According to a Fox 4 News report in Dallas, Texas, a would be terrorist bomber was arrested this afternoon by the F.B.I. The 19 year old man, Mosam Maher Husein Smadi who is a Jordanian citizen, was arrested by the F.B.I. and charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. He told agents he wanted to commit "violent jihad".
His target was the Fountain Place, a 60-story glass office tower located at 1445 Ross Avenue. This is one of the most well known and visible buildings in downtown Dallas. According to Fox News, the man is in the United States illegally. He was introduced to people he thought were fellow Al-Qaeda members in his attempt to obtain bomb material. The men he spoke with were actually working for the F.B.I. For the whole story, please see the Fox 4 News website here.
This was a legitimate terrorist plot to do harm to American citizens right here in Dallas. This man believed he left a car full of explosives at this building. Thankfully the F.B.I. made sure that his bomb was inactive and that he would not be able to carry out his murderous plan.
I wrote a recent article about having an emergency plan for your family in case of terrorist attack or natural disasters. You can see it here, it seems an emergency plan is a necessity, not a luxury now.
