Fresh off of yesterday’s story that the FBI is coming under increasing criticism for detaining people on trumped up charges they can’t back up in court, the FBI has announced the arrest of 23-year-old Harlem Suarez of Key West, on charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
The weapon in question was a fake backpack bomb made by the FBI, and the claims center around reports Suarez bought some nails, and that subsequently that would make this a nail bomb, which he might conceivably have put on the beach and killed people, if it was a real bomb.
The allegations surrounding the case, as usual, seem to be extremely weak, with the report conceding Suarez had no idea how to make a bomb, and also claimed that he “placed an order” for an AK-47 online, but never got one because you can’t actually buy assault rifles online like that.
Everything that was actually done in this case seems to have been done by the FBI undercover operatives, including making the fake bomb, and making a video for Juarez to upload in which he extolled Muslims to buy AK-47s.
Sigh, here we go again.
Yeah, how stupid is it to actually consider the very idea that some people sympathize with IS and islamic extremism enough to want to plant bombs – with nails in them for good measure – to kill as much Americans as they can.
That never happened.
the point was, in case you missed it, that the FBI found a bitter halfwit, ranting against all the forces marshaled against him,all imagined, and gave him all the stuff he thought he needed. Then they snap the trap shut on him which when he gets out of the clink will really give him a cause to figure out how build a real bomb.
You seem to think that he is able and willing to figure out how to build and set off a bomb to kill a bunch of people, but he wasn't being really serious about it. Yet he will be getting serious about blowing up Americans after going to jail for conspiring to this very thing in the first place which is why the FBI is at fault.
He wrote before the FBI got involved that he was seeking advise on how to build a bomb. He was perhaps just joking about it then? If so it looks like he might be giggling about this one for the rest of his life. Better than this story ending in tears for this ISIS mujeheed than a bunch of unsuspecting beachgoers.
