Somali teen tries to blow up Oregon ceremony

[union]

A teenager has been arrested in the US state of Oregon after allegedly plotting to carry out a car bomb attack at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

Somali-born Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested after making a telephone call he thought would set off the bomb in the centre of Portland.

However, the bomb was a fake supplied by agents in a sting operation.

Mr Mohamud is a naturalised US citizen who had allegedly been in contact with an associate in north-west Pakistan.

The Oregonian newspaper said Mr Mohamud had driven a van to the ceremony and was arrested 18 minutes before the tree lighting was to occur.

Court documents said the case began in August 2009 with e-mail exchanges between Mr Mohamud and his alleged associate in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province.

The Oregonian quoted Oregon US Attorney Dwight Holton as saying: "This defendant's chilling determination is a stark reminder that there are people - even here in Oregon - who are determined to kill Americans."

He said there was "no reason to believe there is any continuing threat arising from this case".

By doing sting operations on Somalis already assumes that Somalis are criminals as sting operations nothing but entrapments. Are all Somalis really criminals in the eyes of the people carrying out these operations?

Why not carry out a string operation against a dumb ass who's been getting instructions from his masters in Paki land?

This shit is just getting out of hand. Its like a deliberate conspiracy to frame the entire Somali population into a terrorist/criminal stereotype. Somalis do a lot of fucked up things but there's no way that all of this shit could be coming together in such a short period. Since just 2008 in the US Somali community, we've committed suicide bombing, pimping, alarming street violence, and now this, yet before 2008 we were like angels. This just sounds like shit to me, FBI were probably inside the pimping rings and street gangs trying to create a criminal profile for Somalis. Skinnies don't know this yet but the state department is grooming them to be the catalyst for Muslim targeted concentration camps inside America. Just read this f-king article, the FBI was with this guy the whole way through, they probably approached 100 Somali kids and tried to get them to plant a bomb. We need to get the fuck out of this country now.

Yep, it's all a government conspiracy.

Union, I got a feeling that you get off to seeing misguided kids get sent away to jail. ...Or maybe Barre Hiiraale's military defeats have turned you against anything associated with "youth."

Good one.

I don't give two hoots how "misguided" he was, he should have had the decency to know that blowing up a gathering of innocent people who've never done anything to harm him or his family is inherently wrong. He'll have the next few decades of his life to reflect on the error of his ways in a state penitentiary, when he's not with baba that is.

Gar maba laheen khaniiska xunka What an ungrateful turd, I bet you anything a church goer in that crowd probably assisted his family when they arrived, gave them tinned food or whatever, then the little shit tries to blow them up

On Friday, an undercover agent and Mohamud drove to downtown Portland in a white van that carried six 55-gallon drums with detonation cords and plastic caps, but all of them were inert, the complaint states.
They got out of the van and walked to meet another undercover agent, who drove to Union Station, the Portland train station, where Mohamud was given a cell phone that he thought would blow up the van, according to the complaint.
Mohamud dialed the phone agents had given him, and was told the bomb did not detonate. The undercover agents suggested he get out of the car and try again to improve the signal, when he did, he was arrested, the complaint said.

The whole case stinks and looks like a setup. It is very obvious from the news reports this kid was approached from the age of 15 and was groomed to be in this sh-t. This is a tragedy.
