Schneider declined to say if Barakat was on the FBI’s radar.
After stonewalling as long as they could, federal and local authorities in North Dakota officially admitted that Mohamad Barakat, the Syrian Muslim terrorist, had planned to kill thousands of people at a Fargo fair.
My article, ‘North Dakota Muslim Terrorist Planned to Kill Thousands’, appeared even before the official press conference which added little except confirmation of what was already in the article.
Mohamad Barakat packed three long guns, four handguns and a vest with magazines in every pocket, as he drove through Fargo, North Dakota. The Downtown Street fair, which claims over 150,000 visitors, was on its second day and 5 minutes away. The Red River Fair, which recorded nearly as many people, was two days away from ending and 15 minutes away.
At the official press conference, authorities stated that he had indeed been headed for the Downtown Street Fair.
A Fargo man who killed a police officer last week searched online for articles about mass casualty incidents and the downtown street fair, suggesting to authorities he intended to open fire on thousands of people attending the event.
The FBI found a computer in Barakat’s Bluemont Village Apartments unit, 2801 23rd Ave. S., Wrigley said Friday at Fargo City Hall. Barakat’s search history revealed he looked up “mass casualty events” and how to cause certain injuries, according to the attorney general.
The last article that appeared in his browser history was a KVRR article titled “Thousands enjoy first day of Downtown Fargo Street Fair.”
Authorities also confirmed that Barakat was a Syrian immigrant, but are still playing coy about his motive.
Authorities said they don’t know why Barakat was planning the attack downtown or why he stopped to shoot officers Friday afternoon.
“In regards to motive, if we had clear evidence of that, we would share it,” North Dakota U.S. Attorney Mac Schneider said.
I’m sure he would. Mac Schneider was a DFL politician who lost a congressional race and got nominated as U.S. Attorney by Joe Biden.
Schneider declined to say if Barakat was on the FBI’s radar. He also declined to discuss the guardian report.
If they had Barakat’s search history, odds are there is Islamic stuff on it that they’re not talking about.
But they’re still playing the game where no one can possibly figure out why a Syrian Muslim might want to kill a bunch of Americans.
And Barakat really seemed to have big plans for mass murdering Americans.
The propane tanks filled with tannerite, an explosive commonly used for target practice, were detonated by authorities, Wrigley said. There was enough explosive material to “disintegrate” the propane tanks, he said.
Hand grenade components, rifles and “an array of live ammunition” were found in Barakat’s apartment, Wrigley said.
ThunderB on Twitter found similarities to the Times Square car bomb setup. Bring that into a major packed fair and thousands could have been killed.
We’re only going to be lucky so many times. We’re only going to get so many second chances.

Of course! It couldn’t possibly be a jihad, could it? ?
Pray Hard says
He’s not a moslem, he’s a “Fargo man” and “it had nothing to do with islam” …
People of the lie. That was a book also. America is dying.

Nonsense Muslim Boy

Not only that, but one report said they waited **hours** to even say there had been a shooting.
They proclaim that there is no danger to the public. Would they thought the day before, or early that morning, that there was a danger to the public? Clearly there was, but they didn’t announce it….likely had no idea; so how can they be sure now?
I would like to know how much he spent on his “legal” weapons and the materials for the other things….the bomb/gas stuff, the grenade, etc.
Guns are not cheap and he had several. Who helped him with the funding of this terror event?
Had he not stopped to take advantage of the accident to kill police officers and firemen, would he have met up with someone at the fair so that the others could make use of the multiple guns?
From what I have seen, and the long ago shooting practice I received from my father and uncle, it’s not so easy to hold more than one weapon at a time and still fire one.
Who was going to be helping him slaughter for his false god and fake prophet?
If the fbi and the police want to hide the fact of his belief system being at work here, how far will they go to hide the rest of the facts.

That US attorney who said about the Muslim terrorist of Fargo that “his motivations are still unknown” must have embraced intentional ignorance in his blatant blindness to the obvious truth that the religion of Islam inspired vicious jihad-minded Muslim to scheme the massacre of the Quran refers to as “disbelievers” Surah 9:123. 47:4.
Therefore that attorney be both dishonest and unethical.
Walter Sieruk says
For a US attorney to say such outright and nonsensical statement that the motive of that Fargo Muslim terrorist motive is still “unknown” does indicate that this attorney have caved in to Islamic pressure groups ,such as CAIR, as well as politically correct ideology . That attorney needs to have some backbone and take his Islamic/religious PC blinders off and wake up to the reality about that dangerous and deadly religion of Islam, Surah 2:191, 5:33. 4:89. 9:5.
Of course the reader may be sure that he will refuse to out out of denial about the violent and death inflecting religion of Islam. That doesn’t say much for him.

Mac Schneider is either a knowing liar or a willfully ignorant fool. But such a person as Schneider is dispositive of the make-up of government in America in our time.
We are now, here in the USA, overwhelmingly led by deficient people, starting with arguably the single greatest doofus in all of American history, one Joe Biden.
Not looking good. Not at all.

I saw a headline on the msn saying that some ‘law profs are telling biden to ignore the courts and the public.’ Seems he has already been doing that from day one…of his miserable life.
Others are just following his rotten example. One rotten apple can spoil the whole barrel.

More willful ignorance.

Resettle a muslim among Western society and you are resettling a ticking time bomb. Western society and all its cultural offensiveness regardingislam is a pressure cooker for them and it is only a matter of time before the lid blows.

And it is almost always the men that hate us the most and their women almost always have no problem with what the men do or think. Typical islam. It is much harder to try to cut my head of than it is to cut a woman’s head off. I dont know how many muslimas are hoping someone comes to their aid. My guess, more than we think and perhaps a lot. Please help me. Those females are much more afraid of their men. Add that to our law enforcement, dont know the motives and in their predicament, what would you do?
tgusa says
What do islamic women do? My guess is they STFU and pray for the best. Yes, that’s what many of the women of islam do everyday.
Noah Andeark says
This ackbarbarian had 1st Amendment rights to practice his faith. According to the terrorists at the terror org CAIR, he was just being muslim.
Pat Riot says
Does freedom of religion in this country also allow Muslims to execute and murder infidels, especially Christians and Jews, enslave, force those infidels who want to live to pay them the jizya, keep non-Muslim women as sex slaves, give them a free pass to rape infidels, etc.?
Why is America letting all these people in? Oh, wait… Joey-fuck-you-Brandon-dementia-Biden needs 80,000 + new IRS agents and an army of illegal voters on call! Right!
OLD GUY says
And the borders remain OPEN and the Migration invasion of islam/muslims continues everyday.
Elizabeth Lawson says
First, let me say this. Decent, civilized people – among their number millions of Moslems, don’t go out and accompanied by primitive, psychopathic hatred, purchase weaponry to murder the innocent. Militant agents assume that journey, as do the verifiably insane. To the latter comment, few if any of those who research ‘cause and effect’ of these idiots and their quest, consider that mental illness is a dominating factor in their frightening attacks. Culturally, many ‘experts’ have already claimed that Moslems have destroyed their DNA by the practice of first cousin marriages. Additionally, one has to wonder how a refugee amassed sufficient cash to purchase all the weapons he was found with – and the degree to which immigration – refugee immigration, is not only failing but is culpable in the deaths – past and future of innocent citizens?
