FBI Sting Nets NY Federal Reserve Bomber
2012-10-18
Was it Ron Paul who wanted to do away with the Fed?
To those who roll their eyes at the terrorist threat against the United States -- who contend that the authorities have caught only aspirational incompetents -- there's a new one-word answer: Nafis.

That is, Quazi Mohamad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, a 21-year-old Bangladeshi man arrested by the FBI and NYPD after he attempted to detonate a 1,000-pound bomb outside the Federal Reserve building downtown.
Police problem. Move along.
Nafis entered the U.S. on a student visa, purportedly to study at Southeast Missouri State University. Quite innocent, he must have seemed. But there is no doubt that he came to "destroy America," as he wrote.

Will anyone rise to accuse the bureau of spying on Muslims or Bangladeshis? Just wait.
Poor, innocent kid mislead by some Romney tool in the FBI.

#7  Sad thing is we only catch the stupid ones. We should cull from the top not the bottom.

#6  The bonehead jihadists are still trying. He was on a student visa. Shades of the 911 plotters.

#3  The closing lines of Bobby's op-ed (which is why I moved it to page 4. tu3031 posted a news article on this yesterday, but not an opinion piece. Not to mention that as new information comes out, new articles on the subject will need to be posted.):

Lucky we are that New YorkÂ’s protectors averted this, the 15th terror plot against the city since 9/11. God bless them all.

May they be blessed indeed, those rough men and women who stand guard here at home that we may sleep safely in our beds.

#2  Interesting that the Bureau could provide the inert explosives and make the arrest just a few weeks before the election.

#1  I see tu3031 posted this yesterday. That's the problem with being an early-bird.
