Alleged Suicide Bomber Arrested in D.C. Attack Plot

There will be more of these suicide bomb plots.

It's a natural progression of things in the war on terror. Jihadis will bring it right to our front doors, blowing themselves up in the name of Allah.

All I can say is thank goodness we nabbed this f-cker. Sheesh.

At Washington Post, "Federal agents arrest man who allegedly planned suicide bombing on U.S. Capitol." And at Los Angeles Times, "Affidavit: Bomb plot suspect said he 'would be happy' to kill 30 people":

Reporting from Washington — An immigrant from Morocco armed with a jammed automatic weapon and wearing a suicide vest packed with what he thought were explosives was arrested Friday near the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, officials announced.

Amine El Khalifi, 29, who allegedly had overstayed his visa after arriving in the U.S. when he was 16, was charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against government property.  FBI agents had been closely monitoring him for more than a year in an undercover sting operation.

An affidavit described El Khalifi strutting around a hotel room with the gun and vest, watching himself in the mirror as he practiced how to pull the trigger and detonate the vest bomb by calling a cellphone number.

He also allegedly discussed hitting military targets near the Pentagon and a restaurant during the crowded lunch hour in Washington. But eventually he settled on the Capitol, authorities said, planning to shoot his way inside and detonating the bomb. He reportedly told undercover FBI agents he “would be happy killing 30 people.”

He appeared briefly in federal court in nearby Alexandria, Va., where most of the investigation was handled, but did not enter a plea. He faces life in prison sentence if convicted.
