| Teen tied to Jihad Jane allegedly plotted school shooting |
| 2011-08-28 |
| The Maryland teenager secretly arrested by the FBI for allegedly conspiring with the woman from the Philadelphia suburbs known as Jihad Jane also spoke of a Columbine-style plot with a Pittsburgh-area friend in a jihadist chat room, according to sources and documents. "I had a lot of thoughts about you today," Mohammed K. wrote to his Western Pennsylvania pen pal late last year. "About us both doing martyrdom operations together in my school. . . . It was like we both were in a big truck and had guns and we were shooting randomly at a huge crowd of kids." The chats provide new insight into a boy who at age 15 allegedly began helping Colleen LaRose, aka "Jihad Jane," the 48-year-old Pennsburg woman who U.S. officials say represents a disturbing new face of homegrown terrorism. Mohammed K. was 17 and a high school senior in Ellicott City, Md., when he allegedly wrote those threatening words. The Inquirer is not publishing his last name because he is a juvenile. Mohammed's chat room friend was Emerson Begolly, a Pennsylvania State University student who was soon charged with soliciting unrelated terror attacks. Transcripts of the chats were publicly filed in that case. |

| #3 What is this, some sort of sexting, wanting a mustache ride? DepotGuy, I think it does that, as well as expand the reasoning for in-country terrorism designations, such as the Gibson gang's gaia trafficing operations. Seriously, a couple weeks ago a guy traveled from NE to KS after allegedly saying at a bar he was going to go kill some law men. News also stated he was a member of several terrorist organizations...but never mentioned a single one of them. I know sometimes details are not released which may be the case - no free advertising for such groups - but then why mention it in the first place, isn't potential cop killer a warning enough? Then we have politicians calling certain voting blocs as terrorist orgs, like hamas except without the millions of US Aid. |

| #2 ...who U.S. officials say represents a disturbing new face of homegrown terrorism. Granted, the so-called "homegrown terrorist" presents some unique challenges. But one can't help wonder if the added emphasis is an attempt to diffuse the focus on the base commonality. |
