Among his Internet postings, the commissioner said, was an article that states: "People have to understand that America and its allies are all legitimate targets in warfare."
This is the type of Jackass we need to look out for.
pretty spooky how close he was to pulling off his bombing plot, I watched last night as they showed the video of how powerful the little bombs were, that was not pretty.
My question is, if he is an Al Qaida Sympathizer, he goes by the name of Muhammad Yusuf, has a website called TrueIslam1, was a ghey follower of Anwar Al-awlaki( the very deceased Al Qaida leader) and really believes in Jihad, Why can nobody call him what he is, A Muslim? They just keep saying he is an American ! This is true but with all the evidence against him he is also a Muslim !
Bloomberg and his Douches are ignorant,
"He appears to be a total lone wolf," the mayor said. "He was not part of a larger conspiracy emanating from abroad."
Yeah Al Qaida is not a large organization looking to recruit Americans of Hispanic or south American ethnicity.
CBS news
An "al Qaeda sympathizer" accused of plotting to bomb police and post offices in New York City as well as U.S. troops returning home has been arrested on numerous terrorism-related charges.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced at a news conference Sunday the arrest of Jose Pimentel of Manhattan, "a 27-year-old al Qaeda sympathizer" who the mayor said was motivated by terrorist propaganda and resentment of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said police had to move quickly to arrest Pimentel on Saturday because he was ready to carry out his plan.
"We had to act quickly yesterday because he was in fact putting this bomb together. He was drilling holes and it would have been not appropriate for us to let him walk out the door with that bomb," Kelly said.

Bomb plot aimed for mass casualties
Kids are real messed up these days.
The Salt Lake Tribune
Tampa, Fla. • Tampa police have arrested an expelled student after thwarting what they deemed a potentially "catastrophic" plot to set off a bomb at his former high school and cause mass casualties on the first day of classes next week, authorities said Wednesday.
Police Chief Jane Castor said Jared Cano, 17, had threatened to plant a bomb at Freedom High School in north Tampa and detonate the device when students return Tuesday.
The suspect was arrested Tuesday night after someone alerted police to the alleged plot.
Castor told a news conference that the alleged bombing plot was planned minute by minute and the intent was to cause more casualties than the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, which resulted in 13 deaths before the two shooters killed themselves.
Castor said police and the school system "were probably able to thwart a potentially catastrophic event, the likes of which the city of Tampa has not seen, and hopefully never will."

A" Mysterious" Explosion ?
Mysterious my ass, the dumbass was building some kind of bomb and sploded himself up while doing it.
This is where I encourage all young Gazan males to join the workforce for Hamas or whatever militant rejects they choose to represent, stay uneducated people you get yourselves real far !
The Daily Star
A member of Hamas' armed wing was killed Thursday in a "mysterious explosion" in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, the group and Palestinian medical sources said.
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades announced the death in a statement, naming the militant as 20-year-old Ali Nayef al-Haj.
"Ali Nayef al-Haj of Yebna refugee camp was martyred on Thursday in an accidental internal explosion," the group said.
The group gave no additional details, but it also made no accusations that Israel was involved in the death.
Adham Abu Selmiya, a spokesman for the Hamas-run medical services in the Gaza Strip, said only that "a citizen was killed in a mysterious explosion," adding that the man's body arrived at the Abu Yusef al-Najjar hospital "in tatters."
Militants in the Gaza Strip have regularly been injured or even killed while handling explosive materials.

US intelligence to Pakistan compromised
And is anyone surprised about this?
This is the reason the U.S. kept Pakistan in the dark about Osama Bin Laden.
Dawn.com
WASHINGTON: US intelligence officials have twice handed Islamabad tips about insurgent bomb-making factories, only to find them abandoned before Pakistani troops arrived, The Washington Post reported Friday.
The vacated factories have led US officials to question whether the information had been mistakenly leaked in recent weeks or whether the insurgents had been directly warned by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, according to the report.
Relations between the two longtime allies have been seriously strained since US commandos raided a compound just a mile from a prestigious military academy deep in Pakistan, killing al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who had been living there undetected for years.
The United States has been trying to bolster its relationship with Pakistan since the May 2 raid, and the information sharing with Islamabad is part of that effort.
The Post said Pakistani officials were given surveillance video in mid-May that located two bomb-making plants in the remote tribal areas of North and South Waziristan.
But by the time Pakistani troops arrived on June 4, the sites had been vacated.
A senior Pakistani military official said the United States had shared information about weapons storage facilities as well, but these had also been found empty.
“There is a suspicion that perhaps there was a tip-off,” the official told the newspaper.
“It’s being looked into by our people, and certainly anybody involved will be taken to task.” The ISI was formed in 1948 shortly after independence from British rule, and has played a key role in Pakistan, which has spent more than half its 64-years existence under military rule.

Rash of bomb scares is keeping Detroit squad busy
A new trend in Detroit? I have noticed there have been an increase in reports of suspicious pakages, and bombs lately, NOT in Detroit because you would not want the people around here to Know!
You might as well keep people in the dark over something like this.
Freep.com
A tool bag containing explosive materials discovered outside a federal building.
A backpack left behind at a TV news studio.
A suspicious object found at a scrapyard.
Those are just a few in a rash of bomb scares across Detroit in recent months.
The Detroit Police Bomb Squad has been called out about 25 times since the beginning of the year -- compared with about eight by this time last year, said Inspector Don Johnson Jr., who is in charge of homeland security, which oversees the bomb squad.
Sometimes, investigations reveal there was no threat. But increasingly, the squad -- which also assists other communities in the region -- is discovering explosive or incendiary materials when it has to render a suspicious device or object safe, Johnson said.

Parcel bomb plotters 'used dry run', say US officials
Again why is not more being done ?
oh yeah it is election time , Politics come first !
BBC
A US official has told the BBC that suspect packages from Yemen were intercepted in September, in what may have been a dry run for last week's foiled parcel bomb plot.
The shipments from Yemen to Chicago are reported to have contained literature and other materials, but no explosives.
The idea was to test how long it would take for the packages to reach their destination, US officials suspect.
Last week, two parcel bombs were found on cargo planes in the UK and Dubai.
The parcels - with powerful PETN explosives hidden inside printer toner cartridges - were shipped from Yemen's capital Sanaa through UPS and another US cargo firm, FedEx.

Canada bans air cargo from Yemen
And as it Should Be !
Is it just me or is everybody else wondering when Somebody, ANYBODY , is going to really show some balls in all of this ?
CBC
Canada has banned all air cargo originating from Yemen in the wake of last week's discovery of explosive material on flights bound for the United States.
The ban was not instituted based on intelligence specific to Canada, said Transport Minister Chuck Strahl. It is instead an interim measure to keep people safe while the government decides what further steps might be necessary, he said.
Earlier Monday, Germany suspended all passenger flights from Yemen until further notice. It had previously banned all cargo flights from the country after it was determined that one of the packages was routed to London through the UPS hub in Cologne.
Britain has banned all unaccompanied freight packages from Yemen and Somalia, and barred all passengers from transporting toner cartridges larger than 500 grams in their carry-on luggage as of Monday night.

World War Two bombs found on Galapagos Islands
Remnants of WWII, still are found all over the place.
(Reuters) - Fishermen have found a dozen bombs believed to be from World War Two buried on the Galapagos Islands, a local government official said Tuesday.
The bombs were found on Bartolome Island, one of the Galapagos group located about 600 miles off South America's northwestern coast.
The islands are a province of Ecuador, which let the United States set up a military base on one, Baltra Island, during World War Two due to its strategic location southwest of the Panama Canal.
Luis Martinez, chief of operations for Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island, told Reuters that the bombs posed no danger to the public but that the Ecuadorean navy had been informed as a precaution.
"This military equipment that was found dates from the Second World War and was buried. It was not in sight of the beaches, nor close to them," Martinez said.
He said the authorities were considering making a more thorough search of the area on Bartolome Island in case there were any other wartime explosives to unearth.

Israeli air strike kills Hamas commander in Gaza
And when the smoke has cleared , the Israeli's will be looked upon as the Evil Jooooos who's Missile strikes are unfounded and considered criminal Activity .
No Peace here folks , just pieces of the most screwed up place on Earth .
Tune in Tomorrow when the Annihilation of Israel Is Suggested all over the Middle East !
(Reuters) - An Israeli air strike has killed a Hamas military commander and rocket-maker in the Gaza Strip, the Islamist group that rules the Palestinian territory said on Saturday.
Issa Batran, whose caravan was hit by a missile, was the first Hamas commander killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza since Israel wound up a three-week military offensive there in January 2009.
Hundreds of Hamas supporters attended his funeral.
The Israeli military said it launched air strikes against Hamas targets in Gaza after a rocket fired from the enclave exploded in the city of Ashkelon.
The air strikes also hit a training camp used by Hamas and smuggling tunnels along Gaza's southern border with Egypt. Several people were wounded by debris, Palestinian medics said.
Hamas said Batran was a rocket-maker and the head of its military wing in the central Gaza Strip. The militant group has a rocket arsenal of crude, homemade projectiles and longer-range rockets smuggled in through tunnels under the border with Egypt.
Batran escaped an Israeli attack on his house in January 2009 during a devastating military offensive aimed at stopping daily rocket fire from Gaza into Israeli cities. His wife and children were killed in the attack.

'How to Make Bomb in Kitchen of Mom' Featured in Al Qaeda's 1st English Magazine
Al qaida , spreading their wings a little ,now have an English website , they want to help the English speaking Jihadi rejects to learn how to make a Bomb in their Moms Kitchen !
Their website sucks , Apparently , only 3 of the 67 pages will load properly , but that is not the funniest part of this , the fact that they are telling the little Bitches that wannabe part of the global Jihad how to Build a BOMB IN THEIR MOM'S KITCHEN !
It really shows you how Pathetic they are !
Foxnews
Al Qaeda's first English-language propaganda magazine, designed to encourage would-be terrorists into acts of violence, suffered an inauspicious launch -- with only the first three of the 67 pages legible due to an apparent computer glitch on Thursday.
The online publication, apparently aimed at British and American readers, includes features such as "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom."
Until now, Al Qaeda has relied on Arabic websites to carry its message, but Bruce Riedel, a Brookings Institution scholar and former CIA officer, said the new magazine was intended to build on recent success in the radicalization of Western citizens.
“[It] is clearly intended for the aspiring jihadist in the U.S. or U.K. who may be the next Fort Hood murderer or Times Square bomber,” he said. “The trend we’ve seen in the last year and a half is less global terrorism and much more homegrown domestic terrorism within Muslim communities.”...
The first edition of the magazine, published by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, includes an article by Awlaki entitled ‘May our souls be sacrificed for you’, as well as “a detailed yet short, easy-to-read manual on how to make a bomb using ingredients found in a kitchen."
It also contains part one of a treatise on ‘What to expect in Jihad’ and translated messages from Usama Bin Laden on “how to save the earth,” and his second in command

Taliban using HIV bombs
Apparently the taliban like to bury hypodermic needles within their bombs. A British MP, and a former soldier believe the taliban may be using needles infected with hepatitis, and HIV.
"Are there no depths to which these people will stoop?
Ummmmm.....no. The Sun
TALIBAN fighters are burying dirty needles with their bombs in a bid to infect British troops with HIV, The Sun can reveal.
Hypodermic syringes are hidden below the surface pointing upwards to prick bomb squad experts as they hunt for devices.
The heroin needles are feared to be contaminated with hepatitis and HIV. And if the bomb goes off, the needles become deadly flying shrapnel.

Key Al Qaeda Figure Accidentally Blows Himself Up, U.S. Officials Say
Always good to Hear ! Another Al Qaida Numnut sploding himself up ! 
Video Below is not of Nayif Al-Qahtani Blowing his ass Up , It is of some other Jihadist Douchebag Blowing his dumbass Up !
Just so you can see what it looks like when Terrorists have A Fatal Fail ,in the Field !
Foxnews
A man whom the U.S. described as a key figure in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula accidentally blew himself up, U.S. military officials told Fox News.
The officials say Nayif Al-Qahtani was "messing with a bomb" when it went off. U.S. officials had been watching him, but Fox News' sources insist the U.S. had nothing to do with his death.
Al-Qahtani was "a vibrant guy linked to ongoing operations planning, and his death will have an impact," one official told Fox News.
An Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula newsletter was the first to announce his death a week after the United States put terror sanctions on him. The newsletter did not say when it happened but said Al-Qahtani died in Yemen's Abyan province in the south of the country.
The State Department recently described al-Qahtani as "a liaison between Al Qaeda cells in Yemen and Saudi Arabia." It said he manages Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's operations in Yemen and receives financial support from abroad to launch attacks in both Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

Chile nabs Pakistani with trace explosive at U.S. embassy
I guess Pakistanis are just infatuated with Bombs , so many of them have links to Some kind of Bomb Stuff whether it be a suicide vest / Belt , or an IED , They Have their hands all up In it !
(Reuters) - A Chilean judge ordered a Pakistani man be held under an anti-terrorism law on Tuesday after he was arrested in the U.S. embassy in Chile with traces of explosive on him.
The man identified as Muhammad Saif-ur-Rehman Khan by the U.S. State Department was arrested on Monday at the embassy in Santiago where his visa for the United States was revoked.
A senior State Department official said Khan, a 28-year-old student who had been in Chile for four months, was invited to the embassy to be told that his U.S. visa was being revoked.
The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he was not aware of any link between Khan and the Pakistani-American accused of trying to bomb New York's Times Square on May 1. He declined to say why the visa was revoked.
"This man was in possession of a (U.S.) visa. Based on the information that we had, we revoked his visa. We are required to notify individuals when we take that action and we invited him in," the official said.
During routine visitor screening at the embassy, Khan was found to have traces of explosives on his clothes and was later detained by Chilean police, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said at his daily briefing in Washington.
Asked if there was a legitimate reason why the man might have been exposed to explosives -- such as working at a site where detonations occur -- Crowley replied: "We'll see."
"At this point ... we don't think that this was a spurious hit on our detection system," Crowley said.
A Chilean state prosecutor invoked Chile's anti-terrorism law to prolong Khan's detention while he is being investigated, and a judge gave a five-day extension.

North Korea readying for 3rd nuclear test: report
North Korea , After being silent for a While , are starting to make some noise again .
Maybe a Nuclear test Maybe not , All part of the Norks Game that will never end and nobody will win !
(Reuters) - North Korea is preparing for a third atomic test that may come in May or June, South Korean broadcaster YTN reported on Tuesday, an act that could further isolate Pyongyang and complicate already troubled nuclear diplomacy.
South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan dismissed the report, saying Seoul had seen no evidence, and the U.S. State Department also voiced doubts about its accuracy.
"If North Korea was making such preparations, there would be related circumstances that can be detected ... there is no intelligence on such circumstances," Yu told a news briefing.
"We are skeptical of that report," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters in Washington.
YTN quoted an unnamed diplomat as saying that preparations began in February and involve a level of technical proficiency that is significantly upgraded from the first two tests, considered partial successes at best.
North Korea has boycotted international nuclear disarmament talks for over a year and put conditions on its return that include ending U.N. sanctions imposed after its last test in May 2009 that dealt a severe blow to its feeble economy.
North Korea, scrutinized by U.S. spy satellites, can easily signal it is preparing for a test by moving equipment but that does not mean a blast is imminent, analysts said.
A third test would improve North Korea's ability to make nuclear weapons but also decrease its supply of fissile material, thought to be enough for six to eight nuclear bombs, experts say.

Seven arrested in FBI raids linked to Christian militia group
O.k. so it was not the Michigan Militia we all know and love , It was a radical christian militia preparing for Battle with the Anti Christ .
Wow , That is two Militant Christian groups that are in the news at the Same Time .
The Hutaree's ?(Stupid Ass name for a group) were making threats against Islamic groups , And selling Pipe bombs ( For possibly following through with those threats ?) It does not look good for anyone connected to this group of religious Whackjobs !
Not one to take the threat of Islam Lightly , but acting like a Radical islamist group does , is not the Answer .
Detnews.com
At least seven people, including some from Michigan, have been arrested in raids by a FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana as part of an investigation into an Adrian-based Christian militia group, a person familiar with the matter said.
The suspects are expected to make an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Detroit on Monday.
On Sunday, a source close to the investigation in Washington, D.C. confirmed that FBI agents were conducting activities in Washtenaw and Lenawee counties over the weekend in connection to Hutaree, a Christian militia group. Detroit FBI Special Agent Sandra Berchtold told The Detroit News the federal warrants in the case are under court seal and declined further comment.
Sources have said the FBI was in the second day of raids around the southeastern Michigan city of Adrian that are connected to a militia group, known as the Hutaree, an Adrian-based group whose members describe themselves as Christian soldiers preparing for the arrival and battle with the anti-Christ.
WXYZ-TV reports that helicopters were spotted in the sky for much of Saturday night, and agents set up checkpoints throughout the area. Witnesses told the station that it was like a small army had descended on the area. The Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are also involved in the raids.
Mike Lackomar, of Michiganmilitia.com, said both The Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia and the Michiganmilitia.com were not a part of the raid.
Lackomar said he heard from other militia members that the FBI targeted the Hutaree after its members made threats of violence against Islamic organizations.
"Last night and into today the FBI conducted a raid against homes belonging to the Hutaree. They are a religious cult. They are not part of our militia community," he said.
Lackomar said he was told there were five arrests Saturday and another five early Sunday. The FBI declined to comment.
One of the Hutaree members called a Michigan militia leader for assistance Saturday after federal agents had already began their raid, Lackomar said, but the militia member -- who is of Islamic decent and had heard about the threats -- declined to offer help. That Michigan militia leader is now working with federal officials to provide information on the Hutaree member for the investigation, Lackomar said Sunday.
"They are more of survivalist group and in an emergency they withdraw and stand their ground. They are actively training to be alongside Jesus," he said.
Sources from the Michigan militia community said one of the FBI raids took place Saturday during a wake for a Hutaree member who had died of natural causes. A Hutaree leader was arrested during the wake while at the same time agents were conducting raids at other locations.
The Associated Press is reporting that FBI spokesman Scott Wilson in Cleveland said agents arrested two people Saturday in northwest Ohio. A third arrest was made in Illinois on Sunday, a day after raids in northwest Indiana.

"Toronto 18" mastermind gets life for bomb plot
His sentence includes a life term for the first charge, and a nine-year term for the second, the federal prosecutor's office said in a statement. Given credit for time already served, he will be eligible for parole in just over six years.
Eligible for parole in Six Years? WTF ?
That's nuts , Hopefully that is a Misprint ? And the Canadian Judicial System is not that messed up .
TORONTO (Reuters) - Zakaria Amara, considered the ringleader of the "Toronto 18" extremist Muslim group that planned al Qaeda-style bombings of Toronto landmarks in 2006, was given a life sentence on Monday, the stiffest penalty yet imposed under Canadian anti-terrorism laws.
The sentence, handed down in a Toronto-area court, is the fourth custodial term handed out in the sprawling case, and follows a 12-year sentence given earlier in the day to admitted co-conspirator Saad Gaya.
Amara, 24, pleaded guilty in October to charges of planning explosions likely to cause serious bodily harm or death and of participating in the activities of a terrorist group.
His sentence includes a life term for the first charge, and a nine-year term for the second, the federal prosecutor's office said in a statement. Given credit for time already served, he will be eligible for parole in just over six years.
Prosecutors say Amara was the leader of a group that had planned to detonate truck bombs near targets such as the Toronto Stock Exchange, the CN Tower, an Ontario military base and the Toronto offices of the national spy agency. The aim was to force Canada to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
In reading the decision, Ontario Superior Court Bruce Durno said the crime envisioned by Amara would have been one of the most horrific in Canadian history, media reported.
Earlier in his sentencing hearing, Amara renounced his extremist views and said his interpretation of Islam was "naive and gullible."

Obama calls bomb attempt an intelligence "screw-up"
"We dodged a bullet but just barely," the White House quoted him as telling the security chiefs. "It was averted by brave individuals not because the system worked, and that is not acceptable."
Dodged a Bullet , That is a great understatement !
If The Obama administration really wants to clamp down on security loopholes , then I have a major suggestion For them ...
Try looking at Al Qaida and the Taliban along with Al Shabaab and Hamas As Terrorists !
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The attempted Christmas Day bombing of a U.S. airliner was a potentially disastrous "screw up" by the intelligence community, President Barack Obama said on Tuesday as he vowed urgent action to plug holes in air security.
Sharpening his tone as he sought to limit political fallout over the intelligence breakdown, Obama said spy agencies had enough information to uncover the December 25 plot to blow up a Detroit-bound transatlantic flight from Amsterdam but failed to "connect those dots."
On Obama's first full day back from his Hawaii vacation, he faced the challenge of spotlighting national security -- suddenly pushed to the top of his agenda -- while not looking distracted from other pressing public concerns like reducing double-digit U.S. unemployment.
"We have to do better and we will do better. And we will do it quickly," Obama said after a two-hour meeting with his national security team to discuss what he has called "human and systemic failures" in the Christmas Day incident.
Obama used his sharpest language behind closed doors, telling more than two dozen security chiefs gathered in the Situation Room, "This was a screw-up that could have been disastrous," according to the White House.
"We dodged a bullet but just barely," the White House quoted him as telling the security chiefs. "It was averted by brave individuals not because the system worked, and that is not acceptable."
