| Quote: | Teen Held Over Christmas Car Bomb PlotA teenager has been arrested after attempting to detonate a device moments before a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in the US, officials have said.
Somali-born Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested by FBI officials on Friday evening in a car-bomb sting operation in Portland, Oregon.
The suspect is said to have driven a van to the crowded event, parked and tried to detonate a device using a mobile phone.
However, the supposed explosive was a fake, supplied to him by FBI operatives.
Mohamud shouted "Allahu Akhkbar" (God is the greatest) and tried to kick agents as they swooped in on him, prosecutors said.
"The device was in fact inert, and the public was never in danger," the US Attorney's Office has been reported 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.
"The good work of law enforcement protected Oregonians in this case - and we have no reason to believe there is any continuing threat arising from this case."
The sting operation began after an undercover agent learned that Mohamud had been in contact with an "unindicted associate" in Pakistan's northwest frontier region.
According to a federal court document, Mohamud and the "unindicted associate" used coded language in an email in which the FBI believes Mohamud discussed travelling to Pakistan to prepare for "violent jihad".
In June last year, an FBI agent contacted Mohamud "under the guise of being affiliated with the first associate".
Mohamud and the undercover agent agreed to meet in Portland on July 30.
At that meeting, the agent and Mohamud "discussed violent jihad," according to the court document.
Mohamud told the agent he wanted to set off explosives at the annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square.
Mohamud, a naturalised US citizen of Corvallis, Oregon, is accused of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. (Mods Note--Is that a new definition for WMDs? The US Army therefore using WMDs in Iraq and Afghanistan)
He will appear at Portland's District Court on Monday. |
