HOORAH! GO FBI GO! Outstanding Job

EDIT: Here is the link to the pdf version of his 12 page arrest affidavit:

EDIT: Some of the quotes of the terror suspect Smadi:

“In the name of God, the Gracious and the Merciful, this is my vow to you, my brother, that I am ready,” Smadi allegedly told undercover FBI agents. “And if you were a lover of Jihad as I am, then, by God, I am ready for the Jihadi life.”

“We shall attack them in their very own homes,” Smadi said, according to the affidavit. “Brother, by God, we shall attack them in a manner that hurts, an attack that shakes the world.”

“I want to destroy… targets… everything that helps America on its war on Arabs will be targeted,” Smadi allegedly told undercover agents.

“It will shake the currently weak economy in the State and the Amercian nation because this bank is one of the largest banks in this city,” he allegedly said speaking of Wells Fargo in Dallas.

Apparently he was going to light it up on 9.11 be decided to wait until after Ramadan.

FBI was working with the guy and sold him an inactive device and arrested him as he thought he was flipping the switch.

This is a pretty good (scary as shit) read.

As much as the FBI/CIA/etc can go astray with power... they still pull off some serious behind the scenes good for us.

Fountain Place

Police arrested a man Thursday after he allegedly placed an inactive car bomb near Fountain Place at 1445 Ross Avenue in downtown Dallas.








but the text says:

However, authorities said agents worked to ensure "the VBIED contained only an inert/inactive explosive device, which contained no explosive materials." The FBI said the public was never in danger.

The guy was also an illegal as well.

Kudos to the FBI for catching him. Law enforcement is the key to crack down on extremists.
