now expects the attack to occur either in New York City, or Washington DC, or at least a major city of the United States,” he told CNN. “To have it occur in somewhere that’s not New York is an issue, because then everybody can wonder whether or not somebody in their neighborhood is plotting to do something like this in their community,” he added. Mohamud is expected to make his initial appearance in federal court in Portland on Monday.

The Eco-topia green zone, druid tree hugging spiritual center for diversity and tolerance, is the perfect incubator for terrorism.

Here's how it works. 1) Borderline Developmental Disabled BDD found 2)FBI promising cell phones clothes shoes. 3)FBI produces truck. bomb making material. 4) BDD gets in truck. 5) FBI arrests. Rinse Wash Repeat. 8D See 93 WTC and OKC Murrah Building for details

I agree; the Feebs milked this one for all it was worth. Our tax dollars at work.
Furthermore, when making this comparison, the TSA and FDA are calculating that the dose is absorbed throughout the body. According the simulations performed by NIST, the relative absorption of the radiation is ~20-35-fold higher in the skin, breast, testes and thymus than the brain, or 7-12-fold higher than bone marrow. So a total body dose is misleading, because there is differential absorption in some tissues. Of particular concern is radiation exposure to the testes, which could result in infertility or birth defects, and breasts for women who might carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. Even more alarming is that because the radiation energy is the same for all adults, children or infants, the relative absorbed dose is twice as high for small children and infants because they have a smaller body mass (both total and tissue specific) to distribute the dose. Alarmingly, the radiation dose to an infant’s testes and skeleton is 60-fold higher than the absorbed dose to an adult brain!
More Uncle Tom. And yet,....say, can you talk like a Hebe from the ghetto of Tel Aviv? ;}
LMFAO Google KKK CCC Trent Lott. Waiting for that one. 8D
Would you have preferred they would have ignored him and waited until he finally made contacts in the middle east and set off a actual bomb?

I seriously doubt Auntie Trent is a Kluxxer. For one thing,they don't like homosexuals. He is just a weasel politician that is as likely to give a speech to the Black Panthers as he is to Kluxxers.

No. I would have preferred they handled this discreetly. What bothered me was how they used this one troubled kid to make front page news when he was never really a threat to begin with - until they led him down the yellow brick road. It should never have made the big news IMO.
I think the media is more responsible for that than the FEEBS are. And he WAS a threat because of his intentions. He did his damnedest to become a mass murderer,and would have been one if his plans had gone through.

Pretty ironic that the words "Be a winner!" are right above the story on him,ain't it?

1) you didn't google it. 2) you're shitting me that you think being gay means there aren't any in the KKK now CCC.

As IMMEDIATELY with EVERYONE, you lost your rights for perceived security.
No. Can you? I'll bet you can talk like a tribesman from Somalia,Egypt,Afghanistan,or Pakistan. Amazing you can 'learn' one dialect, but not the other. 8D Attacking the slave while licking the boot. nice trick. ;}
1) you didn't google it. No,and I'm not going to,either. I don't give Kluxxers and neo-Nazis hits on their web sites. 2) you're shitting me that you think being gay means there aren't any in the KKK now CCC. Of course there are. None as flamboyant and obvious about it as Auntie Trent,though. BTW,when did the CCC become the KKK? Other than in the fevered imagination of Marxists like you,that is? Isn't this just one more attempt by the left to make conservatives look like Kluxxers and Nazi's?

Its hilarious Portland was the only city to opt out of the JTTF and the mayor and city council are now whining about being 'kept in the dark'...by the JTTF... (laughing) Especially when you go back and read the mayor and councils insane comments rationalizing their opting out in the first place. God, its HILARIOUS. My favorite is their collective assertion 'we're just the first city of many that will do this very soon.' Here we are five or six years later, and they remain the ONLY CITY in America to have done such a ridiculous thing. Today, the mayor is 'rethinking' that decision. Reminds me of Blanco needing '24 hours to think about it' related to asking the Feds to take over in Louisiana SIX DAYS after Katrina hit.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
And there are those ghettoes around where they speak your version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin? That close to your gated community. Sounds like you live in Brazil. ;}
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'll let you in on a secret. That's exactly the way kluxers talk about former slaves. And a BTW. When you google KKK CCC Trent Lott you won't be getting Kluxer sites. More like Politico. 8D
Like the evacuation of the Gulf Coast and a million deaths resulting from Obama's oil disaster, mcclown?
There must be because I hear it everywhere I go. That close to your gated community. I don't live in a gated community. If they want me,let them come and get me.

No.I can't afford friends. I gave them all up several years ago when I got tired of always being called to fix things for people or lend them tools or money. I even got a unlisted number and told the people who asked for it that if I wanted them to know what it was they would already have it. Life is much more peaceful now.
