PORTLAND, Ore. – Undercover agents in a sting operation stopped a Somali-born teenager from blowing up a van full of explosives at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in downtown Portland, federal authorities said. The bomb was a dud supplied by the agents and the public was never in danger, authorities said.

[...]

The FBI affidavit that outlined the investigation alleges that Mohamud planned the attack for months, at one point mailing bomb components to FBI operatives, whom he believed were assembling the device.

[...]

Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen living in Corvallis, was charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and is scheduled for a court appearance Monday. Few details were available about him late Friday.

Authorities allowed the plot to proceed in order to build up enough evidence to charge the suspect with attempt.

[...]

U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton released federal court documents to The Associated Press and the Oregonian newspaper that show the sting operation began in June after an undercover agent learned that Mohamud had been in regular e-mail contact with an "unindicted associate" in Pakistan's northwest, a frontier region where Al Qaida and Afghanistan's Taliban insurgents are strong. The two used coded language in which the FBI believes Mohamud discussed traveling to Pakistan to prepare for "violent jihad," the documents said. In June an FBI agent contacted Mohamud "under the guise of being affiliated with" the suspected terrorist. But the documents did not say how federal officials first became aware of Mohamud.An undercover agent met with him a month later in Portland, where they "discussed violent jihad," according to the court documents. As a trial run, Mohamud and agents detonated a bomb in Oregon's backcounry earlier this month.

Why did this come right after the public outcry over TSA new rules about security procedure where they touch your penis and vagina? Nothing works better than fear in suppressing public grievances.

Your all handicap I have been saying this for awhile, this is all part of building the case for "the dark side"

It doesnt matter-- the big question we should ask is--WHY did this somali kid fall for it? when it comes to terrorism attempts--why does it have to come from the most Islamic nation on earth? Pakistan, Somalia and Nigeria.(the nigerian under wear bomb attempt? the new york street car bomb attempt? and now this one) WHY?? The question should be--are we muslims or monsters? And what lesson have we learnt from this all? As Somalis- Somali jihadists wanna be--should learn that---u cannot trust anyone. Attempting terrorism act should be a no no. end of story.

I don't even know. I can't imagine the number of times people who said they were Islamic converts tried to proposition me about discussing extremism and anti-American foreign policy bordering on activism and I have always kept my head above the water. The kid is clearly at fault because he either was sympathetic to such things or simply dumb, but still something is not right with this story.

Also, how could he been monitored with his emails read, etc for such a long. What would someone do or say to be monitored that long? I swear to God I think all Somali youth are being monitored for no reason thanks to the Patriot Act.

No shit, they monitor our old grannies, you think they'll leave you and me alone? Why do you think I mix in masturbation posts and drunken tirades every now and then?

My key to staying free: Any time I'm reading about or watching AQ/Taliban/Shabaab videos or materials on the net, I always go to porn sites before hand or after hand for a good hour long period, like ridiculous snuff and pregnancy porn, just to confuse the idiots sitting behind a computer somewhere in Virginia.

Well the feds definitely set the thing up. But what was the idiot doing trying to follow through on it. If he got a really good lawyer he could probably get off on entrapment. But he'll get a public defendant, and take a guilty plee

[ahmad guray]

"Lock 'em up the HU TU BOY and throw away the key" . I have absolutely no sympathy

[VybzKartel]

Yes, he has a good shot at defense. That was clearly entrapment to the definition.

He actually reminds me of GrandpaKhalif saying something nonchalantly as he does and being entrapped.

When I read about this kid grandpakhalif came to mind too. So did hutuking and galia.

[grandpakhalif]

Seems like I'm the butt of all jokes here.

[udun]

Is this a case where ACLU can help and does any one know how can they get involved in a case like this? This is a perfect case where he can make hus defense.

[Hyperactive]

anika abdulsamad ban o baqaya wallah, granpakhaliif was smart enough ino is dabaqabto. lol

also worried about mad mullah guy, malmahan wa la wayey.

[James Dahl]

US is scary man, they can get a court to give them access to anything.

This is why my web server is based out of Toronto. No PATRIOT Act in Canada.

A better question: was the kid caadi in the head? I have serious doubts with the amount of gullibility and stupidity he showed. I am sure they'll get a doctor to check him out.
