"Tarek Mehanna, of 6 Fairhaven Circle, is accused of conspiring with Ahmad Abousamra and others to obtain the automatic weapons needed to carry out a mall ambush in which they planned to open fire at random." And apparently no one among the Muslims of Boston took him aside and explained to him that he was getting Islam all wrong, wrong, wrong.
"Feds: Sudbury man planned terrorist attacks at shopping malls," by Laura Crimaldi for the Boston Herald, October 21 (thanks to Islam In Action):
A 27-year-old man from Sudbury has been arrested on charges he planned terrorism attacks inside and outside the United States, including a plot to use automatic weapons to open fire at shoppers and emergency responders in shopping mall attacks, federal prosecutors said today.Tarek Mehanna, of 6 Fairhaven Circle, is accused of conspiring with Ahmad Abousamra and others to obtain the automatic weapons needed to carry out a mall ambush in which they planned to open fire at random, said Acting U.S. Attorney Michael K. Loucks.
The plot included plans to fire at emergency responders, but was abandoned because the men could not obtain the weapons, authorities said.
Prosecutors also allege the men discussed participating in violent Jihad against American interests and their desire to die on the "battlefield."...
Schools and school buses attacked by jihadis: Beslan, Ma'alot, Kfar Bara, Avivim, Ma’agan Michael. Attacking our children is a prominent feature of the jihad play book. What will Obama do if it happens in the US on his watch?
Good question, Saracen.
He will most likely find a link between the Bush administration's failure to ratify the Kyoto treaty, right wing talk radio, and the lack of socialized manditory health insurance to deflect the blame from him to just about everyone who is not a Muslim.
SaracensAtTheGates : What will Obama do if it happens in the US on his watch?
You meant 'when', right?
Sadly, I have to agree. The Jihad looks at the One's policies and can only conclude that he is weak and will not respond to an attack on US soil.
Seems like it would be okay to shoot back, even in Boston.

Somebody mention school buses?.....see Jihad watch 5/21/2006
"Two Saudi men board school bus in Tampa, are arrested: a case of the wrong bus, or something more serious?"
Abdullah Mikail might call this one a loner, only 1 of 500,000, a nobody, a nutcase....but one thing stands out...he's definitely been reading his Qur'an...
