Feds: Boston terror suspect planned to kill officials, attack mall
BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Investigators have charged a man with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists and other crimes, the acting U.S. attorney for Massachusetts said Wednesday.
Tarek Mehanna, 27, of Sudbury, Massachusetts, traveled overseas, sought training from the Taliban, wanted to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq and hoped to kill one or two members of the executive branch of the U.S. government, said Michael K. Loucks, the acting U.S. attorney for Massachusetts.
Judging from the picture, the reason they couldn't find any "assault weapons" was that they kept getting sidetracked by those delicious infidel Twinkies... It really looks like this was the "B" or maybe even "C" team here - more of a Keystone Terrorist group. They watched videos, they flew to hotspots, I'll bet they played lots of first person shooters, too, and figured they knew how to handle an AK based on using one in Counterstrike...
In all seriousness, it's a good thing they were so incompetent. An attack on a mall outside of Boston would have been Sarah Brady's wet dream; as it stands they'll probably gloat about this attack being foiled because of MA's tough gun laws... In any case, it sounds like what could have been a nasty attack was foiled based on good surveillance of the players combined with a little incompetence on the part of the bad guys.
In any case, be careful out there, folks...
That is all.

Wait....based on the stories the media put out in the past, I thought all you needed to do was "visit a Gun Show in NH" and with enough cash you could buy all the "assault weapons" you could fit in the trunk.
So either,
1. The media was not telling the truth.
2. These guys never heard of New Hampshire or are incomptent.
or 3. Thoose Gun Dealers in NH must be raaaacists.
The scary thing is I work in a mall, the closest one to Sudbury! Good thing they were so blitheringly incompetant!
It does not take much...... we had a local stoner POS that could not even hold down a McDonald's job shoot up the Westroads Mall.... you couldn't get me to go to a mall now if they were tossing gold coins from the second level of the food court: They are all GFZs ....
Jihadi plot disintegrates because would-be martyrs can't find automatic weapons in America.

I hate to say it, but I clapped for this tool at graduation when him, his brother and his father were up on stage. This guy received a Doctors of Pharmacy, someone you would think would be a upstanding citizen, and he does this.
There is an article in today's Herald that says the the state's tough gun laws might have "KO'ed" the plot. What drivel.
Some of the comments are hilarious.
I plan to post about that, if you or Borepatch don't beat me to it.
Yeah you really do qualify as lazy when you just don't have the effort to shoot up a mall with a semi auto.
