Oregon jihadist in failed bomb attempt made “Osama-style” pre-attack video, railed against parents who “held me back from Jihad in the cause of Allah”
Obviously, the folks had a few extra reasons not to let Junior borrow the car on a Friday night. “Six 55-gallon drums [of explosives] with detonation cords and plastic caps,” for example.

Foiled Oregon jihadist: “I want whoever is attending that event to leave, to leave either dead or injured”
The kid must not read the news. Mohamed Osman Mohamud’s foiled plot and subsequent arrest were in many ways an exact replica of those of Hosam Smadi, the failed Dallas jihadi, and Talib Islam, who tried to bomb an Illinois federal building just before Smadi’s arrest. And tellingly, his rhetoric was also familiar, as he […]
