Seattle: police seized “motivational” documents from suspect in failed jihad plot against military center

Jul 2, 2011 7:53 pm By Marisol Seibold

“Be the bomb. Nananananananana….”

Abdul-Latif did intend to undertake a suicide mission, as the report below notes he made a video to be played after his death in pursuit of Allah’s promise of paradise to those who “slay and are slain” in jihad (Qur’an 9:111). An update on this story. “Police seized “˜motivational documents,” attack plans from Seattle terror suspect’s apartment,” by Levi Pulkkinen for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, July 1 (thanks to Kenneth):

Federal investigators targeting a SeaTac man suspected of planning an attack against a South Seattle military processing center seized “motivational documents” and an attack plan from his apartment, according to recently released court documents.

In search warrant receipts unsealed Friday, an FBI special agent investigating Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, 33, and his alleged accomplice, Los Angeles resident Walli Mujahidh, noted that investigators seized various documents, cellular phones and a computer during a June 22 search.

Charged June 23 with planning a suicidal attack against a East Marginal Way South recruit processing center, Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh have been ordered jailed without bail pending the case’s resolution.

According to the allegations, Abdul-Latif was arming himself and two confederates for an attack against the Military Entrance Processing Station, a Department of Defense induction center on East Marginal Way in South Seattle. Authorities learned of the plan after a man asked by Abdul-Latif to join in the attack went to police.

In court documents, Abdul-Latif is described as a man who idolized Osama Bin Laden and was incensed about American military activities in Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen. Federal prosecutors claim to have Abdul-Latif on tape praising terrorists, complaining about American abuses overseas and preparing to attack the two-story building.

Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh, 32, are charged with planning to storm the center with automatic rifles and grenades in order to kill recruits and Department of Defense employees working there. Prosecutors claim the plot was thwarted in the 11th hour after another Muslim man approached by Abdul-Latif in late May went to Seattle police, then acted as an informant.

During the recorded conversations, Abdul-Latif allegedly expounded on his desire to kill Americans and said he admired bin Laden.

“Abdul-Latif said that “˜jihad” in America should be a “˜physical jihad,” and not just “˜media jihad,” expressing his view that it was necessary to take action rather than just talk,” an FBI agent told the court. “Abdul-Latif referred to the 2009 Fort Hood massacre, when a single gunman killed 13 people … (and) said that if one person could kill so many people, three attackers could kill many more.”

Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh were arrested June 22 and are currently charged with attempting to kill U.S. government officers and employees and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction — a hand grenade — as well as related offenses. Each faces a minimum sentence of 30 years if convicted as charged.

Searching Abdul-Latif’s home at the Hunt Club Apartments complex, investigators seized what were described as “motivational documents” and “attack planning documents.” Neither is described in detail.

Also taken was a video camera with a tape. Investigators allege Abdul-Latif — who had posted numerous videos to Youtube — planned to leave a recording of himself behind after the attack….
