Title: Bomb suspect to classmate: 'I hate Americans'

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Somali-born university student met with an undercover FBI agent in August at a Portland hotel and told him he had found the perfect location for a terrorist attack: the city's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

Mohamed Osman Mohamud told the agent that he had dreamed of carrying out an attack for years, and the city's Pioneer Courthouse Square would be packed with thousands, "a huge mass that will ... be attacked in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays," according to an affidavit.

On Friday, Mohamud parked what he thought was a bomb-laden van near the ceremony and then went to a nearby train station, where he dialed a cell phone that he believed would detonate the vehicle. Instead, federal authorities moved in and arrested him. No one was hurt.

The case is the latest in a string of alleged terrorist plots by U.S. citizens or residents, including one at Times Square in which a Pakistan-born man pleaded guilty earlier this year to trying to set off a car bomb at a busy street corner.

Officials said Mohamud had no formal ties to foreign terror groups, although he had reached out to suspected terrorists in Pakistan.

Authorities have not explained how a young Muslim man described by friends as an average university student who drank an occasional beer and hung out with fraternity friends became radicalized.

Mohamud is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, and it wasn't clear if he had a lawyer yet.

FBI agents say they began investigating after receiving a tip from an unidentified person who expressed concern about Mohamud. The Washington Post reported that the tip came from a member of the Muslim community.

At 15, he told undercover agents, he made a prayer for guidance, "about whether I should ... go, you know, and make jihad in a different country or to make like an operation here."

Mohamud graduated from high school in Beaverton. In a science class, he once gave presentation on how a rocket-propelled grenade worked, NBC station KGW-TV reported.

One of Mohamud's former classmates told KGW of an argument the pair had over a messy locker. "The main thing was, the way he said he hated Americans," said Andy Stull. "It was serious. He looked me in the eye and had this look in his eye, like it was his determination in life – 'I hate Americans!'"

Mohamud dropped out of Oregon State University in Corvallis on Oct. 6, the school said. He hadn't declared a major.

Yosof Wanly, imam at the Salman Alfarisi Islamic Center in Corvallis, said Mohamud was a normal student who went to athletic events, drank the occasional beer and was into rap music and culture.

Wanly said Mohamud was religious but didn't come to the mosque consistently. Meanwhile, authorities say arson caused a fire at that same mosque early Sunday morning. Carla Pusateri, a fire prevention officer for the Corvallis Fire Department, said "quite a bit of evidence" was left at the scene, which led her to believe the fire was intentionally set. No injuries have been reported.

The fire on Sunday was contained to one room, burning 80 percent of the center's office, Wanly said. The worship areas were untouched.

Beginning in August 2009, court documents allege, Mohamud began e-mail communications with a friend overseas who had studied in Oregon, asking how he could travel to Pakistan and join the fight for jihad.

The e-mail exchanges led the FBI to believe that Mohamud's friend in Pakistan "had joined others involved in terrorist activities" and was inviting Mohamud to join him, prosecutors say. Subscribe to *Liberals spiritual kinsmen*

This makes nine attempted terror attacks since Owe-bama's Inauguration (that we know about).

What does that have to do with noting the terrorists are escalating over the past two years, more or less?

Are you claiming it has something to do with Obama?

If so, similarly, would it be fair to at least place some of the blame for 9/11 on Bush?

Nope.

I'm noting the terrorists are ESCALATING again.

Sheesh.

Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.

Still wasn't 'blaming Owe-bama'. You and a couple of others need to get that knee jerking check out by medical authorities.

The terrorists are ramping up, just like they did in 1998 and 1999 in my view.

Ok. So why, in your opinion, is this happening? BTW, who's "Owe-bama?"

I think those that would kill us all follow the Art of War. Owe-bama appears weak, and thats when you attack according to that centuries old manual on warfare.

They viewed the nation as 'weak' in December of 2000 when bin Laden authorized the 9/11 attack. As bin Laden noted in a half a dozen 'messages' afterwards.

To the outside world, it appeared we were tearing each other apart over the POTUS election cycle of that year.

bin Laden made the exact same mistake the Japanese, Germans, and Italians made in December of 1941.

Uh huh.

And they kept viewing us as week through the 2000's as they ramped up attacks in Iraq and elsewhere?

I guess they also viewed Reagan as weak when they attacked us in Lebanon and Bush Sr. as weak when they blew a PanAm 747 out of the sky over Lockerbie.

You don't really pay attention to what bin Laden says, do you?

He cited the withdrawal from Lebanon after the Beirut bombing as one of the reasons he thought we were 'weak' and 'wouldn't fight'.

You can find this information for yourself quite easily btw.

OK, we agree that they viewed Reagan as weak.

And, they must have viewed Bush/Cheney as weak or they wouldn't have continued to attack us for all the years they were in the White House.

Just one more example of why liberals can't be trusted with national security issues, GO.

You guys think its only a partisan issue. bin Laden and his ilk want us ALL dead. They dont' care who you voted for last month.

Dem or Repub, it doesn't matter to THEM.

It only matters to liberals like you, as this thread demonstrates conclusively.

Thanks for playing, though.

So we should go back to those who got over 7,000 Americans killed on their watch at the hands of terrorists?

You can do whatever you like. Want to review the 900 American killed between the 72 Munich Massacre, and September 10th, 2001?

Fine by me.

Up until 9/11, we allowed them to slaughter Americans routinely. Post 9/11, we fight back.
