Florida man charged in plot to bomb September 11 memorial event

2015-09-11

[Express] A man faces up to 20 years in jail after allegedly helping to plan a bomb attack on a memorial to the September 11 attacks. Joshua Ryne Goldberg was arrested and charged with distributing information relating to explosives, destructive devices and weapons of mass destruction.

Goldberg, who began talking online with an FBI informer in July, and reportedly gave them information on how to build a bomb with a pressure cooker, nails and rat poison. He also told the informer to place the bomb at an event commemorating the 14th anniversary of 9/11 in Kansas City, Missouri today.

In a message sent on August 27, he reportedly wrote, "Put the backpack near the crowd. But make sure it's in a place where the [police] won't think anything of it."

Court documents allege he was traced after tweets about a Daesh-inspired shooting in Texas in May earlier this year. Two armed men were gunned down after opening fire at a controversial event which featured cartoon depictions of Mohammed. He tweeted, "I have a vast network of mujahideen around the world, and will continue to inspire and coordinate jihad attacks around the world."

#4 The Times of Israel has the dirt on this one, with whom they had personal experience -- a real piece of work with his keyboard. A taste:

Joshua Ryne Goldberg faces 20 years in jail; same man reported to have posted foul, hoax blog on Times of Israel in April

The FBI arrested a 20-year-old American Jewish man for posing as an Islamic State extremist, calling for terrorist attacks, claiming to be planning attacks in Australia and the United States, and providing information on bomb construction to a second party. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the same man, who it named as Florida resident Joshua Ryne Goldberg, also posed as a respected Australian lawyer in April to maliciously post a racist blog post on The Times of Israel.

Goldberg claimed, however, that he did not intend for an attack to take place. He said he wanted to inform police of the plan ahead of time in order to get credit for stopping an attack. He also said he thought the bomb-maker may kill himself in the process and at another point claimed that he did not expect anyone to actually build the bomb as âthese guys are pussy keyboard warriors.â

Just like one of those firebugs who crave hero status for calling the fire department to put out the fires they start. A good thing they caught him in the early stages.
